Profile
Empire Projects Florida, Inc. is a project management company serving the design and construction
industries. Clients include the private real estate industry (both tenants
and landlords), the public sector (local, state and federal government), and
institutional clients (universities, hospitals, and non-profits). The
company prides itself on the "EPI Difference" --- the way
we differentiate ourselves from our competition --- highlighted as follows :
Multidisciplinary Approach
The EPI Team is a multi-disciplinary team,
which includes architects, engineers, and contractors. This admixture --- of
all of the relevant disciplines in the design and construction process ---
creates a more pragmatic, "real world" approach to getting
projects designed and built according to the Client's needs.
Technical
and Business Expertise
Management of EPI is composed of
successful business people within the design and construction industries.
Every member of the EPI Management Team has owned and operated a successful
design and/or construction business. Does this make EPI more in tune with
our clients, who are themselves successful owners and/or managers ? Yes it
does.
Depth
of Management Team
Many project management companies are
owned and run by a single
owner, someone with experience generally in one area (say construction).
Below that single owner --- when there are additional staff in the company
--- is a group of part and full time consultants who often come and go on
the same project. EPI is set up very differently. To begin with, the
Management Team includes (11) highly successful business people from the
design and construction industries. Each EPI project is assigned a Project
Principal (from the Management team), as well as a Project
Manager, reporting to the Project Principal, as well as a Site
Manager, where full time site representation is required by the
Client.
Systematic
Approach
EPI offers a systematic approach to
Project Management. Written policies and procedures --- built up over years,
focused on quality control and Client needs --- guide the EPI approach on
all projects, setting a uniform standard that all EPI Project services must
live up to.
Published
Ethical Standards
Long overdue in the industry, EPI
publishes and enforces a strict code of ethics on all projects. EPI team
members are independent of all manufacturers, designers, vendors, and
contractors. EPI team members are not permitted to accept any gifts,
"not even lunch".
