Construction Management
From the pyramids to the house down the street, all projects begin with a vision that becomes a reality through the process we refer to as construction. Constructive Building Solutions provides services to aide our clients from vision to commissioning or at any step along the way. Projects require the services of designers, construction contractors, and other vendors. Each member of the project team has responsibility for their area of expertise. Our primary job as Owner’s Representative is to ensure that each member of the Owner’s team of specialists work in a manner that serves the Owner’s overall interest and contributes to the project’s success. No architect, consultant, contractor or vendor share the Owner’s overall interest with the exception of the Owner’s Representative. This is the role that Constructive Building Solutions provides as Owner’s Representative.
