Pacific Teal LLC provides independent construction management consulting services to the building and engineering industry.

Mission Statement
To provide construction management services that exceeds the expectations of the client within the constraints of the budget and schedule.

Objective
To expand the client base with selected clients and projects that offer unique challenges.

Geographical Constraints
We are a ‘hands on, boots on the ground’ type of consultant.
Building site projects are known to be much harder to manage as the distance becomes greater.
Therefore…
Our clients are best services if the project is located within Southern California.

Please review our company biography [Curriculum Vitae] for a more complete description of our experience and services that we can provide.

You may want to specifically review the sections labeled ‘Construction Management’ and ‘Site work Construction Management’ for more detailed information.

The importance of the ‘Expert Witness’ section is the long-term benefit that has been gained from working in this very unique, and at times, hostile environment. We have had first hand exposure to the multitude of mistakes that other builders have made and more importantly how to prevent these mistakes from occurring under our management.

All of this information is available on our website at www.pacteal.com. This website also contains an extensive photo-gallery of some of our current and past projects. There is a very interesting aerial photo of the Greg Norman Golf Course at the Oakcrest project in Chino Hills.
