ADAMS is an independent, objective consulting and program management firm exclusively focused on capital project planning and delivery for healthcare systems and the health sciences with over 20 years of experience.
From our corporate office in Rome, GA and regional offices in Baltimore, Birmingham, Cleveland, Dallas and Denver, our firm currently represents its national client base in over $5 billion dollars of healthcare and research facility development programs.
Independence and Objectivity
Exclusively focused on healthcare systems and health science centers, ADAMS has advanced the concept of independent, objective healthcare program management and owner representation to the industry standard. The complexity of planning, designing and constructing a new facility requires unbiased advice you can trust when making decisions of such vital importance. From project feasibility to contract compliance, ADAMS serves as an advocate and advisor utilizing a seamless approach through every step of the planning, design and construction delivery process.
ADAMS does not design, build, develop or manage healthcare properties, rather, our firm leverages years of expertise and relationships in those areas to provide our clients with excellence in project organization and leadership. In order to sustain its independence and objectivity, our firm does not work on a percentage of project cost basis, thus avoiding the otherwise obvious conflicts of interest.
Experience and Expertise
Our firm offers the full range of services necessary to cover negotiation, planning, design, preconstruction and construction phases of any project. Significant functions include management of professional services, selection and negotiation of contracts, scope definition and subsequent budget alignment, development and management of the Master Program Budget and Schedule and assessment and management of project risk factors.
