About Us
PRJX mgmt llc provides program & project management services as an owner’s representative for owner-occupants and commercial tenants, with an emphasis on corporate campus, bio-medical R&D and manufacturing, and major interior construction and renovation projects.
We are proud to contribute the experience we have developed as partners with a lengthy record of successful collaboration in the service of the clients who’ve entrusted us to represent them. Our two principals have worked together since 1998 in a variety of roles and different organizations: contractor and consultant, client and representative, peer and collaborator. We have each been part of large organizations and small firms, and have come to recognize that our work relies on presence, not presentation.
We have completed nearly 2.5 million square feet of projects of varying scope, size and complexity. We know one another’s strengths and weaknesses, understand our respective roles and responsibilities, and benefit from the kind of communication that flows from familiarity and shared experience. We have established strong and productive relationships that enable us to be effective managers, emphasizing collaboration while recognizing our ultimate responsibility and accountability for the end result.
