Texas Roots
Continuous Growth

Established in 1996, AG|CM was born, bred and based in Texas. After years of working on the contractor side and observing the interactions with architects and engineers, founder Derwood Anderson understood that owners truly need an advocate who worked solely for their interests. The firm quickly grew by managing construction projects for educational institutions, cities, counties, industrial and commercial entities that do not have the resources to successfully administer complex projects internally.

With a reputation of working for the client’s best interests and finding ways to resolve even the toughest of challenges in the dynamic construction industry, AG|CM’s success is directly attributable to the guiding principle of its founder: take care of employees and they will take care of the clients. AG|CM’s “Employees First, Family Focused” cultural mantra attracts, develops, and retains high quality professionals that serve clients’ needs.

AG|CM’s core strength is our knowledgeable staff who keep our clients coming back time and time again. We are a blended group of professionals who have experience as Owner representatives, contractors, estimators, inspectors, architects and engineers. Our staff must stay up-to-date on processes, procedures, and best practices as it relates to Construction Project/Program Management services.

To do that, we are members of Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) and use its certification programs, Certified Construction Manager (CCM) and Construction Manager in Training (CMIT), to train our personnel. AG|CM field staff acquire Construction Quality Management for Contractors (CQM-C) certification from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Our employees are also members of or hold certifications from Project Management Institute (PMI), American Institute of Architects (AIA), American Society of Professional Estimators (ASPE), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE), and the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
