Project Management

Shingobee’s project manager takes responsibility for all aspects of a building’s construction, from the planning and design phase through the closeout and occupancy.

  • Project close-out and commissioning
  • Post-occupancy evaluation

We will provide you with all the information you need to make informed decisions at every stage of the project. Our construction management team will provide the leadership and expertise to accomplish the vision and the goals for the new facilities.
