About CCM

THE CONSULTANT WHO HAS
DONE THE WORK.

Most project management firms manage from the conference room. Carolina Consulting & Management was built on the plant floor.

Founded by Jonathan T. Love — a licensed electrical contractor with over a decade of industrial equipment, machinery, and systems experience — CCM brings a combination that's rare in consulting: hands-on technical depth, PMI-certified methodology, and military-honed leadership at scale.

As co-owner of an active electrical contracting firm with 13+ years of military service and leadership at scale, Jonathan understands what it takes to deliver when schedules are tight, conditions are imperfect, and the stakes are real. That discipline defines every CCM engagement.

Focused on industrial and commercial project delivery — where technical depth and PM discipline decide whether a project makes money or loses it.

Full-cycle management of industrial projects — equipment installations, facility upgrades, and plant improvements. Scope, schedule, budget, and subcontractor coordination from kickoff through closeout.

Independent oversight on behalf of facility owners. Contractor vetting, RFI and submittal management, progress verification, and change-order review — protecting your investment at every phase.

Project management support for commercial construction and renovation — schedule control, daily reporting, vendor coordination, and delivery assurance for owners and GCs.
Technical
Electrical Systems Consulting
Licensed SC & NC contractor expertise applied to electrical scope review, install planning, NEC compliance, commissioning support, and troubleshooting protocols.
Technical
Equipment Install & Commissioning Oversight
Machinery procurement coordination, installation management, and commissioning oversight for manufacturing and processing facilities — grounded in 11+ years of doing this work firsthand.
Advisory
Risk & Schedule Management
Critical-path scheduling, risk registers, and mitigation planning for projects where delay carries real cost. Structured, PMI-based, and built for how industrial work actually unfolds.

How We Work

A DISCIPLINED PATH
FROM SCOPE TO CLOSEOUT.

Every engagement follows a clear, structured process — so you always know where your project stands and what happens next.

01
Assess
Site walk, scope review, and stakeholder alignment. We establish what success looks like and where the risks live before anything is committed.
02
Plan
Work breakdown, critical-path schedule, budget baseline, and risk register — built with PMI methodology and field-tested judgment.
03
Execute
Active management of contractors, vendors, and schedule. Clear reporting, fast issue resolution, and accountability at every milestone.
04
Deliver
Commissioning support, punch-list closeout, documentation handover, and lessons-learned review. Done means done.

The CCM Difference

WHY OWNERS
CHOOSE CCM.

Anyone can run a schedule. Very few project managers can walk your floor, speak the language of the trades, and hold contractors accountable on the technical details — mechanical, electrical, structural, or operational. That's the difference.

  • ▸
    Technical Credibility
    CCM comes from the trades — licensed, field-experienced, and fluent in how industrial work actually gets built. Scope gaps, change-order padding, and quality shortcuts get caught, because we know what the work should look like across every discipline on site.
  • ▸
    Formal PM Discipline
    PMP certification and a master's degree in project management mean your project runs on proven methodology — not improvisation.
  • ▸
    Leadership Under Pressure
    A decade-plus of military leadership at scale translates into calm, decisive management when projects hit the inevitable rough patch.
  • ▸
    Senior-Level Accountability
    Every CCM engagement is led with ownership-level commitment. Our clients work directly with experienced, credentialed project managers — and every PM who represents CCM carries the same standard of discipline and accountability.
  • ▸
    We Strengthen Your Team — Not Replace It
    If you already have project or program managers, CCM integrates as an extension of your team — adding capacity, technical depth, and field-level oversight so your people can focus on what they do best.
