Construction Manager as Advisor (CMa)
A Construction Manager as Advisor works solely in their client’s interest, providing expert guidance throughout design and construction. Unlike a General Contractor, the CMa does not self-perform work or profit from change orders. Instead they manage bidding, scheduling, and construction on the client’s behalf, ensuring every decision supports the project’s goals, not a builder’s bottom line.

“Waterbourne was a true partner in this endeavor and had our best interests in mind every step of the way. I can recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone wishing to have a construction manager who does what they say they do and never loses sight of the owner’s goals and objectives.”
– John J. Ottaviano, Esq. (President of the Board of Directors), Lockport Ice Arena & Sports Complex

“Waterbourne was a successful part of our formula for success—helping to keep costs low, meeting deadlines, minimizing change orders, and producing a facility that we are as proud of today as we were the day it was opened.”
– Stephen R. Anderson, Ph.D (Chief Executive Officer), The Summit Center

“Waterbourne helped manage a significant re-construction project in the historic Guaranty Building in Buffalo in 2019. Waterbourne’s daily oversight of contractors and trades work was critical to the success of the project. They also were instrumental in uncovering some potential issues that could have caused budget overruns and delays.”
– Paul Pellegrino (Facilities Director), Hodgson Russ LLP

“I would strongly recommend Waterbourne Construction Advisors to provide CM services as I’ve found the site superintendents, clerk of the works, and support staff to be flexible, polite, and professional when performing their duties. Ownership was also polite and had a strong customer focus.”
– Michael D Dombrowski, CPMM (VP of Operations), Niagara County Community College

“From the design and budget stage to handing us the keys, it was an absolute pleasure working with the Waterbourne team! Honest, thorough, and with attention to detail, resulted in a spectacular building we are extremely pleased with! They turned our dream into a reality! Don’t build until you talk with Waterbourne first!”
– Mark T. Schiferle (Owner), Capital Fence Co. Inc.

“The Waterbourne onsite supervisor did a spectacular job coordinating with the subs and keeping our facility safe and operational during the construction.”
– Michael R. Lippa, Jr. (COO), Multisorb Filtration Group
