Fee Development and Program Management Services

The Company manages real estate development programs, exclusively on behalf of our clients, who are usually the owners. We manage all aspects of concept development, feasibility analysis, pre-design budgeting and construction programming, which differs from the design programming services of design consultants.  In concert with the various consultants involved, we help manage the preparation of a delivery strategy and plan, as well as design and construction documents to promote budget adherence and constructability, and assist with site procurement, construction. occupancy, commissioning and close-out. We also consult on all aspects of time and cost control in the delivery of major construction programs.

Controlling the time for implementation and delivery costs in construction programs, from pre-design through move-in, is the essence of our development and program management services. We do this while maintaining our clients’ quality and functional requirements and managing the associated risk. We usually accomplish our client’s goals by becoming an extension of the client’s organization for the duration of the program; providing experienced personnel throughout all the various technical disciplines needed to assure that goals and objectives are properly met.
