Protect the pro forma.

Cost estimating, scheduling and owner’s representation for speculative office, retail, hotels and build-to-suit projects. We give developers and capital partners numbers they can underwrite.

What is really at risk.

01

Capital needs certainty

Lenders and equity partners underwrite a cost and a date. A credible estimate early is what gets the deal closed.

02

Carry never stops

Interest accrues every month the building is not earning. Speed to certificate of occupancy is real money.

03

Tenants arrive mid-build

Leases are signed while the structure rises. Tenant work has to fit the base building schedule without derailing it.

Commercial Development

Where we add control.

  1. 01

    Speculative office

    Core and shell buildings where leasing and construction dates must align.

  2. 02

    Retail and lifestyle centers

    Anchor and inline space with tenant opening dates written into leases.

  3. 03

    Hotels

    Brand-standard properties where the opening date drives revenue.

  4. 04

    Build-to-suit

    Buildings around a committed tenant with a fixed occupancy date.

In practice · Mixed-Use Tower

Offices and retail on one shared clock.

The office and retail floors of a 42-story mixed-use tower shared structure, systems and a single schedule with the homes above. Our integrated controls gave each owner its own cost and schedule view from one data set, so commercial leasing dates were planned against the real finish, not a hopeful one.

Questions owners ask us.

How early can you give us a reliable number?

We can estimate from concept with clear allowances and assumptions, then tighten the number as design develops so closing holds no surprises.

Can your reporting support our lender and equity partners?

Yes. Our cost-to-complete and schedule reports are built to be read by capital partners and their reviewers.

Can tenant work run alongside base building work?

We plan them in one schedule with clear handoff dates, so tenant work starts as early as the building allows.
