Triangle Construction Management Company

What Triangle Construction Management Company does

Triangle Construction Management Company (TCMC) is a privately held construction management services firm headquartered in Durham, North Carolina. Founded in May 1994, the company operates as a small professional services practice (1-10 employees) serving four primary customer segments: federal/state/local government agencies, architectural firms, general contractors, and individual homeowners or future homeowners in the North Carolina Triangle region (Durham, Wake, and Orange counties).

TCMC's core services span the full construction management lifecycle: custom home building, historic renovations, single- and multi-family housing rehabilitation, specification write-ups, plan reviews, structural and civil engineering coordination, property management and maintenance, site inspections, estimating, scheduling, cost control, claims negotiating, capital needs assessments, and lead-based paint inspections. The company's core technical capabilities rely on proven methods developed since 1994 and industry-standard cost benchmarking data from R.S. Means. A distinctive offering is the Owner-Builder Program (launched in 2005), which helps homeowners act as their own general contractor using TCMC's proprietary project management system to save an estimated 20-40% on construction costs by eliminating contractor profit and overhead.

The business model is project-based professional services with quote-based pricing. Revenue streams include construction management fees for residential projects, one-time planning phase fees (promoted at $750 for homes 2,500 sq ft or less), and consulting fees for owner-builder engagements. Distribution is direct sales via phone, email, and in-person consultation, with free initial consultations to attract clients. TCMC participates in competitive bidding for government housing contracts and maintains long-term client relationships (some spanning 10-20+ years) with entities such as Wake County Human Services, City of Raleigh Community Development, Town of Chapel Hill, City of Goldsboro, City of Durham, and various nonprofit housing organizations including Durham Community Land Trustees, Self-Help, and Passage Home. The company holds a registered trademark and operates with no external institutional investment.
