Construction Management in Indiana

Independent cost and schedule oversight for school districts, public agencies, and commercial owners — available as CM at-risk or CM as agent, from design review through closeout.

Your Advisor Across the Whole Project


In a construction management role, R. Chavez Construction serves as the owner's trusted advisor through the entire lifecycle — design review and budgeting, trade contractor selection, and construction oversight. We offer both CM at-risk (we carry delivery responsibility under a guaranteed maximum price) and CM as agent (we manage on your behalf while you hold the contracts).

This delivery method is especially valuable for school districts and public agencies that want independent cost and schedule oversight working alongside the design team. Our project managers have deep experience in multi-phase, occupied-facility environments where the building has to keep operating while the work gets done.

CM at-Risk vs. CM as Agent


CM at-Risk

We hold the trade contracts and commit to a guaranteed maximum price — you get cost certainty and a single accountable party.

CM as Agent

We act purely as your advisor and manager while you hold the contracts — maximum transparency and owner control.

Schedule Oversight

Independent schedule tracking that keeps the design team and trades aligned to milestones.

Cost Oversight

Early, independent budget feedback so surprises surface in planning, not in the field.

Occupied Facilities

Phasing and sequencing built for schools and public buildings that can't shut down.

MBE Prime

As a certified MBE, our involvement can support your participation requirements.
