CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES

CID Group can provide the full range of construction management services, as the owner’s agent, that are typically provided by a general contractor.

In reality, a construction manager and project manager’s skill set, aptitudes and services are highly intertwined and sometimes indistinguishable. The role of CID Group is generally that of an owner’s representative, however we routinely provide services which may be considered construction manager’s services. We firmly believe that fair competition among qualified, capable general contractors ultimately results in the best construction pricing for owners. However, we realize that for various reasons this may not always be a feasible approach. In this event, we are prepared to provide full support for all construction activities.
