About

Our Facilities Services Small Projects Group philosophy begins with an established objective; a defined life span with a beginning and an end; specific time, cost, and performance requirements. The Small Projects Group is proactive, determined and innovative. Our focus is to complete our projects on time or ahead of schedule. We work with campus community members from the onset to identify needs then develop estimates of probable costs and a project timeline scenario.

Depending on complexity, scale and scope of the project, the Small Projects Group can provide you with the project management services you need to stay on time and budget.
