Project Management
The foundation of what we do. Using weekly sprints, agile methodologies, and easy-to-use technology-based tools, we create project transparency that enables clients to quickly visualize, understand, and solve project roadblocks in real-time, on projects of any scale.
We believe that the industry must continue to innovate to survive in our rapidly changing world. New technologies, volatile construction and financial markets, and ever evoloving return to work policies, will impact how we manage projects going forward.
To help navigate this ambiguity, we help you develop tools and processes to give your team an edge. With the implementation of simple tools, emphasis on transparency and communication, and a flexible mindset, teams can be just as effective working remotely.
These tools and processes include:
Focused work sessions to guide teams to consensus and develop execution plans, using agile methodologies.
Training on how to move to a remote working world, including creating a culture of shorter, more frequent meetings along with transparency in information sharing.
Consistent, rigorous weekly sprint process to establish predictability, trust, and peer accountability.
Support on innovations including modular and manufactured building strategies.
Ensuring contract commitments are clear, transparent, available for reference, and are governing every step of the process with outside parties.
Implementing live team dashboards and technologies that give teams a view into project metrics so they can stay within budget, on schedule, and have a clear path to escalate risks.
Owner’s Representative
In the face of a complex project or complicated contractual relationship, we leverage valuable technical knowledge to identify and mitigate inherent project risks. From negotiating contracts to managing budgets and schedules, our services will ensure that your project continues to move forward.
Because many organizations do not retain construction management expertise in-house, hiring an Owner’s Representative can be a huge step towards mitigating project risk. Our varied experience in the AEC industry means that we know how projects come together and can provide valuable insight while brokering contracts, managing project schedules, or organizing teams.
Services may include, but are not limited to:
Scope and sequencing planning and activity assignment.
Building and maintaining project schedules and budgets.
Contract negotiation and representation with architects, contractors, engineers, local jurisdictions, and consultants.
Documentation and reporting status and performance metrics to the owner.
Risk analysis and mitigation for traditional and modular/manufactured buildings.
Operations & Program Management
Intiative-led program management and operating infrastructure is all about creating collaborative teams that have the authority and speed to respond to programmatic needs and amplify efficiencies across a portfolio. We will help build teams, employ technology tools, and leverage your teams’ talents to deliver projects at scale.
Whether in a start-up environment or in an established firm looking to grow and innovate, program management is the deployment of tactical teams to solve for specific operational, portfolio, or client issues. Initiative-led program management requires guiding diverse teams through analysis and problem-solving techniques to implement lasting infrastructure solutions.
We build strategic solutions grounded in clear requirements and transparency, ensuring no team is lost to the ambiguity of implicit responsibility.
Activities for Program Management services may include:
Identifying, auditing, and prioritizing key initiatives, and creating actionable projects to solve for these initiatives.
Pulling together large, disparate teams and guiding them towards programmatic goals by building delivery models.
Identifying areas where repeatable processes can drive value or automation —and executing on that vision.
Managing a targeted implementation and change management process.
Support for implementation of new technologies and construction innovation including CLT and modular construction systems projects.
Client Program Development
Client program development zeros in on project specific operational challenges made by client decision making and will leave you and your clients with the type of infrastructure that can grow revenue. It builds on program management, consolidates work, and allows transparency into prioritization and goal-setting based on your customer’s priorities. We help you create a customized portfolio-wide client process that is scalable and driven by revenue-generating decision making.
Client Program Development is the process of creating a client-oriented revenue generating system. This involves creating an infrastructure that helps both your firm and your clients clearly prioritize their goals.
Without a clear decision making infrastructure guiding the process, you may find yourself running into the same road blocks again and again with your teams and deliverables, making it difficult to leverage available revenue streams. In the AEC industry, this often occurs when offering an innovative and less conventional service such as pre-manufactured building components.
Through client tailored infrastructure, we lead teams to execute a global process that defines and consolidates customer decision-making. These processes align with the client’s highest priorities ensuring that all decision points lead to revenue and are aligned with the client’s way of doing business. This also creates a transparent way for the client to move through your business to fully leverage your business’ products and services.
Services may include:
Client engagement roadmapping and evaluation of client decision points.
Identification of consolidation or risk mitigation opportunities.
Development of a clear client services charter and streamlined process to manage changes.
Support across the client’s organization and related contracted entities.
Support for engaging and educating clients on new technologies and innovations, including modular and manufactured buildings.
Creating a system and process for a client to effectively engage in your organization so that they may best leverage the value proposition of your services or products.
