All areas of today’s construction industry are constantly evolving. There is an ever increasing demand on all stakeholders to consistently have projects completed within specific time frames while finding new ways to save money and produce more technically advanced projects. SPCM’s President, Ronald Buchanan has more than 34 years of managerial experience in the construction industry, acting as a project superintendent or “Onsite Construction Manager” working on commercial, retail, industrial and institutional projects with value from $250,000 to more than $25,000,000.00. Mr. Buchanan has become increasingly aware that many municipalities are getting more deeply involved in their own construction endeavors, as a way to cut back on administration costs. However, they find themselves in a position where they cannot dedicate the resources or have the specific knowledge needed to best protect their interests. Most any project can be completed at lower overall cost, kept on schedule and construct safely by following basic and fundamental practices of good construction management. It is, not only critically important, but often is an absolute necessity for a municipality to know their project is going to be finished on time and within assigned budgets. Smart Plan Consulting and Management Inc. is committed to assisting any ownership group realize these goals.
