How We’re Different
Our core values directly translate to your success
Our company was started with a simple set of values: Be Resourceful, Think like an Owner, and Deliver Results. Being resourceful requires being proactive, using all tools available, and not just identifying problems but finding solutions. Thinking like an owner means our team treats every expense, every asset, every problem, and every relationship like it was yours. Delivering results reminds us, at the end of the day, that we are judged by what we do for our clients so do it right.
How we engage gives you an edge
With GMP’s roots in the owner side of project development and execution, one differentiating element in our execution approach revolves around the establishment of an Integrated Project Management Team (IPMT). The strength of the IPMT concept comes from combining resources from the two organizations to lower cost, increase engagement, and strengthen the partnership. Through this model, we have provided superior services in front-end process development, project planning and definition, project execution including monitoring and controls, procurement activities, construction management, commissioning leadership, and final hand off.
At GMP, our philosophy of standing by our clients when the going gets tough and working effectively and efficiently through the issues sets us apart from the competition. One of our greatest strengths and differentiators is that we don’t have to have all the project scope or management team to make a profound impact for our clients. We start with the end in mind, utilizing our interactive planning sessions and our internal planning tools, and we establish realistic expectations while laying out a clear vision for the management and execution of the project.
Our people are the best in the business
GMP is made up of a highly experienced senior leadership team and hand-selected team members providing industry-leading service to our clients around the world. Our experienced staff members have worked together for many years, solving problems and delivering results, and you can be assured they will be deployed on your project. In fact, since January 2012, our GMP staff have been instrumental in ensuring the successful completion of over $12B in capital projects. And with our flat hierarchy, our clients regularly benefit from having access to industry icons like Price Howard and Jay Alexander. So whether you need engineering design, procurement and tender services, construction management, cost control, schedule control, document control, contract management, or all of the above we have you covered.
We get to know you and your challenges
Early on, we get to know you and your challenges and from this vantage point we deploy evolving strategies that allow for a win-win for you and GMP with each of our strategies tailored to address a specific need. This gathering of data and subsequent flexible-strategy deployment leads to GMP aligning various proven techniques successfully during the early stages of a project’s development. To aid in GMP’s understanding of our clients, we use a decision matrix that considers several factors and then integrate GMP’s resources with an owner’s project team to assure owners top-quartile safety performance, budget, and schedule conformance through comprehensive and construction management execution plans.
One of the predominant issues we see on any project is inadequate communication, be it incorrect, insufficient, or overcommunication. And with projects requiring more professionals and contractors, the appropriate level of communication is paramount. Ineffective communication is often the underlying cause of engineering and construction problems, with inadequacies resulting from unrealistic expectations and critical tasks being overlooked. GMP utilizes interactive planning to align the client, key vendors, and service contractors to the schedule and critical activities. Then, using a best practice tool called a charter, we provide a concise overview of the project, including scope, timeline, decision hierarchy, and which organization is responsible for what elements of the project.
Our sustainability mindset runs deep
GMP is committed to contributing to sustainable solutions and environmental responsibility. We strive to make a difference in the world and believe environmental management and preservation is one of the most important ways we can have an impact. By championing a sustainable mindset within GMP we gain a competitive advantage while elevating our clients and protecting our planet.
Throughout the life of any of our projects we work hard to evaluate and present the most environmentally responsible solutions. We believe that being a responsible citizen will lead to short and long-term benefits for our clients, our staff, and the communities in which we live and conduct business. And partnering with our clients to always explore the most forward-thinking solutions to their problems gives us a great opportunity to do good.
As the world continues to move away from fossil fuels, GMP continues to support new environmentally friendly initiatives through engineering and project management. Our team has a long tradition in the energy transition market from renewable fuels and biological plastics to synthetic specialty chemicals. We have experience in gasification of various feedstocks including MSW and other waste streams. And we are always mindful of legislation that supports carbon intensity, capture and sequestration and execute projects that maximize these savings for our clients.
