Cogence Alliance has a singular focus: Improve project outcomes through collaborative delivery methods.
The Challenge
The design and construction industry is facing increased demands to produce greater value, higher quality, and faster project delivery.
At the same time, it lags in productivity gains, is often contentious, and frequently fails to delivery successful outcomes. Complex, fragmented teams are easily driven by self-interest rather than shared purpose.
We believe there’s a better way.
Our Vision
Our goal is to transform the design and construction industry. We are advocates for:
- A collaborative project culture that leverages each team member’s strengths.
- Reduced risks and improved outcomes for everyone.
- Projects that are financially successful and enjoyable.
Through Cogence, we share resources and develop new lines of thought to move our industry forward.
Our Name
“Cogence” comes from a Latin word meaning “drive together” or “thinking that is well organized.” It embodies the collaborative spirit and thoughtful approach we hope to foster.
Cogence Partner Core Values
