Index offers a variety of services to support planning, decision-making, and execution in each stage of a property's life cycle--construction, operation and maintenance, and end-of-life (or investment period). Index's unique brand of management consulting-based project management begins with communication aimed at determining how best to combine these services into the ideal project given their specific situation. At Index, "Project Management" does not mean simply managing the project's budget, schedule, and scope, but means offering trusted and objective professional feedback that ensures the project itself is properly aligned with the client's strategic, operational, and financial needs and best interests over the entire life cycle of the asset.
