Program and Construction Management
CPM offers professional construction services throughout various phases of
a project - from planning, design, bidding, construction and closeout. As Program
Managers, we assist Owners in planning and executing the necessary tasks to
meet their goals. Our services include project management, budget and master
schedule development, contract packaging, design management, bid services, contract

Managers, our focus is to successfully deliver a quality project on time and

of the project.
CPM underscores the importance of understanding a client’s goals. This is vital step in determining the appropriate staffing and extent of services on a project. We offer qualified and experienced personnel to perform quality assurance, project controls, document control, bid evaluation, contract award, contract negotiation, realistic budget and schedule reporting, RFI turnaround, submittal and contract change order processing, claim analysis, interface utility/agency coordination, testing and startup coordination, and final closeout. CPM emphasizes effective communication. This element fosters a partnering relationship, effective problem solving, enhanced performance and increased motivation. It promotes strong team approach to demanding projects that result in a win-win situation. Project Controls
As our name suggests, CPM specializes in Critical Path Method scheduling. We
believe that the key elements of project controls are:
We effectively implement project controls and management procedures that promote adherence to the project schedule and budget. We establish project control systems that can adapt to the uniqueness of each project, that can be easily and systematically maintained and updated and, most importantly, could be used as effective tools to monitor the respective responsibilities of each member of the project team. Our experience in project controls enables us to anticipate problems and develop alternatives to assist the owner in reaching practical and cost effective solutions. CPM is at the forefront of the latest technological advancement in project controls. We are proficient with integrating schedule information with manpower forecasts and the various cost elements. We keep projects organized and its participants fully informed. Cost Estimating
CPM provides a complete range of estimating services during progressive stages
of a project.
Our estimators have extensive experience in a wide spectrum of projects. Our expertise includes the civil, structural, architectural, mechanical and electrical disciplines. We generate estimates using the latest computerized estimating systems that result in expeditious preparation and flexibility to our client’s needs. CPM strives to ensure that our cost estimate closely reflects market conditions by keeping up with the latest local cost trends in the construction industry. Field Inspection
Often construction projects, particularly government and other publicly funded
projects, require that an independent consultant monitor day to day construction
activities for compliance with contract documents, plans and specifications. CPM
employs inspection staffs that are familiar with applicable codes, facilities
operations and safety standards. Our inspectors recognize the importance of keeping
the project moving forward. That mind set enables them to work effectively with
the owner, designer and contractor in developing solutions to construction issues,
while maintaining quality of work and ensuring conformance with the contract documents.
Claims Analysis
Although CPM takes a proactive role in the elimination and mitigation of construction
claims - they still arise.
We provide our clients with capable staff in the preparation and evaluation of project claims. Our expertise in project controls affords us the fundamental understanding of the root cause and effect of construction issues, thereby allowing us to assess causation, quantify the schedule and cost impact, and formulate a negotiation position. When the need for claims resolution arises, we assist our client in preparing and evaluating claims, from construction and contract documents, for their equitable settlements. CPM has provided claims support to both public and private clients, which have resulted in favorable outcomes. We assist in reviewing claims; prepare or evaluate delay analysis; calculate and demonstrate the effect; develop strategies and positions; establish entitlement; and prepare exhibits for use during negotiations or legal proceedings.
