Our OPM professionals build trust with local stakeholders, communicating clearly and looking out for the community’s best interests.

We wear many hats: managing budgets, evaluating change requests, and enforcing transparency throughout the entire project lifecycle. We maintain a constant presence onsite, observing and reporting on progress to ensure smooth construction throughout the project.

At SMMA, our OPM service prioritizes cost-effectiveness.

We are here to implement your plans, not push back on your budget. We will be your champion, advocating for the best value at every stage. We understand that money can only be spread so far. All of us live in towns and communities with similar aspirations: new schools, new fire and police buildings, new public works facilities. Often, these buildings are decades old and in need of rehabilitation. SMMA’s OPM team helps you bring these projects to fruition within budget.
