Project & Construction Management FAQ
Why doesn’t AM Technical Solutions do design?
Actually AM Technical Solutions does do design/build for specialty system installations and process equipment install projects. We do not provide full design and engineering services for Greenfield and basebuild projects.
Doesn’t using a Project & Construction Management firm just add overhead that I don’t have with a GC?
No. In fact, using a P&CM can actually reduce your overhead while giving you greater control and visibility into your project. As your P&CM, AM Technical Solutions is a direct bridge between your team and the subcontractors. But since we make no profit from the work performed by the subs, we are free to aggressively eliminate needless change orders and other costs.
What is the difference between Construction Management and General Contractor and/or Design-Builder type project delivery?
We actually function as experts who are seamlessly integrated into your own team. We can solicit, qualify, administer, and coordinate all contractors just as a GC does but without concealment or contract markups. Using a PM&CM is the closest thing to being your own GC. You control the project while we bring the expertise and energy to manage the subs, execute the plan, and complete the project on time, to specification, and within budget.
What is included in AM Technical Solutions’ Construction Management Service offerings?
Complete turnkey project administration, management, field coordination, and closeout. Our experience and flexibility allow us to jointly create the best-engineered solution for the project.
What makes AM Technical Solutions different from any other CM?
AM Technical Solutions entered the industry from the customer-consultant end of the spectrum instead of the GC or design/build end. We continue to maintain that same customer-advocate mentality. We have no hidden reasons to shield our customer from contract markups and change orders. Quite the contrary. Providing you with candid visibility into the project makes it easier for us to do our job, and it gives you better overall control of your project.
Our business model combines extensive experience with inherent flexibility. Because we are not captive to an archaic company method or structure, we are free to create a best-fit strategy for your project.
Our personal and corporate commitment and dedication to each customer is the primary driving-force of our company. Not only do we perform to the highest ethical standards, but we treat your project as if it were our own. This is the foundation of our corporate culture from top to bottom.
AM Technical Solutions is largely made up of project managers who run our company on the best principles of project management. Because it’s in our corporate DNA, we naturally run your project the same way.
What industries and scopes do you support?
Our primary focus is in the high tech and superclean industries like semiconductor, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and food/beverage/dairy. The scopes we support run the gamut from pre-groundbreaking programming through project punch-list, close-out, and reconciliation.
