GREYHAWK was hired by the NJ Schools Development Authority for the new Rose M. Lopez Elementary School on Seaman Avenue in Perth Amboy to provide design-build construction management services including design, submittal and shop drawing and schedule reviews for compliance with the new State design-build performance specifications, design and materials standards, and the State’s bridging documents; construction services; and post-construction services.
