THE IMS ADVANTAGE
With IMS, you'll work directly with the co-owners from pre-design planning through close-out and warranty. We don't delegate the hands-on project elements to less experienced personnel, and we'll be at every meeting while managing all aspects of the work ourselves. Your projects will receive personalized attention from experts in the design & construction industry.
Executive Leadership
We know that regular, proactive stakeholder communication is one of the primary keys to project success. In addition to regular reports during design and construction, IMS also offers unique communication services. Working with your staff, we'll provide social media & website updates and make community presentations as you request to keep stakeholders informed and give them opportunities for feedback.
Proactive Communication
We're experts at negotiating and holding design and construction firms accountable for budget and schedule performance. This starts with creating master budgets and schedules, then driving the project milestones, resolving obstacles quickly, periodic budget analysis, value engineering exercises, risk analysis, adequate contingency planning, strict change order control, and a detailed review of job costs at close-out.
Budget & Schedule Control
We keep our corporate overhead low so we can offer billing rates for our executive leadership that is comparable or lower than most companies charge for mid-level project managers. And with our policy of no mark-ups on consultants or expenses, we routinely provide our exceptional services at a fraction of the cost of most firms, substantially reducing your project budget.
Lower Fees
Above all, you'll know the status of all aspects of your project at all times. We keep you informed about all decisions, provide options and solutions, advise on potential risk elements, review all costs with you before approval, and resolve conflicts with your agreement. And with our detailed project reports, budget spreadsheets, schedule graphs and document database, your stakeholders will have full visibility.
Transparency
At IMS, we're not just managing projects; we're ensuring that your goals and priorities are integrated for the future of your community. We ensure that your projects not only meet today's needs but those of future generations as well. Sustainable practices, quality construction, and thoughtful design ensure many years of use.
