Construction management for Houston owners and developers: we manage your project day to day (schedule, trades, inspections, change orders and draws) so you don’t have to run the job yourself. You own the project and hold the contracts. We manage it, and we never build it or mark up the construction cost.

Construction management is running the job. Someone has to keep the schedule moving, line up the trades, push submittals and RFIs through, meet the inspector, price every change and check every invoice. On most owner projects that someone is either the owner, who has a business to run, or nobody.
We are that someone. Epex Consulting manages the construction on your behalf from preconstruction through closeout for owners, developers, investors and franchise operators across Houston and Texas, and gives you one plain-English status every week with the dollar and schedule impact of every open issue.
They’re different services, and we offer both.
Also different: a contractor’s project manager works for the builder, and a CM-at-risk firm is a builder that guarantees a price. Epex does neither. Read owner’s representative vs. construction manager.
We are based in Cypress and manage projects across Greater Houston, including Katy, Cypress, Spring, The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Pearland and Southeast Texas. We also manage projects in Dallas–Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio, and for out-of-state owners building in Texas.
Usually a monthly fee for the length of construction or a fixed fee by phase, and hourly for small scopes. We quote after a short project review, and we take no markup on construction costs.
What does a construction manager do for an owner?
Runs the construction day to day on your behalf: schedule, trades, submittals, inspections, change orders, pay applications and closeout, with a written report to you every week.
Is construction management the same as an owner’s representative?
No. A construction manager runs the job. An owner’s representative protects you while your general contractor runs the job. We offer both and will tell you which one fits your project.
Do you build the project or hold the construction contract?
No. You own the project and the contracts; we manage them. We never mark up construction costs.
Can you take over a project that’s already underway?
Yes. We reconcile the budget, schedule and draw status, flag the open issues and take over management from there.
When should I bring you in?
Before you sign with a contractor if you can. Most of a project’s cost and schedule risk is locked in during design and contracting, long before construction starts.
Do you manage projects outside Houston?
Yes. We work across Texas, and for out-of-state owners building in Texas, with site visits scheduled to match the project.
