Frequently Asked Questions
Program Management
In commercial real estate construction, program management oversees interconnected projects to meet strategic goals, like developing an office park portfolio for a large client. It handles high-level coordination, resource allocation, portfolio budgeting and broad risk mitigation from a headquarters view. For instance, it maintains process consistency and branding, with managers leading teams including project managers.
Project Management
Project management in commercial real estate covers a single development’s full lifecycle, from planning and feasibility to design, financing, permitting, execution and handover. It prioritizes on-time, on-budget delivery with quality, coordinating stakeholders, managing risks for contracts and schedules, and handling procurement. Often office-based with site visits, like developing a commercial project from site selection to certification.
Construction Management
Construction management focuses on a commercial project’s on-site building phase after planning and design. It involves supervising subcontractors, managing materials, expenses and timelines, ensuring safety and compliance, and resolving issues like delays. Site-based and operational, an example is overseeing a manufacturing building from foundation to inspections, reporting to the project manager.
We offer a full suite of services, including project planning, design coordination, contractor selection, construction oversight and move management.
Engage us as early as possible—ideally during the planning phase—to maximize value, reduce risk and ensure a seamless process.
Our fees are transparent and tailored to the scope and complexity of your project.
We have in-house experts and collaborate with best-in-class partners, but we do not act as the architect, engineer or general contractor of record.
We can advise on contract structure and manage the process, but contracts are typically held by the client.
