Owners’ needs are diverse, often requiring a broad range of services with a single point of responsibility. We are able to meet your needs through a combination of expertise that is both broad as well as deep in key areas. Our knowledge base is extensive, and it covers multiple subjects from real estate development, architecture, engineering, and construction; to investment, organizational improvement, systems thinking, and software integration. Knowledge of all these subjects enables us to provide a multi-faceted focus on your construction project. We put at your service the full gamut of tools required to make your construction project a success from a quality and financial perspective.

Following are some of the high quality services that we are able to provide:

1. Project delivery – our main Project Management service. Acting as the owner’s representative, we manage the construction project all the way from concept to commissioning and handover of the facility. Along the way, we provide expert advice to all members of the project team, with a special focus on providing you, the owner, with the right information and recommendations that will enable you to make the right decisions for your project and your business. We can even help you plan your office move!
2. Project advisory – there may be instances where you already have a team in place, and you want some help optimizing your project. We can provide advice on critical decisions related to the current project structure, budget, schedule, and progress on site. This way, you have someone looking exclusively after your interests, providing you with sound advice and recommendations to maximize the value earned from your investment.
3. Feasibility studies – you may have a project in mind, and want to figure out whether it will make money, but perhaps you don’t have all the elements you need to make a decision. We can help by filling in the gaps in the overall picture, with data and expert advice from within our company, as well as through our business partners and associates. Anything from market leasing information to cost consulting and value engineering for your facility, we can either provide it for you, or help you find it.
4. Constructability reviews – it is a well-known fact that easy-to-build facilities cost less and are easier to operate. In instances where you already have your facility designed, but you want to make sure it has been optimized for both cost and schedule, we can provide a full team of experts that will look at your design, and provide you with suggestions for how to make the construction easier. Once the design is optimized, you can go to the market for a General Contractor with the knowledge that you will get the best price for your facility.
5. Value engineering / value management reviews – regardless of how far the project has gone into the design, we can often find ways to maximize the value you get out of the facility. Surprisingly few people realize that value in the project is established at the design stage, and it is up to construction to maintain that value during field execution.
6. Project recovery and monitoring – projects always will have challenges. At times, the challenges can be too challenging for the existing team to manage, and they need someone with a fresh perspective to come in, evaluate the situation, and help implement a new strategy that addresses the issues effectively. We can help stabilize the schedule and contain costs, followed by a thorough review and identification of opportunities for recovery. If you engage us at the first sign of problems, we can help you recover most of the project value before it is completely eroded from the project.
7. Project reviews – you may have a good team in place already, but you just want a “sanity check” on what the team has done to date before you commit the full funds to your project. We can help by leading an external review of the project. We don’t look only at the design, but also at how the project is structured, whether the appropriate communications and protocols/procedures are in place, and whether the estimate and schedule are realistic. We flag areas of risk and provide the appropriate recommendations to mitigate their impact.
8. Project structuring – you could already have a design and construction team in place, but perhaps you are not sure how to lead the project, or what areas to focus on that will maximize the opportunity for success. We can evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the team, and provide you with a project structure that focuses on maximizing the use of the team strengths, while mitigating their weaknesses with the appropriate systems, processes and protocols.
9. Systems optimization – some clients have outgrown their systems and procedures. When the existing business processes get in the way of organizational performance, we can perform an external review of these processes, and help simplify, modify or completely replace with steps that are both effective and efficient.
10. Project controls – when you already have a great team in place, and you just need someone to look after the dollars and monitor the progress of the work. We can help by providing project controls (schedule, cost and performance measurement) that align with your processes, reporting methods and needs for accurate, up-to-date information on your portfolio of projects.
11. Miscellaneous – we can provide many other services related to real estate development and construction. Just ask!
