At MAAS, we believe building for a better future requires investing in the future. Investing in the work we do, organizations and people we partner with, communities in which we participate and serve, our families, the list goes on…
We’re proud to work with clients and partners that bring a like-minded focus to our projects. We’ve developed solutions that embrace and build upon aggressive environmental goals, standards, and guidelines.
Tune into the latest episode of "The Construction Influencer with Nicole Sanchez" with our President, Lori OKeefe. Lori discusses how empowering teams can drive growth.
Construction project timeline delays, increased material costs, labor shortages, and supply chain lags stemming from the pandemic have reportedly affected 70% of construction projects across the nation (*see citation), however Maas Companies, advisors in program and construction management for the academic community, believe the tide is close to changing.
Investing in the future of our communities is important to ensure the success of the next generation. MAAS is excited to work with The Guardian Scholars Program, whose mission is complementary to ours.
MAAS was featured in "58 Best Irvine Education Startups – The Future of Education" by Startupill.
This article showcases our top picks for the best Irvine based Education companies. These startups and companies are taking a variety of approaches to innovating the Education industry, but are all exceptional companies well worth a follow.
A Bond Program Manager oversees bond-funded construction projects, construction activities, and related personnel. Bond Program Managers must protect the public and the stakeholders of the business services division by knowing best practices to avoid financial missteps that could expose the district to an audit.
School District leadership must first and foremost keep their campus, students, and staff safe. Hiring a Certified Construction Manager (CCM) to help navigate the ever-changing codes and regulations specific to operating in this type of environment can lessen the stress and pressure for the project team.
MAAS is proud to announce that our West Los Angeles team is working on the long-awaited building replacement project for the West Los Angeles Community College facilities department.
Supply chain problems are disrupting construction projects, pushing out schedules and deadlines.
MAAS posted a recent Linkedin Poll regarding construction in educational projects:
“How much longer has the supply chain problems pushed out your project schedule?”
The options listed were 2 months, 3 months, 4 months and 5+ months. To our surprise, 50% of the respondents selected 5+ months.
Have you felt like more and more projects are using design-build (DB) delivery lately? If so, your intuition is correct. While design-build has been in use for many years, its popularity has been steadily growing in recent years. According to recent census data, design-build construction spending will surpass $1.2 trillion dollars by 2021, with an expected growth rate of 18% and more than $320 billion in increased spending. By 2021, design-build construction spending will represent 44% of all construction dollars. Manufacturing, Highway/Street and Education represent the market sectors with the greatest percentage growth during the 2018-2021 period, with highest growth rates in the Mountain, Pacific , and South Atlantic census divisions at more than 6% growth each.
As owner’s representatives, program managers, and construction managers working in the Education sector and with other public and private entities, we at MAAS Companies have experienced this trend firsthand. We have led and managed design-build contracting and execution for dozens of projects and have seen the benefits—and challenges—this delivery method presents.
