CGA Project Management

What CGA Project Management does

CGA Project Management, LLC is a privately held professional services firm headquartered in Fall River, Massachusetts, that provides Owner's Project Management (OPM) and pre-construction services for public-sector building projects across southern New England, including Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Founded in 2004, the firm operates through two related entities — CGA Project Management, LLC for OPM services and Compass Group Architecture, LLC for designer services — and is co-led by partners Daniel Tavares II and Andrew P. DiGiammo, whose combined 60+ years of AEC experience anchors partner-led execution on every engagement. The firm's OPM service catalog spans project delivery, design phase management, communication and schedule coordination, cost certainty and budget management, and closeout/warranty services including a 10-month post-completion warranty program. The company is differentiated by a documented methodology that keeps project budgets within 1% of original estimates and has produced verifiable cost savings on multiple projects (e.g., $7M savings on Mulcahey Elementary, $2.5M under budget on the Holden Public Safety facility).

The business model is professional services revenue earned on a project-fee basis (typical OPM fees are a percentage of construction value) through public-sector procurement processes. Engagements are contracted directly with municipalities, K-12 school districts, and public safety agencies, with project construction values ranging from $15 million to $200 million and a cumulative managed value exceeding $1 billion. The go-to-motion is enterprise field sales into public entities, leveraging deep institutional knowledge of Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) and Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) funding and approval workflows, as well as MCPPO-certified project manager credentials required for state-funded school projects. Marketing relies on a project portfolio website, LinkedIn, Instagram, mailing list, and partner-led industry conference participation (e.g., SMA Annual Conference keynote).

The customer base is heavily concentrated in public-sector education (five named K-12 school districts) and municipal/civic infrastructure, with selective engagement in public safety facilities and a small commercial practice (FGX International, Maxon Motors, a historic mill conversion). The firm is small (11-50 employees, partner-led), has no external institutional funding, no parent company, no technology products, and no disclosed AI capabilities. Competitive positioning rests on partner expertise, regulatory-process fluency, and a track record of on-time, under-budget delivery rather than proprietary technology.
