From first sketch to final keys.
A clear process. No surprises. Six stages, one advocate — from the first pro-forma pressure test to the day you take the keys.
- 2–4 weeks
Feasibility
Site diligence, market read, and a pro-forma pressure test before capital is committed. We tell you what's real, what's risky, and what to walk from.
Go / no-go with numbers - 8–16 weeks
Design & Preconstruction
Assemble the right architect, engineers, and consultants. Align scope, budget, and schedule so the drawings and the money agree.
Drawings that price honestly - 6–12 weeks
Permitting & Procurement
Navigate coastal codes, HOA reviews, and municipal approvals. Competitively bid the work, vet the trades, and lock terms that protect you.
Permits in hand, trades locked - Project-dependent
Construction
Weekly OAC meetings, pay-app and change-order review, and on-site walks. We keep the schedule honest and decisions ahead of damage.
Budget & schedule defended - 2–6 weeks
Commissioning
Systems tested, punchlist driven to zero, warranties documented. The building doesn't just look done — it works.
Punchlist to zero - 1–3 weeks
Closeout
