CM (Construction Management) PRIMER

We at PilotCM understand that complex facilities and systems often require enhanced communication and controls unique to the building industry. Pilot Construction Management incorporates best practices for a professional and innovative approach to managing resources, people, and technology.

Our construction management services include all the technical and administrative management services to guide any project from reconstruction and the initial bid stage, through the final walk through and certificate of occupancy.

Becoming involved early in the design phase is the key to our success as your construction manager. The sooner we become involved, the sooner we can use our expert resources to put together a construction team that will complete all projects, no matter how complex, on time and within budget.

The practice of low-bid often means lower quality—cutting corners in equipment, personnel and materials to lower the price. It costs more in the end due to compliance issues that were overlooked, poor communication, restarts and missing the occupancy date. We consider price and talent for best results from start to finish.
