Pogue Construction’s Role as CMAR
As CMAR, Pogue managed preconstruction planning, phased bid packages, and cost control to maintain the guaranteed maximum price. Our team implemented value engineering and leveraged drone technology for site mapping and quality checks, ensuring accuracy and safety throughout the build. Despite tight timelines and supply chain challenges, Pogue delivered the project on schedule for Fall 2025.
