Construction and Development Services
Construction Management
Construction Management is a professional service that provides a project's Owner with effective management of the project's schedule, cost control, quality assurance/quality control, scope of work and functionality.
CM is compatible with all project delivery methods and CM's utilize industry-standard practices to successfully deliver the Owner's on schedule and within the project's budget. CM is frequently employed by Owner's when they have already previously engaged with various design consultants, typically Architects and/or Civil Engineers and the project is now ready to move into the construction phase.
Owners Representation
An Owner's Representative (Owner's Rep) is a hired professional or firm that acts as the Owner's advocate, managing and overseeing a construction or development project from conception to final completion, ensuring it aligns with the Owner's vision, goals, budget and schedule.
Owner's Reps often handle complex tasks like team selection/solicitation, design review, contract bidding/negotiation, and risk management, especially when the Owner lacks the time or expertise. They serve as an unbiased fiduciary, protecting the Owner's best interests and keeping the project on track, acting like a "quarterback" for the entire development process.
Development Services
From time to time, real estate end-users, tenants and or owner-occupiers determine that their commercial facility needs have changed or need to be expanded or grown in order to suit the needs of their clients or other business demands. Yet many companies do not have the staff or internal expertise to program their square-footage requirements, identify sites that will meet their needs, have never conducted a site search, due diligence, nor completed a site/land acquisition transaction.
We have guided and advised many clients over the years from the very earliest stages of defining their facility program requirements, all the way through site acquisition, site and building design, debt and equity financing, permitting, bidding, contract negotiation and culminating with the Substantial/Final Completion of their brand-new business facility.
Preconstruction Services
Frequently, our Clients need front end assistance with a new commercial facility requirement, and they do not have existing relationships with Property Condition Assessment firms, Environmental/HAZMAT firms, Real Estate Attorneys (entitlements, etc), Land Planners, Civil Engineers, Architects. When this happens, our Clients call upon us to help them identify appropriate and professional subject matter experts in these various fields and other specialty consultants as well.
Our task and goal is to help our Client assemble the premier Pre-Construction team specific to their project goals and desired outcomes. Once Pre-Construction is successfully navigated, we typically continue on behalf of our Clients through the construction phase of the project all the way to Final Completion and Close-out.
Fee Development
Occasionally an Owner/Client comes to us with a full-programmed facility requirement for their commercial business facility needs, generally in the form of a Build-to-Suit (BTS). Generally speaking, the two most common scenarios are when we own the "dirt" or the Owner/Client already owns the "dirt" and they need us to function as their Fee Developer in order to successfully deliver the design, permitting and construction of their BTS project.
Financing models vary from client to client and project to project on BTS projects where we are tasked to be the Fee Developer, and we have experience in all of the various financing structures/models that our Owner/Clients prefer to utilize.
Design-Build
Integrated Project Delivery (Design-Build) via one project team direct to the Owner, versus the design-team being separate from the construction-team, and both still being contracted directly to the Owner. Simply put, does the Owner want to retain some partial risk associated with the design (site/civil, architectural, structural, MEP and landscape architecture), or would the Owner prefer to integrate the design, and thereby, the risk associated with the design into the Design-Builder's contract.
Essentially, the design consultants are organized as "subcontractors" to the commercial construction company that is functioning as the Design-Builder. For our Owners/Clients that prefer and integrated project delivery via Design-Build, we are well-versed and very experienced with this means of delivering commercial facility projects as a primary means of mitigating the Owner's design-related risk.
