SERVICES

Construction and Facilities Budgeting, Forecasting, and Management

CREC Construction's finance department focuses solely on construction, utilizing budget forecasting tools, document management systems, invoice review protocols, grant reimbursement tracking, and proper closeout procedures. It is difficult for volunteers on a school building committee to get consistent daily reporting on the progress of construction on a large capital project. As a clerk of the works, CREC represents the interest of clients to ensure that high quality standards and superior workmanship are being met on your construction project.

SCHOOLS

Farmington Valley Diagnostic Center

CREC collaborates with twelve Farmington Valley school districts to provide an interim educational setting for students who are experiencing significant difficulties in their own school or transitioning from one educational setting to another. Students are provided with a fresh start in a new setting and the opportunity to better understand their own strengths while developing skills that will enable them to be more successful within their schools, families and communities. Farmington Valley member districts have priority for placements. Other districts can seek referrals for placement dependent on availability.
