PMCM
Clients rely on us to work with them side-by-side to deliver a complete program from start to finish. Because we actually live in the cities and counties where the work is happening, we are personally invested in the long-term outcomes of any Capital Improvement Program or a major construction project. Customers can lean on us to be an extension of their staff assisting them in reaching their goals as integrated partners and neighbors.
As a result, Freese and Nichols’ Program Management and Construction Management experience is deep and wide. We’ve managed billions of dollars of programs and construction projects in all of our service lines, from airports to reservoirs, countywide roadway programs to energy facilities. Our clients keep coming back to us because we don’t offer an off-the-shelf product. We provide customized solutions and help only where you need help. Because of our community-level relationships, we’re familiar with your situation and in many cases already know your staff. This pairing of regional resources and national-level expertise results in responsive service that solves your complex problems and meets your specific needs.
Program Management
Working with municipalities, state and federal agencies to help implement complex programs that have a series of projects, we know that every organization is different. Our program managers customize an approach according to your needs. Integrated with your staff, we help you organize multiple and concurrent efforts; provide general consulting; implement processes and technologies; assess risk; leverage funding options; navigate regulatory requirements; scale available resources appropriately; manage the variety of stakeholders and contractors; and expedite program and project timelines.
We work hard to make sure every dollar is spent wisely. Clients have benefited from our national program management resources, processes and techniques applied at the local level. At end of the day, we measure our success based on whether you have achieved your results.
