PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES

YOU CAN RELY ON

Reduce Risk. Manage Unknowns. Make Better Decisions.

Public and private clients often struggle with uncertainty and risk when they have new construction, renovation, or expansion projects. And when you have multiple buildings and sites involved, complex issues expand dramatically. Even small decisions have enormous impacts on cost and schedule. We understand the value of unbiased project management services, and have successfully managed hundreds of projects large and small from pre-design to post-construction. Our team of architects, engineers, estimators, and construction veterans skillfully manage details, so projects proceed without delays or overruns.

  • Program Management

    In Program Management (PM), we manage several related projects to improve an organization’s performance. Today’s agencies and facility manages are understaffed so they need help to manage very large projects, which includes selecting design and construction firms and day-to-day management of budget, cost, schedule, and project quality.

  • Construction Management

    Our Construction Management (CM) services include proven techniques to oversee planning,  design,  and construction of a project, from pre-design through post- construction. CM is compatible with all project delivery systems, including design-bid-build, design-build, Construction Management-at-Risk, Build-to-Suit, and Public Private Partnerships.

  • Cost Estimating

    Our Cost Estimating services provide a realistic appraisal of current project costs so designers and owners can make better decisions as their project progresses during design. We use industry-standard cost indices, historical costs from recent projects, and we tap into suppliers and vendors for real-time estimates that are reliable and accurate.

  • Planning & Scheduling

    Planning and Scheduling services are inherent in effective project management. A good schedule arranges tasks in a concurrent and logical manner to maximize effectiveness and minimize durations. Our schedule management process is proactive, and our team works with owners, designers, contractors, and stakeholders to build a comprehensive Total Project Schedule that acts as the  roadmap throughout the design, construction, and closeout phases.

  • Document Control

    Document Control is a critical service that minimizes delays and budget overruns. We review contract documents from the design and construction teams, and digitally track Submittals, RFI’s, Supplemental Instructions and ASI’s so it’s easy to stay current with reviews and Contractor inquiries. Effective document control means fewer problems in the field, leading to better project outcomes.

  • Value Engineering

    Value Engineering is not the same as cost cutting. Great design is a collaborative, evolving process, and designers and contractors must understand the triple constraints of budget schedule, and quality to determine the most effective solutions for any project. If design or construction appears to be heading toward budget busts, we tap into the expertise of all team members to determine optimal strategies and alternatives that achieve cost, schedule and quality requirements. 

  • Claims Management & Analysis

    Design and construction claims are complicated and having a third-party professional firm can save time for already-busy project owners. Our team’s Claims Management & Analysis expertise is noteworthy because we managing schedules, costs, and quality every day. Our professionals understand the complexities of construction documentation and project execution, which results in a detailed, thorough investigation of the facts leading to a claim.

  • Litigation Support

    Sometimes public and private owners are faced with serious legal matters, and it’s important to have a Litigation Support expert to explain the situation based on professional knowledge, expertise, and ethics. Abacus does not do design or construction, and you can rely on our impartial perspective to sift through legal terms and circumstances, so you have accurate and reliable information to make legal decisions.
