How the work is progressing
Planned against installed, area by area, from the same look-ahead the superintendents run. No surprises hidden in a percent complete.

A deadline is only as strong as the plan behind it.
Jacob Wiseman is a construction company built for complex, high-stakes projects. We bring construction management and project controls together so owners can see how the work is progressing, where the schedule is under pressure, and which decisions need to be made before they become expensive.
Plan vs FieldIllustrative project · live view
Milestone holding
An illustrative schedule: the field tracks the plan, falls behind during the envelope, a decision is flagged early, and the milestone holds.
Preconstruction through closeout
We 
plan around what crews can safely execute, 
coordinate trades around critical milestones, and 
keep clients informed when conditions change.
That discipline supports the work that matters most in the field.
- 01Safe executionWork planned around what crews can do safely, every shift, before it is scheduled.
- 02Quality workmanshipFirst work inspected before it scales, and every trade held to the same standard.
- 03AccountabilityFor what we commit to deliver: dates, cost and the handover itself.
Visibility
What the owner sees every week.
Construction management and project controls run as one team, so the report you read is the plan the field is building to.
02 · PressureIllustrative
Where the schedule is under pressure
The activities eating float, the trade handoffs running tight and the long-lead items that could still move a milestone.
03 · DecisionsIllustrative
Which decisions are due
Every open decision, its owner and the date it starts to cost money, with clear options for what to do next.
Emmanuel Ugbaja | Chief Executive Officer
What happens to the next crew if today’s work slips?
I’m Emmanuel Ugbaja, CEO of Jacob Wiseman. For more than a decade, I’ve worked in project controls, helping teams deliver complex construction and infrastructure projects where delays, cost changes, and missed handoffs can have serious consequences.
That experience shapes how I lead Jacob Wiseman. Before work starts, I want to know which approvals, materials, and trade handoffs could hold up the build. Once construction is underway, we compare the plan with what crews are seeing in the field and bring issues to the owner early, with clear options for what to do next.

Slide today’s work. Watch the crews behind it.
An illustrative five-crew sequence on one floor of a structure. Each crew carries its own float. Move the slider to see who absorbs the slip, who gets pushed, and when the owner needs a decision.

Projects
High stakes. Confidential by design.
Each profile covers the scope, the delivery challenge and our role. Client names and identifying locations stay private.
Trauma and Surgical Tower AdditionAn eleven-story trauma and surgical tower built against a hospital that never closed, with 24 operating rooms, a rooftop helipad and every tie-in made around live patient care.
Federal Mission Support CampusSix secure buildings on one campus: offices, a mission operations floor, labs and a central utility plant, built under accreditation rules with cleared crews and a fixed occupancy date.
Express Lanes Corridor ReconstructionSixteen miles of freeway rebuilt with new express lanes, 22 bridges and tolling gantries, while four lanes stayed open in each direction for the entire job.
Terminal Concourse ExpansionAn 18-gate concourse built airside next to active gates, with security, baggage and jet bridge tie-ins made overnight so no scheduled flight lost its gate.
High-Voltage Substation and Transmission UpgradeA new 500 kV substation and line upgrades to relieve a congested grid, built around outage windows the utility could grant only a few times a year.
Transit-Oriented Mixed-Use DistrictApartments, offices, retail, a hotel and public streets built around a rail station in overlapping phases, with each building handed over on its own date.
Engineering and Research ComplexWet labs, a structural high bay and vibration-sensitive research floors for a growing engineering college, sequenced so faculty moved in by department, not all at once.
High School Campus ReplacementA new comprehensive high school built beside the old one while 2,400 students kept attending class, then the old building demolished for fields over one summer.
Regional Emergency Operations and 911 CenterA hardened emergency operations floor and consolidated 911 dispatch center for several agencies, built to stay staffed and powered through the worst week of the year.What we do
