Development works that have an impact on significant archaeological monuments and remains require focused risk assessment in advance of project commencement and careful, experienced project management during project realisation.  Where development impact gives rise for a need to undertake design alteration and/or archaeological excavation the project managers overseeing the work require a depth of experience and knowledge with both archaeological considerations and construction processes.

Margaret Gowen & Company has a proven track record in the management of projects requiring extensive pre-development archaeological excavation, in urban rural, wetland and other settings. The company has a significant, integrated professional knowledge base and its approach to archaeological project management has the following key characteristics:

• Comprehensive archeological evaluation and appraisal of site prior to project commencement
• Clear definition of issues and contingencies (including design alteration) for unforeseen but potentially arising issues
• Follow-through to effective project process management
• Excellent and active communications interface with development managers, engineers and architects
• Detailed, transparent cost tracking and resource management
• High quality technical presentation, publication of results, public relations material, lectures and community outreach where appropriate

The company’s project managers are backed up by the company’s in house archaeologists, financial managers, environmental specialists, surveyors and IT professionals, all of whom are part of the company's core staff.
