At each major juncture in the design process, CM&D conducts a team-oriented critical review of the project documents. The team is able to uncover potential problems and through value engineering strategies, resolve critical issues, thereby avoiding hidden costs and lengthy delays. Value engineering applied during this crucial early design development phase results in greater control and more predictable outcomes, maximizing the owner’s construction investment.

Providing accurate, timely estimating and critical path scheduling from entitlement and the design process through the construction phase is essential in successfully managing complex projects. Employing state-of-the-art software, we monitor and track all project activities, generate detailed budget and cash flow reports, Gantt timeline charts, PERT organization charts, task and resource allocation assignments, and schedules.

We provide the leadership to manage the entitlement, design, and construction processes with efficient, disciplined procedures. Our key personnel include regional project directors, project managers, construction managers, value engineers, systems engineers, construction scheduling experts, civil, structural, mechanical and electrical engineers, architects, city planners, interior designers, and accountants. All communications among the owner, contractors, and design team are funneled through CM&D to guarantee quick, efficient decision-making and a single source of accountability.

Design management has become the most important component of the CM&D project management delivery system. If a project’s design is carefully managed to ensure it is consistent with the owner’s vision, schedule, and budget, then the construction process is a simple execution procedure.
