Architectural Services

Efficiency plays an important role in minimizing overhead costs.  To that end, having a realistic understanding of space needs is paramount. Corporate Real Estate Consultants provides a complete line of architectural services ranging from preliminary space planning to design-build construction drawings.  Creating a program, which incorporates every element of the business operation, allows you to identify ways to streamline your business today, while planning for growth in the future.  Not every location offers the same efficiencies in design as another, so a well designed plan, placed into multiple locations, can help determine the best real estate option for your unique business requirement.

Construction Management

Monitoring and controlling the construction process is an extremely time consuming endeavor, necessitated, however, by the amount of capital at risk.  Accepting an allowance from a landlord, without knowing the actual cost to construct, creates a financial exposure that is not easily mitigated.  Without qualified planning and management, the amount of time and anticipated cost of any construction project can, and usually will, escalate beyond acceptable limits. Corporate Real Estate Consultants, when brought in at the earliest stage of a project, will ensure achievable expectations by reviewing design plans and construction documents to identify opportunities for value engineering, prepare and control general contractor bidding and contracts, analyze construction proposals and negotiate contracts, create and monitor project schedules and budgets, conduct punch list inspections with architects and users, and review and approve payment requests from contractors, consultants and vendors.
