The Construction Management Division of RICK ENGINEERING COMPANY provides cost saving and constructability assistance through all phases of project development. Our Construction Managers can provide project cost and construction schedule projection reports at the very early stages of project conception, and then follow through to project completion with plan constructability review, bidding, contractor negotiation, construction, coordination and project close-out. Project cost and schedule reports are updated at each significant project milestone, providing our clients the resources necessary to manage the project finances.

Rick Engineering Company's Construction Managers are experienced with a multitude of development types. These include single and multi-family residential projects, commercial centers, and industrial developments, as well as major streets and other public works projects. Sample projects include:
