Construction contract management services is our specialty. TLC Engineering, Inc. has specialized experience in providing construction contract management services applying Construction Industry Institute (CII) best practices to simultaneous projects of varying dollar magnitudes (ranging from $50,000 to greater than $5,000,000) on complex facilities. TLC Engineering, Inc. uses its in-house staff of qualified engineers and project and construction managers. For added support, we have a number of Teaming Agreements with small and large firms of various disciplines when additional engineers, construction managers, inspectors, and support staff are needed. In addition, TLC has mentor protégés who also provide support.

For TLC, five factors characterize every successfully completed construction management assignment: (1) cost control, (2) quality construction, (3) safety, (4) timely completion, and (5) efficient project delivery. TLC realizes the importance of each of these factors for every assignment. We understand what each assignment entails, and our experienced managers have the required skills to fulfill every job assignment. We integrate the efforts of our team members and focus them on the one common goal—successfully completing the job quickly and efficiently.
