PROJECT DELIVERY

CGA Project Management typically assist’s the owner in selecting the ideal project delivery method based upon the interests in speed, flexibility, need for cost certainty among other factors. Two fundamental goals which drive and shape our approach to Project Delivery include:

• Maximizing the Return on Investment for the Project
• Minimizing Risk associated with the Project.

In most cases, CGA is hired to assist the owner during the programming, procurement, construction and commissioning of a project. The CGA difference, compared to our competition, is that we don’t work exclusively on a granular level of task performance and project controls, rather we actively weigh the consequences of all tasks, from all of the disciplines involved in the project and focus on QA-QC, change order mitigation, schedule and contractual enforcement. Our approach is to work with the owner to customize our services to most effectively match the project's requirements and the Owner's needs.
