Construction Management

On-Site Energy Construction Management

Independent Power Producers (IPPs), developers, and asset owners count on Core Development Group for efficient construction management of large-scale solar, battery storage, onsite generation, microgrid, and electrical infrastructure projects.

Onsite construction management for energy projects involves on-the-ground field oversight, safety and environmental compliance, and schedule and cost/budget controls. Key focus areas include pre-construction planning, subcontractor coordination, progress tracking, online Procore updates, site activities, monitoring milestones, managing work quality, and final commissioning.

Our construction management services help improve owner oversight, reduce change orders, manage project delivery, and support schedule and budget requirements. With extensive construction experience, hands-on field coordination, and strong startup and commissioning capabilities, Core Development Group helps manage large-scale energy infrastructure projects nationwide while keeping project teams aligned from construction through closeout.

4 Phases of EPC Project Delivery

Core Development Group provides project-specific Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) and construction management services tailored to each client engagement. Our team helps manage project delivery from initial assessment through commissioning, closeout, and optional operations and maintenance support.

  1. Planning & Assessment

    • Define project objectives, operating requirements, and scope
    • Conduct site assessments and feasibility studies
    • Evaluate site conditions, utility interconnection, and preliminary system requirements

  2. Engineering & Procurement

    • Prepare project-specific engineering and permit-ready drawings
    • Manage equipment selection, procurement, vendors, and material delivery
    • Support permitting and compliance requirements

  3. Construction Management

    • Manage subcontractors and field activities
    • Oversee civil, mechanical, and electrical scopes
    • Track schedule, budget, scope, and project progress.

  4. Commissioning, Closeout & O&M Support

    • Manage system startup, testing, and commissioning
    • Complete closeout documentation and support the transition to operations
    • Provide tailored operations, maintenance, and monitoring services when included in the project scope

Project Permitting

Securing local and state-level permits can be challenging and time-consuming. We have experience working across utility areas throughout the United States and navigating the permitting, environmental, regulatory, entitlement, assessment, and study requirements that help determine whether a project can move forward. By engaging with regulators and project stakeholders early, we apply our engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) expertise to create a clearer path through the permitting process.

Project Interconnection

Creating an effective interconnection strategy is essential for large-scale energy projects. Core Development Group helps streamline the grid interconnection process for distributed generation and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects, including coordination with the point of interconnection (POI). Our team understands interconnection requirements across the United States and aligns utility coordination with the broader construction and development schedule.

Independent power producers (IPPs) and energy asset owners can customize EPC services needed and construction management scopes by identifying customized needs or scope of work. This unique flexibility allows asset owners to retain control over self-performed tasks while outsourcing specialized risks. Customized project scopes of work provide IPPs with the benefit of project cost efficiency by eliminating duplicate management fees on scopes the IPP executes internally.
