Construction Management & General Contracting Services

As construction manager and general contractor, Datum Construction's involvement begins from the earliest stages of design through to client occupancy. Datum’s open-book management approach provides the client with comprehensive control over all aspects of the project, including budgeting and scheduling, while utilizing our management and team capabilities to supervise construction activities, control costs, achieve timely performance, manage material deliveries, and maintain quality production standards. Value engineering survives the life of the project and is continuously employed to optimize costs and time to ensure that design and materials meet physical and functional requirements. The project team transitions its day-to-day activities to a field site operation to provide hands-on supervisory services. Our scope of services during the construction phase includes:
