Achieving a successful project requires a properly coordinated effort of many professionals. NEMA can act in a “hub and spoke” manor where the NEMA Project Manager is the hub, coordinating and holding accountability for each of the spokes on the team. For organizations looking for someone to handle this complex process, a development or project manager is essential. We work collaboratively with property owners, developers, institutions, architects and facility managers to cultivate effective communication.

We manage the team as it produces its collective deliverables, keeping clients informed and engaged throughout the process. NEMA Management provides the extra leverage to ensure projects are designed efficiently, fit the budget, stay on schedule and perform as needed.
