Our Experience

Our team of qualified professionals, each with more than 30 years in the industry, understands the business of construction and is ready to apply their knowledge, learnings and experience to your project. This background enhances project success. In every project there are expected and unexpected hurdles that pop up at the least opportune moments. We’ve faced these challenges. We know what the intermediate goals are, and what it takes to bring a project over the finish line.

Why Us?

Our seasoned professionals are focussed on project delivery. We represent only the owners’ interests in the project. Our advice is independent, and not based on best interest of designers, contractors or other parties. We are analytical thinkers, and proactive in our approach. We understand the interaction between the planning, technical, financial and legal aspects. One size does not fit all, we prepare realistic cost estimates and workable budgets based on scope of work. We develop project control systems tailored to each project designed, allowing early identification of budgets going off track.

Aspen CPM

Aspen CPM was formed in 2012, as a team of construction specialists, with diverse backgrounds in architecture, engineering, quantity surveying and project management, with a shared goal in working with our clients bringing vision to reality. We do not design, but we are designers. We have extensive experience in construction projects; we understand how projects are formed, how they evolve through design phases and how they are executed in the construction phases. We recognize that clients require the most out of their project within a set budget. We work with our clients from the earliest project stages to completion, and beyond.

Appointing an independent specialist project advisor early in the project makes sense. We provide feasibility studies, cost consulting, valuation of loss, loan monitoring services, dispute resolution and litigation support. We manage risk.

Our list of experience is diverse, and includes clients in oil & gas, industrial, commercial, school boards, courthouses, government services, residential for high net worth individuals, across Canada, USA, the Caribbean and further abroad.

We are accredited and proud to hold membership with CIQS (Canadian Institute of Quantity Surveyors), CACQS (Canadian Association of Consulting Quantity Surveyors), RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, ASAQS (Association of South African Quantity Surveyors), IFireE (Institute of Fire Engineers), ADRIC (Alternative Dispute Resolution institute of Canada), SCL (Society of Construction Law) and other relevant institutions.

Delivery of superior services by listening to our clients, understanding their requirements and providing professional advice, innovative solutions, technical capability, and cost effective solutions in supporting construction, property and insurance markets.
