Hit the lease date. Every time.

Owner-side schedule and cost control for headquarters, core and shell and tenant fit-outs. When a lease expiry sits behind the schedule, you need to know in month two, not month ten, whether the date is real.

What is really at risk.

01

A lease expiry does not negotiate

Holdover rent, double occupancy and broken move plans start the day the schedule misses. The cost of a late floor is known in advance, and it is large.

02

Fit-out scope moves late

Trading floors, technology rooms and executive suites change as the business changes. Each change has a cost and a schedule impact that should be priced before it is approved.

03

Long-lead items hide in plain sight

Switchgear, UPS, raised floor and specialty glass can outrun the build. If nobody tracks them to the day, they quietly set the finish date.

Commercial

Where we add control.

  1. 01

    Corporate headquarters

    Multi-floor relocations with a move plan, decommissioning of the old space and a hard lease date.

  2. 02

    Trading floors and technology space

    Dense power, cooling and data infrastructure where procurement and commissioning drive the schedule.

  3. 03

    Core and shell office

    Speculative buildings where lender, leasing and construction dates all have to line up.

  4. 04

    Tenant improvements

    Fit-outs on occupied floors, sequenced and tracked so tenants move on the day they were promised.

How we control it here.

In practice · Financial Services Headquarters

Six floors and a lease that would not move.

A financial services firm was fitting out a six-floor headquarters, trading floor included, with a fixed lease expiry on its old space. As owner’s representative, we ran the integrated schedule, tracked every long-lead technology item to the move date and priced each change before approval. Leadership saw the real finish date every month, not the hoped-for one.

Questions owners ask us.

We already have a project manager. Why add controls?

Your project manager runs the day. We measure it: baseline, progress, float, cost and forecast. Together the two roles catch what either one misses alone.

Can you join a project that is already underway?

Yes. We start with a schedule and cost health check in the first weeks, reset a credible baseline if one is needed and begin monthly reporting from there.

How do you handle landlord and tenant work on the same floors?

Base building, landlord work and tenant fit-out go into one schedule with clear handoff dates, so neither side can quietly push the other.
