Serving Clients / Developers

Real estate development is about timing. It is about knowing the markets and undertaking the right building in the right place at the right time. Our success in Development Advisory is founded on a grasp of both financial and technical issues – a dual approach unique in the engineering industry.

Understanding the Developer’s Mindset

Our development skill melds the financial with the physical – we understand the dollars and the roof decks. We understand the developer’s mindset. We are able to collaborate with the client in gauging 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. Our Case Studies of successful collaborations with developers reflects this unique combination of skills.

Always mindful of the Real Estate Life Cycle, we know that a downtime in the real estate cycle can spell opportunity – we have an equally deep 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.

A Global Vision with Local Know-How

We have in-house knowledge of local code and zoning hurdles and have worked collaboratively with permitting attorneys on many projects. Our combined technical and financial roles provide the crucial strategic information a client needs to make key decisions.
