Construction Management / Project Management / Construction Observation

KOA recently acquired CBM Consulting, a multi-disciplined engineering consulting firm, and now provides expanded services in Civil Engineering Design, Project Management, Construction Management and Observation, Staff Assistance, Grant Application Processing and NPDES Program Implementation.

Our construction managers apply many years of experience on Caltrans, municipal, utility and private construction projects for contract administration, cost estimating and budgeting, budget tracking, scheduling, and document controls. Our team provides all parties with up to the minute information, and is sensitive to the special needs of the community.

We streamline project management by working with the most recognized instruments and codes, such as the Public Contracts Code, the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction Green Book, American Institute of Architects documents, Americans with Disabilities Act, the Uniform Building Code, Caltrans Standard Specifications, American Water Works Association, and local standards to assist clients in managing all project phases, from preliminary design through construction completion. As part of our project management services, we develop revisions to standard specifications and bid documents to provide greater control in the construction phase.

Our construction observers have extensive experience with bridges, highways, heavy civil projects, roadways, utilities, transportation projects, rail, wharf and port facilities, federally funded projects, and virtually any other type of municipal or public projects. Our construction inspectors bring many years of accrued skills in dealing with contractors and keeping the projects on track for timely completion.
