“Construction Support Solutions’ attention to cost, quality, management, and scheduling; depth of knowledge into the rules and procedures of public improvements; and ability to keep the district’s interest foremost in all circumstances are exemplary.”

Brion Deitsch, Superintendent
Fairview Park City School District

Improvement and maintenance projects of any size, from minor painting, to renovating restrooms, to expanding a facility can quickly become time consuming endeavors that require dedicated focus separate from day-to-day operations. Construction Support Solutions brings the unique combination of construction management and dispute resolution with technical knowledge of construction to alleviate the added burden of a project on staff.

The continuity and stability of facilities operations, and the investment being made into the continued success of that facility are the primary focus of our efforts as we work efficiently and cooperatively to provide the project control and oversight necessary.

Our services include any combination of program management tasks to assist staff through improvement and maintenance projects helping to coordinate and manage risk.

Too often we have seen very good projects end in what could be called failure when the Architect, Engineers and Construction Managers leave. The concept of “the project is not over until it’s over” can conflict with the costs associated. Obviously these folks have a business to run and the employees involved are not cheap.

Let us help navigate the many essential construction management services:
