About Hixson & Associates

I’ve spent thirty-five years successfully running development, construction and design projects of all kinds.  These experiences have given me the ability to understand the opportunities and potential pitfalls of construction projects and I’ve developed strategies to navigate the process gracefully.

I am no longer seeking to actively manage projects but to engage in a short term or periodic relationship, mostly with non-profit organizatoins, and most often on a pro bono basis, to assist in navigating the process.

If you are a manager or board member faced with a real estate development or construction project, whether you have done it before or not, I can help in a number of ways including:

• Project initiation, getting off on a good footing and assembling an effective project team.
• General review of a project in progress to answer concerns and suggets possible course corrrections
• Staff development helping your internal project management team to be more effective and mentoring team members.
• Crisis management for projects that have gone off course whether it is for uncontrolled budget or schedule creep or consultant performance issues.

Project Management Resource  Over the years,  have developed a series of short articles that cover issues that have come up again and again in my practice.  They provide  a helpful resource when navigating your project.  See the tab above

Project Therapy As a companion project, I recently launched Project Therapy – How To Survive Your Home Renovation Project.  A resource for homeowners applying the strategies I leaned from commercial projects to home renovation   I see this as a soft opening and I would love your comments and observations.  See the tab above
