In the construction industry where high stress and knee jerk reactions are a norm, Collins Project Management has become known as the calm in the middle of the storm. In fact, they keep the storm clouds from gathering in Atlanta whenever possible.

Three decades of stellar client service landed them a reputation as program management leaders in healthcare, education and private clubs throughout the state of Georgia. Now, Collins Project Management is helping shape the skyline in new ways. For example, Collins project managers are the strong and quiet coordinators behind the scenes of projects like the Fox Theatre’s recent $10 million renovation in Midtown. They’re also working on the $125 million elevator Innovation and Qualification Center and a $35 million corporate headquarters for thyssenkrupp at The Battery Atlanta in the Cumberland area.

“Many of our clients are mission-based,” says Joe Collins, who serves as the company’s president. “Every dollar our clients spend on capital programs is precious.”

Project management, also known as program management, is a well-known practice today. But it was a new concept in the 1990s and Collins worked at a local firm at the forefront of the new concept. While he traveled extensively, he saw the potential for those services to impact his own community.

“I remember thinking, there has to be a need for this in Atlanta,” says Collins, who with his wife, Cheryl, launched the company in 1991.

Their first client was St. Joseph’s Hospital, which remains a client to this day.

Collins project managers start with a process to ensure good communication, inviting the client, the architect and the contractor to the table for their SamePage workshop.

“We typically spend a day getting together talking about the project, talking about the goals, the mission and how we’re going to work together, support each other and communicate,” explains Marcus Vess, VP/Operations.

The eye-opening process reviews each party’s expectations of themselves and of each other.

“When we’re done, there are usually surprises,” Collins says.

Another differentiator for Collins is the company’s focus on the big picture for every client, rather than just the project goals. They learn business goals and best practices, which can vary from one company to the next, even in the same industry.

“Our culture and philosophy is to understand the higher level goals for our clients and help them reach them,” Collins says. “We think like our clients and the outcomes they need. We don’t just react. We mindfully respond.”

Though Collins and Vess say it wasn’t intentional, all of the project managers they’ve hired seem to have a calming personality.

“We’re all even-keeled and level-headed,” Joe says. After completing 297 projects valued at $3 billion in the last 27 years, the team at Collins Project Management has unmatched experience.

As doors open to new projects and new areas of expertise, Joe, Cheryl, Marcus and the rest of the team remain the calm and thoughtful strategists helping their clients to build Atlanta. To learn more, visit collinspm.com or call 770-263-3733.
