Inside a True $700K+ Win: How Koa Project Management Helped a Client Save Big 

At Koa Project Management, we leverage decades of industry expertise to guide clients through smart procurement decisions for their construction projects. Our process includes thorough assessments of risks, costs, and liabilities related to purchasing and supplying materials through contractors, ensuring every dollar is strategically allocated. 

On one recent project, a client planned to purchase tile materials independently, which accounted for nearly 5% of the total project cost. After reviewing the supplier’s quote, the KPM team collaborated directly with the tile contractor to explore alternative options and cost-saving opportunities. 

By leveraging the contractor’s global purchasing network, we uncovered a significant advantage. The contractor secured the same tile materials from a supplier in Vietnam at nearly 50% less than the client’s original quote. This strategic approach resulted in over $711,000 in savings, fully covering KPM’s project management fee and delivering additional value to the client.
