PHOENIXChermack Consulting Group, a Scottsdale-based, full-service project management firm representing global clients throughout the Southwest, announced today its agreement to merge with Keyser to lead Keyser's rapidly growing project management division.

Founder Jonathan Keyser tells GlobeSt.com, “Our company continues to grow rapidly and the demand for our services increases. Tom Chermack and I have been in talks for about six months; we need leaders to help build our team. Tom's firm and his team have a proven track record. We needed the resources of the team, but also the leadership.”

Chermack, founder of CCG, will head up the project management division. “We will provide full service support working with transaction brokers, advancing the process for a seamless transaction. Our approach has always been to focus as much on the people we serve as the 'sticks and bricks.' The parallel that exists between CCG's and Keyser's core principles creates the perfect platform for establishing a dominant project management team that will continue to provide unmatched client representation across the globe.”

Since its inception, CCG has represented a varied list of clients spanning multiple arenas—commercial office, industrial, manufacturing, education, retail, religious/worship, and multi-family housing—totaling more than $120 million in managed services.

“It's critical that the tenant has their own representation,” says Keyser. “And this is a very important skill set, crucial for our national and international growth. Obviously the team will be in place throughout negotiations, but when negotiations are done, someone needs to see to the client's needs—from the design, to the build-out, to the move-in. This protects the needs of the tenants. It's one of our fastest growing divisions and there are very few in Arizona with these skills.”

The newly combined division of Keyser will operate under the Keyser brand, and has plans for significant local and regional growth in the coming years. Tom Chermack will lead the division within Keyser and represent the service line on Keyser's Executive Advisory Committee.

“We are very excited to welcome the team from Chermack Consulting Group to Keyser," says Keyser. “Culturally, they are a perfect fit, and their deep experience and expertise across each of our industry verticals further bolsters Keyser's capabilities. With this merger, we now have the pieces in place to start to scale our project management services into the cutting edge, nationally dominant, best-in-class project management division."
