At Think Tank Telecommunications, construction is the centerpiece of our offerings. We have taken a different strategy than many other firms in our business, as our approach is to DO the physical construction rather than just manage it. This self-performing model makes us decidedly unique—in a sea of a look alike project management firms, Think Tank Telecommunications is the “self-performing” leader. We select our construction teams and manage them closely for maximum efficiency, maintaining the highest standards.
