Construction Management Services

The traditional method of building often begins with hiring an architect or a general contractor. However, this approach may not always be the most effective. Architects typically offer little to no project management, and general contractors often focus solely on construction due to their busy schedules. This can lead to significant gaps that result in delays and increased costs. That's where Foley CDM LLC comes in as your trusted commercial construction manager.

We provide a comprehensive range of construction management services tailored to your needs, including:

- Assisting you in finding the perfect retail or office space, or identifying suitable land for your project.

We have successfully managed a variety of projects as a commercial construction manager. Our portfolio includes commercial buildings and residential properties, with project values ranging from $100k to over $2 Billion. Our expertise spans multiple sectors including: Steel high-rise, Concrete tilt-up, Tenant improvements, Office, Hospitality, Hi-tech cleanroom, Government, Aerospace, Multi-unit apartment buildings, Medical, Convention, Resort property, Education, and Single Family Residential. As both a commercial development manager and a residential construction manager, we also act as a construction owner representative and residential construction owner rep to ensure all projects are completed to the highest standards.

Our goal with every project as your commercial construction manager is to provide the support and oversight necessary to effectively manage your project. Early pre-planning and preconstruction are crucial, as they set the stage for a successful project, helping it run as smoothly and efficiently as possible to minimize impacts and delays. 

Let's face it, no construction project is perfect; budgets can expand due to changes and unforeseen conditions, and even minor issues can push out the schedule, ultimately increasing the overall project cost. This is where early planning and coordination from a commercial development manager can make or break a project. 

Ideally, we can get involved as early as possible—right from land selection or finding a retail space—which drives the design and ultimately influences the budget. As your construction owner representative, we advise on the design process to ensure the budget is realistic, and collaborate with contractors to ensure they fully understand the project for accurate pricing. We evaluate all subcontractor bids to confirm that scopes of work are precise, oversee the project, review invoices, ensure trades are coordinated, and lead final punch walks. 

We can assist as much or as little as you need, whether you're looking for a residential construction manager or a residential construction owner rep. We charge an hourly rate and only bill for the hours spent working on your project.

With over 25 years of experience as both a commercial construction manager and a residential construction manager, we are dedicated to providing a project experience you can trust. Whether you need a commercial development manager or a construction owner representative, our expertise ensures that every project is handled with the utmost care and professionalism.
