CONSTRUCTION PHASE MANAGEMENT INCLUDING JOB COST ACCOUNTING
Most of the money for a project is spent during construction and it is the period of highest risk. We begin construction phase planning the day design starts and utilize project control systems all through construction.

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PLANNING
Most clients tell us that how a building functions is as important as its design. Because we own and manage properties, we know how to address operations and maintenance issues during design and construction.

OWNER MOVE-IN AND CLOSE OUT PLANNING AND COORDINATION
Often neglected is the transition from construction to occupancy. This is as vital a process to plan carefully as any other phase and so must be incorporated in budgets and schedules from the beginning.
