Construction Management / Owners Rep
As a result of VERTEX's experience with taking over troubled construction projects, we understand how to protect the interests of the Owner through ensuring project controls are followed. VERTEX also ensures project schedules are maintained so timely completion is achieved. VERTEX typically staffs each project with a full or part time manager to serve as your "eyes and ears."
