Hire an engineer to manage your engineers!

There is a reason Cities, Towns, Hospitals and Developers have Professional Engineers on-staff whom sole responsibility is to manage other contracted Engineers, Architects, and Contractors.  This practice ultimately saves the Owner time & money and results in a superior product.

CMCS is now offering this opportunity to the "smaller guys".  We offer competitive rates to step into the details of your project and bring the right people on-board to get it done.  We only get as involved as you want us to and we will not upsell you on unnecessary services like the larger firms may do.  It feels good to have someone on your side who knows the "rules of the game" and is 100% on your side.
