CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT

CSD’s Construction Project Management advisory services are designed to manage complexity by acting as an extension of the project client’s key staff. From inception, CSD  may be retained to assist in the concept development, conceptual estimating, feasibility studies, scheduling, value management, value engineering. Through CSD’s CPM advisory services, the project client’s confidence in the success of the project will improve. Our goal is to offer the project client the option of tailoring our services in order to provide the best combination of project control and cost by providing consulting services where needed.

It is critical for the project client to take into consideration a contractor’s experience, qualifications and early involvement in order to ensure the success of the project. As Construction Project Manager At-Risk, CSD, works alongside the architect, engineer and project client to optimize project design, schedule and cost. Balancing all the variables and their relative costs become essential elements of success. First, a guaranteed maximum price is negotiated based on the design documents. CSD becomes the single point of contact and will bid all trade contracts to ensure the lowest price from qualified subcontractors. Based on project requirements and location, CSD can also partner or joint venture with local firms to ultimately maximize the project’s staffing requirements.
