PROGRAM MANAGEMENT AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

Two Paths. One Connected Process.

Whether you are planning a renovation, addition, new facility, or broader capital improvement program, some of the most important project decisions happen long before construction begins.

Program Management helps you define the project. It focuses on the early decisions that shape a successful project. Stahl helps owners evaluate facility needs, establish priorities, define project scope and budget, and create a practical roadmap for moving forward. We discuss:

  • What should be included in the build?
  • What can you realistically afford?
  • How should we approach it?

Construction Management delivers your project. It turns the plan into reality. Stahl works alongside the owner and design team to manage cost, constructability, procurement, scheduling, and construction through project completion. Together we decide:

  • How to successfully plan the project?
  • When be materials and equipment should be procured?
  • What is the best way to build it?

Together we will answer your questions and identify practical next steps.

Program Management Process

Setting Up Your Project for Success

Program management helps you define your project before design and construction begin. By bringing construction expertise into the planning process early, you can make informed decisions about your facility needs, scope, budget, schedule, phasing, procurement, and project delivery strategy. Stahl works alongside your team to turn your goals and priorities into a practical path forward, helping you understand your options, anticipate challenges, and establish realistic expectations before significant time and money are committed.

Early Planning

Starting with a clear understanding of what your project needs to accomplish, we help evaluate priorities, constraints, and opportunities so you can establish a strong foundation for your project.

– Define project goals and priorities
– Evaluate existing facility needs and conditions
– Develop preliminary project scope
– Assess project feasibility
– Prioritize capital improvement needs

Cost Planning

It is important to understand the potential cost of your project before significant design dollars are spent. Early construction cost planning gives you the information needed to test ideas, compare options, and make informed decisions as your project takes shape.

– Conceptual budgeting
– Cost modeling
– Estimate validation
– Market conditions
– Cost escalation considerations
– Life-cycle cost evaluation

Schedule and Phasing

Understand the complete path from planning through construction and occupancy. We help you identify schedule requirements, phasing needs, procurement timing, and potential constraints early so they can be addressed before they affect your project.

– Preliminary project schedules
– Occupied-facility planning
– Construction phasing
– Procurement timing
– Long-lead material and equipment planning

Project Delivery and Strategy 

The right construction delivery method depends on your project, priorities, schedule, risk tolerance, and desired level of involvement. Stahl helps you understand how different delivery methods affect cost transparency, responsibility, contractor involvement, and project risk so you can choose the approach that best supports your goals. We can help you evaluate:

– Construction Manager as Advisor (CMa)
– Construction Manager at Risk (CMaR)
– Design-Bid-Build
– Procurement strategy and timing
– Risk and responsibility
– Contractor engagement timing

Need help deciding which construction delivery method is right for your project?

The construction delivery method influences when contractors become involved, how costs are developed, how risk is allocated, and how much flexibility you have throughout planning, design, and construction.

Not sure where to start? Stahl can help you compare construction delivery methods, establish preliminary budget and schedule expectations, and identify the next steps for moving your project forward.
