They will learn to schedule and monitor projects, prepare and administer prime contracts with clients, administer subcontracts with the subcontractors and suppliers, and much more. Working together with the site team, they will be responsible for the design and construction of the project from conception to occupancy. Our team of Project Managers are given all of the resources required to manage their projects to completion. Senior management is prepared to motivate, set clear guidelines, and provide proven established procedures that are a key part of our success story. The collaborative approach to our work instills a sense of community on our projects, setting VanMar apart from others.

It is imperative that the design is carefully managed in an efficient, economic, and constructable manner, and this department makes a great impact in the early stages where some of the most significant design decisions are made. This department is also involved in logistical planning and collaborates with many other cross-functional departments including estimating, project management, and construction.
