Construction Management
CONSTRUCTION MADE EASY: ONE AGENT, NO HASSLES
The construction process is inherently complex and demanding, requiring exceptional communication, meticulous attention to detail, and boundless energy to ensure a successful outcome and an inspiring client experience. At M.Hudson Design, we recognize these challenges and leverage Matt Hudson’s over two decades of landscape construction experience to offer comprehensive construction management services.
Our dedicated construction management division streamlines the construction journey for our clients, mitigating difficulties and ensuring a seamless process. Acting as our clients’ owner agent, we represent their interests throughout the construction process, advocating for their vision and ensuring that every detail aligns with their expectations. Additionally, we serve as the single point of contact, eliminating the need for clients to manage and coordinate multiple contractors.
We provide robust support through all three phases of construction: Pre-Construction, Construction, and Post-Construction. Our commitment is to bring your landscape design to life on time and within budget, without compromising on quality or integrity. At M.Hudson Design, we are devoted to transforming your vision into a stunning reality.
