Program Management

MAAS provides comprehensive program management services for its clients. In these relationships, MAAS acts as the "owner's representative." The firm operates out of an on-site facilities development office and coordinates the hiring of construction managers, architects, engineers and other professionals. In all instances, MAAS is an extension or augmentation of District facilities development staff, and is tasked with looking out for the best interests of its client.

Our program management staff members include construction professionals, planners, construction finance professionals, architects, cost estimators and engineers. In the role of program manager, the firm has saved Districts millions of dollars in their capital construction programs, expedited projects, reduced change orders and ensured compliance with regulatory and statutory requirements.

MAAS also provides construction financial reporting and management support. A major challenge for all facilities development programs is financial tracking and reporting. This is especially true when there are multiple funding sources, such as a local bond and State funding. In 2004, the firm developed a web-based software tool called PROMPT.ed™, to track capital construction finances.

The program provides construction professionals easy access to the information they need. It also provides real-time management reports that assist in making critical decisions. PROMPT.ed™ has been successfully deployed and implemented on several community college construction programs, increasing efficiency, regulatory compliance and transparency. MAAS has in-house technology professionals who created and continue to support and improve the PROMPT.ed™ system.
