  • As the demand to expedite the project schedule without sacrificing quality continues to increase within the engineering and construction industry, it has become necessary to consider alternative means of providing service to our clients. Our designers and construction managers work under one contract in a partnership with the project client and/or owner. With a wide range of design, planning, and construction services, Pennoni has utilized this technique to fast-track projects while still offering innovative, quality, and cost-effective solutions. Our P3 (public-private partnership) projects develop in a similar manner. In both cases, Pennoni greatly considers the quality of work and can customize our services to meet the needs of the client and the project team.
