Expertise / Development Advisory
Our success in Development Advisory Services is founded on a grasp of both financial and technical issues that is unique in the engineering industry. We’re numbers guys and plumber guys; we are able to collaborate with the client in gauging the expectations of the marketplace, while also assessing the physical conditions of the site and any improvements on it. We understand the big picture while keeping a firm grasp on the minutest detail. The array of our Development Advisory clients, as exemplified in our Case Studies, is as equally comprehensive – real estate developers, banks, architects, educational institutions and government entities.
Knowledge in Service of a Vision
A downtime in the real estate cycle can spell opportunity – we have an intimate understanding of current construction market trends, of material supply chains and when is the most advantageous time to contract for services and acquire materials. Our unique dual financial/technical mindset is brought to bear at the very outset, even before a single drawing is produced:
- Coordinating codes and development permits
- Assembling and managing a design team
- Scheduling and cost estimation
A Global Vision with Local Know-How
We have in-house knowledge of local code and zoning hurdles through out Code Consulting practice. Our combined technical and financial roles provide the crucial strategic information a client needs to make key decisions. Our experience in Development Advisory ranges from commercial office buildings and industrial parks to historical rehabilitations, retail centers and hotels. Once a development is given the green light, we offer a seamless transition into the Project Management role.
