From first plan to turnover.

Most projects move through six stages. Each closes with something you can review, so decisions are made with cost, schedule and approvals in view.

Six stages

The stage names stay the same on every project; the depth of each depends on the scope.

  1. Define scope and goals

    We review the property, goals, constraints and timing, and agree on what the project needs to achieve before design starts.

    A written scope and project brief

  2. Coordinate planning and design

    Designers, engineers and our estimators work together, so the design reflects real costs and site conditions.

    A coordinated design

  3. Budget, schedule and procurement

    We price the work, sequence it, and order long-lead materials and equipment early.

  4. Permits, agencies and utilities

    We prepare submittals and coordinate with local agencies and, where relevant, utilities. Review times are set by each agency.

    Submittals and agency reviews tracked

  5. Manage construction

    We manage trades, quality, safety and changes on site, and report progress on an agreed schedule.

    Regular reporting and documented decisions

  6. Complete turnover

    Final inspections, punch list and closeout documents, organized for the people who will run the property.

    Closeout documentation for operations

Permits, agencies and incentives are part of the scope.

We coordinate planning and permit submittals, required reviews with local agencies, utility requirements where relevant, and applications for rebates and incentives that may apply. Approval timing, utility capacity and program eligibility are set by each agency, utility and program.
