Construction

The construction industry is one of the largest and most influential industries in the United States. Construction costs have a profound effect on the prices of goods and services produced in the facilities built by this industry. These prices, in turn, influence the national economy. If construction costs rise, then the prices of goods and services will increase.

In order to keep construction costs down and efficiency high, it is essential that this highly competitive industry continue to adopt practices, procedures and technologies that make the project and program management processes more intuitive and automated.

Financial planning consultants, architectural and engineering firms, construction/design firms, professional construction managers, operation and maintenance managers, and facilities managers can all benefit from stronger project management practices that tie project performance to an organization’s strategic goals and objectives.

Dekker offers a wide range of consulting services, education and products that enable construction managers to implement and maintain a disciplined enterprise portfolio and project management process. Our consulting, education and software solutions will help you decrease or eliminate cost overruns and scheduling delays, thereby increasing project performance.
