We conduct in-house asset management and supervise third-party property management companies through data compilation and performance analytics to provide strategy, financial reporting, and market intelligence for each particular asset.

Once the project has a more accurate design and more information is available, our team can obtain actual prices that are provided by specialty contractors, sub-contractors and material suppliers for a more accurate cost outcome.
Pre-Construction Management
Preconstruction is an important phase of a project that connects the preliminary plans produced for the project and the on-site commencement of the construction. This phase enhances the initial project design intent into a concrete set of plans that assess the cost efficiency and quality of the project and identify and mitigate any potential risks that may arise.
Design and Build
We offer Design and Build services that are tailored to each client’s needs. Our design team helps develop the preliminary concept into a group of project drawings and specifications including design, materials and the means and methods of the construction process. Our team collaborates with architects, engineers, interior designers, and contractors.
The development of the design combines the creative design intent with the financial feasibility and the code compliance of the local municipality. Once the design has been created taking into consideration the concept, layout, and structure, we expand to create a detailed architectural set of drawings.
Once this is complete, the engineering process begins. Professionals in structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering ensure the building design is efficient and compliant. During this process, project specifications, materials, standards, and methods for the project’s construction are realized.
Additionally, the Interior design is an important aspect of the design phase. It creates functional, aesthetically pleasing indoor/outdoor environments that flow at ease with a focus on the occupant’s experience, comfort, and productivity within the space.
