CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
McGann employs a well designed planning approach to construction management. This planning incorporates all aspects of pre-construction, bidding, construction and post-construction details along with quality control. We call upon our experienced project managers and general field superintendent to follow this method and develop a plan to make sure the project is completed as efficiently and cost effective as possible.
We have found that our clients respect our approach to a clean and safe job site. They also appreciate the manner in which we organize and manage the bid process. The owner has total access and open communication is a given.
Recently we have added outreach and workforce development hiring to our construction management services. We have gained valuable experience with recent projects that have required outreach planning along with coordinating job fairs. We have successfully assisted owners seeking grants tied to energy.

Once the team is set, we can develop all the necessary project information that will be critical to you the owner. We will develop schedules, provide value engineering throughout, review subcontractor selections and keep you informed from the initial design to occupancy.
