Managing construction is complex. Mismanaging it is costly. Whether you oversee a real estate portfolio, manage a commercial or multi-residential property, or lead the design of a complex build-out — the difference between a project that delivers and one that derails often comes down to who is managing execution in the field.
That is what PM Design & Construction, Inc. exists to do. We partner with asset managers protecting portfolio value, property managers coordinating tenant and capital improvement projects across commercial and multi-residential assets, and architecture firms that need a trusted construction manager to carry their vision through to delivery without the surprises.
In every engagement, we serve as your owner representative — the single voice in the field accountable solely to your interests. Most firms assign junior staff and rotate project managers mid-engagement. We don’t.
Every client works directly with Fern Murillo — a principal with more than 20 years of hands-on experience managing programs from kickoff to closeout across Class A commercial offices, multi-residential developments, industrial facilities, petroleum and energy infrastructure, airports, educational facilities, animal hospitals, and large-scale capital programs where precision and accountability are non-negotiable.
Fern Murillo has directly overseen construction and facility programs for Fortune 500 and S&P-listed corporations across financial services, energy, automotive, and retail — organizations where precision, accountability, and on-time delivery are essential.
That experience spans ground-up developments, major renovations, tenant improvements, retail rollouts, HVAC modernization, and large-scale multi-trade capital programs. When the stakes are high and execution cannot be delegated, owners, managers, and design teams turn to PM Design & Construction, Inc..
Headquartered in Wyoming with operations in Irvine.
Under Fern’s leadership, the firm provides elite Owner’s Authorized Representative (OAR) and consultancy services, bridging the gap between high-level corporate governance and on-the-ground project execution.
