Project Management & Employer’s Agent Services

At John Burke Associates, our collaborative project management team works proactively to deliver successful outcomes that align with, and often exceed, client aspirations. We manage construction projects from inception to completion, maintaining a strong focus on quality, efficiency, and strategic control at every stage.

Acting as both Project Managers and Employers Agents under Design & Build contracts, we offer a structured and intelligent approach to project delivery. Our clear communication and hands-on management style create a synergistic team environment that drives progress and productivity.
