Construction Management
The cornerstones of successful construction management are teamwork, experience and organization. Orion Engineers and Constructors’ managers respect the essential part played by all team members including contractors, engineers, architects, owners, suppliers and inspectors. Their engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) experience gives our construction managers the ability to delegate information and tasks to all team members as needed, and to manage all general contracting, design-build and pre-construction services. Orion Engineers and Constructors’ managers provide the skill needed to accomplish all tasks involved in a project, from integration of engineering to document control, contractor coordination, turnover, commissioning, and material expediting and warehousing to systems identification.
