Introducing Project IQ

How we run
every engagement.

Project IQ is CIG's proprietary methodology — the same rigor, the same accountability, every project. Whether you're moving 5,000 square feet or 500,000.

Predictable outcomes are not luck.

Most commercial projects miss because no one truly owns the owner's side of the table. The GC has their margin to protect. The broker has their commission. The architect has their reputation. Each is doing their job — but no one is doing yours.

Project IQ closes that gap. Four disciplines we apply on every engagement, refined over 30+ years of commercial project work, so the outcome on your project looks like the outcome on every CIG project that came before it.

Four Pillars

The Project IQ Method

Four disciplines we apply on every engagement — the same rigor, start to finish.

01

Structured Intake

We replace the typical "let's see how it goes" kickoff with a documented baseline of scope, budget, schedule, and risks — agreed by every stakeholder before work begins.

  • Documented project charter
  • Owner priorities captured first
  • Scope, budget, schedule baseline
  • Risk register on day one
02

Transparent Budgeting

Every vendor bid is visible to the owner. No hidden mark-ups, no quiet kickbacks. The budget is a working document — not a black box.

  • Open-book vendor bidding
  • Line-item budget tracking
  • Change orders pre-approved
  • Real-time financial visibility
03

Founder-Led Execution

Chuck or a partner is on every engagement, every week. You don't get handed off to a junior manager once the contract is signed.

  • Senior leadership weekly
  • One point of accountability
  • Direct access to founders
  • 30+ years of experience at the table
04

End-to-End Accountability

One team from broker selection through punch list close-out. No five-hand-off chain. Same people, same standards, start to finish.

  • Unified project ownership
  • No vendor finger-pointing
  • Punch list resolution included
  • Post-occupancy follow-through
Why it matters

Same rigor.
Every project.

Whether your project is 5,000 square feet or 500,000, Project IQ runs the same way. Consistency is what makes outcomes predictable — and predictability is what makes a complex capital project something an owner can actually plan around.
