CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES

At Waterbourne, Construction Management goes beyond coordination, it’s about representing the owner’s best interests at every step. We bring structure, transparency, and disciplined oversight to each phase of the project, ensuring that cost, quality, and schedule stay aligned with your goals.

Unlike traditional contractors, we operate independently, with no financial ties to any trade or vendor. This allows us to provide unbiased guidance, prioritize value, and maintain clear accountability from pre-construction through closeout. We manage bidding and procurement, review drawings for constructability, oversee on-site activity, and track budgets and schedules in real time.

Our team’s strength lies in experience and steadiness under pressure. With decades of work on complex hotel, education, and public projects across Western New York, we understand how to anticipate challenges before they impact progress. We keep communication open, resolve issues quickly, and maintain momentum even on the most demanding builds.

At Waterbourne, collaboration replaces confrontation. Every project benefits from thoughtful planning, steady leadership, and a genuine commitment to delivering a finished product that reflects the owner’s vision and long-term success.

Construction Manager as Constructor: Efficient Project Delivery

Our aim is to streamline the construction process, ensuring efficient delivery while upholding the highest standards.

“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.”
