Project Development and Management

Project Management & Technical Services helps the government in the construction of building and infrastructure projects from design through to the complete delivery of a project.

Project Management

Project Management provides the regional delivery of the projects, manages the process, budget schedule, scope, quality and risk of project implementation. Project Management administers the contracts with architects and engineering consultants and construction contractors. It authorizes expenditures, changes and reports the physical and financial status to client departments and Nunavut communities.

CGS staff make sure the Government’s workspace meets the needs of the GN employees. This is done through project support and construction cost estimating.

There are 2 important aspects of Project Management; these are Project Support and Construction Cost Engineering:
