For construction companies looking to streamline project delivery, increase profitability, and achieve sustainable growth, establishing a dedicated Construction Management Office (CMO) is not just a plus – it’s necessary. That’s why Bax Construction has brought a CMO (Construction Management Office) into the fold.

The mission of the PL Management Group is to establish methodologies and implement tools and verification plans for each phase of the project, from planning to closeout, including the adoption of frameworks such as PMI and Agile.

Our goal is to ensure consistency and efficiency in every project we undertake.
