Higher Education

In today’s extremely competitive environment, every project is a signature project for institutions of high learning. The full-time and part-time student "consumers" place a high value on the quality of the facilities in their selection process. Boards of Trustees are seeking ways to attract the best instructor’s, through facilities that support research and development. Administrations are challenged to deliver more services with less operational dollars. All these challenges translate to higher expectations for the delivery of building programs. The Skillman Corporation has the experience and professional staff to deliver projects within your budget and on your timeline.

Long Range Planning

Capital improvements evolve over time (often several years) through a tremendous effort in the project planning and development stages. As each building program evolves, having accurate construction cost projections is extremely important. The Skillman Corporation provides a team of in-house professional estimating and scheduling professionals that are very aware of construction cost trends and projections. We can assist you in developing more accurate project budgets in the early planning phases of a program.

Working on Active Campuses

Most projects at colleges and universities occur within an active and vibrant campus. The Skillman project team understands the need to anticipate and coordinate construction activities within your network of support services to ensure we avoid problems before they happen.

Regional Office Advantage

As colleges and universities expand their services to off-campus and multiple campus locations, The Skillman Corporation is well positioned to be their partner. In the construction industry, regional market factors can vary dramatically. Through our regional office network, we maintain local market knowledge of costs, construction practices, labor pool, agency approvals and material availability. Each of our regional offices is staffed with individuals rooted in their local community, offering our clients a unique commitment to their project’s success.
