Owner’s Project Management

Chip Darmstadt

Emeritus Executive Director, NBNC

An incredibly worthwhile investment. We couldn't have accomplished what we did without HELM.

How HELM OPM works

Construction is complicated! We'll expertly help you select your project team, keep the project schedule and budget on track, manage communications so the whole team performs better, and proactively address issues that could cause delays or lead to cost overruns.

We'll provide context and expert recommendations for key decisions. With regular reports, we'll make it easy for you to share updates with your leadership and board. And with a wealth of knowledge around design, construction, and energy efficiency, we'll offer perspective that can yield better solutions and keep costs lower.

  • We would highly recommend HELM to anyone in need of guidance on any aspect of their building project.

  • HELM is highly efficient, knowledgeable and organized.

  • We would work again with every single resource HELM helped find for us.

  • From permitting to construction, HELM kept our facilities committee on task.

  • I couldn’t recommend HELM more highly!

  • HELM was expert at communicating with the many players involved in our major construction project.

  • HELM helped ensure our project was completed on time.

HELM OPM and your bottom line

OPM will be a new line item in your budget, which — given the pressure to control costs — can be difficult to consider. But over the life of a project, OPM can yield considerable savings so is best seen as an investment that will:

  • Protect your leadership team's time (and sanity!) so they can focus on running your organization, project fundraising, and making really critical project decisions.
  • Reduce construction costs wherever possible, decrease project management fees from your contractor, and dramatically reduce delays, change orders, and cost overruns.
  • Ensure a durable, sustainable building with low ongoing maintenance and operating costs.
  • Provide continuity in project management, no matter what happens within your organization's leadership or board.
  • Support fundraising with a building plan and design completed up front.
