Services
Thomas Samuels Enterprises provides strong project leadership and support with depth of experience and continuity from inception to completion and acceptance of each client’s project.
TSE’s management approach is based on three proven strategies: a senior management commitment, a matrix organization, and a work breakdown structure methodology. A senior management commitment ensures both a single point of accountability and continuity in project delivery. A matrix organization, ensures access to team-wide resources including architects, engineers and specialty consultants as well as specialists in all required disciplines as needed. A work breakdown structure methodology allows individual work tasks to be tracked in terms of responsibility, time frame and status throughout the development process.
