About
The Client's nuanced objectives and its Project are paramount; with End Users, Employees, and Customers squarely in the equation.
Frommer Project Management Services is a California-based commercial and industrial project management practice led by Carl J. Frommer. Carl brings over thirty years of leadership experience, including tenure as President & CEO of a multi-division construction and facility services firm and earlier service as Vice President of Operations leading design-build teams of 75+ employees. The practice is built exclusively around commercial, industrial, and retail operations—where schedule pressure, occupied environments, and budget accountability are mission critical.
From statewide service networks averaging hundreds of work orders per month to multi-site capital programs, the through-line is the same: protect the client’s interest, control cost, mitigate risk, and deliver for owners and operators across Southern California and beyond. Credentials include design-build delivery across 500+ retail bank branches—one proof of multi-site program scale, not the sole focus of the practice.

Approach
A practical operating system for commercial and industrial work—proven under real schedule and budget pressure.
Ambiguous scopes create change orders and finger-pointing. We lock requirements early and document decisions so every party works from the same plan.
Conceptual feasibility budgets and hard bids inform go/no-go decisions. Pre-lease site evaluations to vet for hidden costly existing conditions. Value engineering with design partners protects quality without surprise spend.
Occupied sites demand after-hours logistics, phased work, and zero tolerance for operational disruption. Schedules reflect the business, not just the jobsite.
Contracts, insurance, liens, waivers, and payment approvals are controlled systems—not paperwork afterthoughts. They protect capital and relationships.
