Professional Management for your Construction or Land Development Project

Construction Management (as Owner's Agent)
The expertise and experience as a general contractor and real estate developer makes WGPITTS uniquely qualified to manage your project.
WGPITTS has significant experience as a Construction Manager (CM) as Owners Agent representing clients, partnerships and government agencies as their agent to manage the programming, design, engineering, construction management, commissioning and development of projects.
Construction Manager (CM) as Owners Agent, also called CM as Advisor or simply CMa, is also a derivative of the Owner's Representaitve role. But instead of the Owner overseeing the construction process, WGPITTS as the construction manager agent (CMa) is hired by the owner to oversee the entire project.
Once hired, the CM stands in as the owner's representative and advocate in every step of the construction process from preconstruction, to design and bidding, through construction. This makes CMa ideal for project owners who want an expert's help managing their project or communicating between parties, and sometimes CMAR allows owners to remove themselves from the majority of the construction process altogether.
These capabilities will enable WGPITTS to assist our clients to get the project completed with the goals of being accident free, on time, on budget with high quality. The project approach is organized into the following Phases of services:
