Capabilities

What PM Covers

Project and risk management work — whether under our GC contract or as owner's representative — covers planning, scheduling, cost, quality, safety, and stakeholder coordination.

Preconstruction Planning

Estimating, value engineering, constructability review, and scope definition before contracts go out for bid.

Schedule Management

CPM scheduling, critical-path tracking, look-ahead schedules, and resource leveling that keep delivery dates defendable.

Cost Management

Detailed budgeting, change-order discipline, cost-loaded schedules, and earned-value reporting against owner cash flow plans.

Quality Management

Submittal control, mockup approvals, ITP-driven inspections, and punch-list close-out tied to contract specifications.

Safety Management

Site-specific safety plans, daily JSAs, weekly toolbox talks, and OSHA-compliant incident response.

Stakeholder Coordination

Owner, design team, AHJ, subs, lenders, tenants — a single communications cadence keeps everyone aligned.

Why Araiza

PM Built Around The Owner

Project management is fundamentally about defending the owner's schedule, cost, and quality position. The operating discipline below is how we do that.

01 / Owner's-Rep Discipline

Defensible Decisions

Whether we hold the GC contract or act as owner's representative, our PMs operate from the owner's perspective: clean documentation, defensible decisions, no manufactured urgency.

02 / Risk Logged, Not Hidden

Quantified & Reviewed

Active risk registers covering owner, contractor, design-team, and external risks. Quantified, owned, and reviewed at every meeting — not just at the end when they become claims.

03 / Bi-National Jurisdictions

U.S. & Mexico Fluency

Comfortable with TX and MX permitting, customs, labor codes, currency, and tax considerations. Cross-border projects don't need separate PM teams.

Frequently Asked

Questions We Hear Often

A general contractor performs and self-performs construction work. A project manager (or owner's rep) represents the owner — managing schedule, cost, contracts, and decisions on the owner's behalf — without holding the construction contract. AGC plays both roles depending on the engagement.

A risk register lists every identified risk, who owns it, its probability and impact, the mitigation plan, and the current status. The register is reviewed weekly with the owner. Risks that materialize become issues with documented responses, not arguments at the end.

EVM compares the value of work physically completed against the value planned and the cost incurred. It surfaces schedule slips and cost overruns early — typically 30–60 days before they'd show up on a standard P&L. Owners use it to plan funding and respond to slippage.

We price change orders with the same crew rates, material markups, and overhead percentages we used in the base contract. No change-order tax. Every change includes scope, cost impact, schedule impact, and owner sign-off before work proceeds.

Yes. We've stepped in as owner's rep on projects that ran into schedule, quality, or contractor-relationship issues. The first 30 days are diagnostic: schedule reset, cost reconciliation, risk register, recovery plan — then execution.
