FAQs
Construction management should begin during the design phase to ensure specifications are constructible and cost-effective. Early involvement allows us to identify potential field challenges, optimize contractor procurement, and establish quality control protocols before construction begins.
Our approach is to conduct construction management collaboratively with stakeholders and contractors to ensure that the project is constructed in a cost-effective and timely manner in accordance with the design specifications. We support our clients in everything from contract enforcement to community outreach communications.
We take a multidisciplinary approach, combining our expertise with colleagues specializing in investigation, risk assessment, permitting, remediation, and data analysis. This ensures our construction management support is fully integrated with your environmental strategies. Additionally, having construction managers involved during design allows for a comprehensive understanding of the existing site’s conditions and the goals for the remediation.
Integral’s deep expertise allows our professionals to fulfill multiple project roles simultaneously, reducing the need for additional staff while maintaining rigorous oversight. We offer competitive day rates and flexible engagement models that scale to project needs, ensuring you receive expert construction management without unnecessary overhead. Our full-service continuity from investigation through construction eliminates costly communication gaps, and early design involvement prevents expensive field changes that impact budgets and timelines.
