The construction industry is one of the world’s most challenging professions. Owners and contractors are continually faced with tight budgets and aggressive deadlines. Completing projects on time, within budget, and without litigation requires a competent and effective team, working cohesively towards a singular objective. As program, construction, and project managers, Secretariat’s professional staff has managed all phases of the construction process.

With a portfolio ranging from modest commercial construction to some of the world’s largest infrastructure and energy installations, Secretariat is able to tailor our project management services to suit your needs. Whether the project requires preliminary consultation, operational management support, or project closing assistance, Secretariat is committed to providing professional representation for owners and contractors during all phases of the project and under all delivery systems, furnishing valued and cost-effective solutions to our clients’ most challenging requirements.

Program Management
Secretariat’s comprehensive program management services allow our clients to reduce risk in their capital programs and provide an environment where projects can be run successfully. We have the experience and knowledge base to keep multiple, interrelated projects in sync, on time, and within budget. Secretariat’s management professionals work with you to establish objectives, coordinate and prioritize resources across projects, plan and manage the delivery process, identify obstacles, control the overall cost of the program, and resolve problems as they arise.

Construction Management
Secretariat’s construction management team understands the demanding construction environment facing owners on and off the construction site, on projects locally, nationally, and internationally. This understanding enables our staff to provide construction management services with insight into every stage of the project through initial feasibility and pre-design, cost, budget, and scheduling control, contract administration and management, subcontractor management, coordination of contractors and suppliers, to project close-out and substantial completion.

Project Oversight
As an extension of the project team, our proactive attention to detail helps clients manage challenges, mitigate risk, and complete their projects in a profitable and timely manner. We offer a full suite of scheduling and cost services including bid assistance, contract document evaluation, baseline CPM development, schedule cost and resource loading, schedule updating and monitoring, and change order pricing and review.
