We enhance the business of projects

We believe every project is a business, unique unto itself.

We look at managing projects through the lens of a business owner with the goal to make projects profitable within their schedule.

We endeavor to deliver client experiences with passion, hospitality, balance, quality and strategic vision.

We recognize the importance of both forensic and creative approaches while fostering inclusivity and providing goal-oriented results. Finding the intersection between practical and human based solutions is invigorating. Effective facilitation requires hard work; attention to detail; an appreciation of the dynamics of human interaction and often, a robust sense of humor.

We offer assessments, planning, guidance, tools and training to elevate our clients project business.

"We don't derive strength from our rugged individualism but rather from our collective ability to plan, communicate and work together."

Project HIGHLIGHT

Iqaluit Airport, Nunavut.

A History Channel “Project Impossible” feature project

LEED Certified, P3, Alternate Project Delivery

In Iqaluit, Nunavut, construction had many constraints due to the long freeze season and remote location. The goal was to improve accessibility and connect communities. The project created an immediate benefit to the local Inuit families through expansion of Inuit-owned businesses, workforce training, population growth and tourism.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHT

New Orleans Permanent Canal Closures & Pump Stations.

A History Channel “Project Impossible” feature project

New Orleans, Louisiana is home to one of the largest drainage pumping systems in the world. With the risk of category 5 hurricanes, the importance of safeguarding the future of the city and surrounding communities drove decision-making on this project. With drainage concerns dating back to the birth of the city in the 18th century, the project has created a significant, positive community impact that is expected to provide protection for the next 50 years.
