ABOUT US
COMPANY OVERVIEW/HISTORY
Continental Construction Management (CCM) was established in 2007 with the experience and leadership of its President, T. Van Fox.

We have been involved with a variety of projects, including multi-family, rehabilitation, renovation, restoration, senior housing, student housing, and new construction. We have worked with HUD, MSHDA, and federal, state, and local governments.

CAPABILITIES
The Continental Construction Management (CCM) team has years of hands-on experience, a vast number of reliable and quality subcontractors, and a reputation for completing projects on time and on budget. We primarily specialize in rehabilitation and flood and fire damage renovations. The team at CCM also has profound understanding and experience with the requirements and regulations held by MSHDA and HUD (MBE; WBE; Section 3; Davis Bacon/Prevailing Wage).
We have exceptional long-term relationships with experienced architects and engineers that results in a highly synchronized team that provides exceptional control of all construction factors, which results in quicker delivery times.
Specifically, since we focus on the affordable housing market, we assist in developing a pro-forma for tax credits, and aid in navigating the complexities of an occupied renovation. We meet the minimum MSHDA Standards of Design.
HOW WE WORK
Continental Construction Management (CCM) is a “one-stop shop” for construction management.
We begin by evaluating the concept and vision for the project, and create a budget estimate. We then assist with design, do value engineering and analyze the constructability, and provide the system and product evaluations.
Once the design development drawings are provided, our pre-construction team will then competitively bids the project to multiple subcontractors to arrive at a projected cost. We go through a few rounds of development and cost to get the best value.
After construction starts, we provide on-site supervision monitoring quality and safety. We have regular performance reviews to update the status and resolve any issues.
After completion of the project, we have a final audit to analyze if the specific goals for the project were met.
CCM furnishes all labor, equipment, and materials to complete the services and/or repairs to the property in accordance with a “Scope of Work.” All modifications to the Scope of Work are made in writing and signed by all parties.
CCM carries all required general liability and worker’s compensation insurances, and comply with all local requirements, building codes, inspections, zoning, and housing development authorities. We warranty all labor performed on the property, and provide a quarantined “not to exceed” contract sum.
