RMS Project Management delivers professional Construction Management services that help owners successfully plan, coordinate, and complete construction projects with confidence. Our team provides expert Owner Representation, Program Management, and Project Management for commercial, healthcare, institutional, and specialty developments. From pre-construction planning to final closeout, we focus on budget control, schedule management, quality assurance, and risk mitigation to keep projects on track. We work closely with owners, architects, engineers, and contractors to improve communication, streamline decision-making, and resolve challenges before they affect progress. Every project is managed with transparency, accountability, and attention to detail, ensuring your goals remain the top priority. Whether you’re overseeing a single development or a complex capital program, RMS Project Management delivers practical solutions that improve efficiency, reduce risk, and support successful project outcomes from start to finish.
RMS Project Management is built as a senior-led advisory bench rather than a large staffed office. Founder and president Russ McDaniel heads a compact leadership group that includes a vice president and director of operations and senior project managers, working from 7700 Irvine Center Drive in Irvine. The firm’s pitch is that owners get experienced construction leaders assigned directly to the assignment, not a layer of junior staff, and the published team page reflects that shape.
What sets the scope apart is how far past construction the service list runs. Alongside estimating, scheduling and field oversight, RMS publishes offerings that belong to real estate and risk practices: lease strategy and negotiation support covering tenant improvement allowances and escalations, purchase and sale advisory for medical office, clinic and ambulatory surgery assets, hold-sell analyses and refinance underwriting, builder’s risk policy placement, workers’ compensation coordination, and project risk registers mapped against insurance policy coverage. Owners hiring the firm are engaging a capital advisor alongside a construction manager.
Healthcare technical depth
The healthcare side of the catalogue is unusually granular. It covers HIPAA-sensitive space planning, EMR build coordination down to room, role and device mapping, specialty design coordination for MRI, PET, LINAC and USP 797 and 800 compounding suites, radiation safety program setup, infection prevention validation across pressure, filtration and clean-dirty separation, and seismic bracing audits for non-structural HCAI work. Licensing and accreditation readiness, including mock surveys, is handled as its own workstream.
Turnover is treated the same way. The firm lists enhanced commissioning, life safety systems testing, testing and balancing oversight, water systems commissioning with a Legionella risk program, digital twin asset registry handover into a CMMS, and operations and maintenance manuals produced multilingually where a facility needs it.
The completed work published by the firm is broader than healthcare alone: the Paley Restaurant, NeueHouse, Inspire on Earll, the Malibu Beach Inn renovation and the Desert Hot Springs Public Library span hospitality, workplace, residential and civic buildings.
On conduct, RMS states a plain rule for itself. Manage every project as if the capital were its own, surface issues early, and present owners with clear options rather than surprises. The firm offers a free quote as a starting point for new assignments.
