Project and Construction Management

CRH’s three phase approach to Project and Construction Management unites us with Owners, Architects and Consultants in an alliance built for speed and accuracy. Acting on the Owner’s behalf, our team of specialists will monitor the smallest detail and control every pre-construction, construction and post-construction activity that makes up your project to ensure superior results. CRH provides management expertise in the critical areas of planning, designing, budgeting, cost control and scheduling.

Under a Project and Construction Management contract the client secures the services of a Construction Manager to work with the Design Team and, depending on the client’s needs, with Trade Contractors and Suppliers.

This early collaboration in the project and construction management process promotes effective project coordination and communication from the start, creating an environment for success. CRH is a flexible construction company that will operate under various contract types and fee structures (e.g., cost plus, guaranteed maximum price, percentage fee, and fixed fee) to meet the client’s needs.

Benefits to you - as project and construction managers, CRH applies its' project and construction management expertise in the area of construction costs, schedule, and marketing trends to help ensure the project executed within your physical guidelines.
