Moving complex projects from vision through execution.
Salt & Oak works for owners, investors, and communities — never the contractor. Twenty years of managing development and construction, applied to your project's budget, schedule, team, and risk.
Eight areas of work. One accountable advocate.
Tap a card to see what's delivered and go deeper.
Development Planning
Feasibility, site and program testing, due diligence, and the early read on whether a project pencils before real money is committed.
Deliverables: feasibility memo, program test fit, order-of-magnitude budget, risk register.
You walk away knowing whether to buy, build, or walk — before the land is under contract.
Real Estate Development ConsultingProject Strategy & Structuring
Delivery method, phasing, contracting approach, and team structure — decided deliberately rather than inherited from whoever showed up first.
Deliverables: delivery method recommendation, phasing plan, team org chart, contract matrix.
You walk away with a delivery structure that assigns risk on purpose instead of by default.
Construction Project ManagementPreconstruction Management
Budget development, estimate reconciliation, scope of record, procurement strategy, and the decision log that keeps all three aligned.
Deliverables: reconciled budget, scope of record, buyout plan, decision log.
You walk away with a budget you can defend and a scope nobody can quietly reinterpret later.
Preconstruction ManagementDesign Coordination
Managing architects, engineers, and consultants against the owner's brief — so design advances toward a buildable, budgeted result.
Deliverables: owner's brief, design review comments, consultant scope alignment.
You walk away with drawings that match the budget — not a redesign after the first bid.
Construction ConsultingConstruction Oversight
Pay application and change order review, schedule interrogation, site walks, quality benchmarks, and accountability held on your behalf.
Deliverables: monthly owner report, pay app review, change order log, punch oversight.
You walk away paying for work actually in place, with change orders challenged before they're approved.
Construction ConsultingAmenity & Community Development
Clubhouses, pools, trails, and shared facilities for communities and associations — from concept and funding through turnover.
Deliverables: concept budget, board-ready presentations, funding schedule, turnover package.
Your board walks away with a defensible process and documentation that survives the annual meeting.
HOA & Community ProjectsProject Controls & Systems
Budget structures, cost tracking, reporting cadence, risk registers, and documentation that holds up with lenders, boards, and partners.
Deliverables: cost control workbook, reporting template, risk register, document standard.
You walk away with reporting that answers lender and partner questions before they're asked.
Investor & Capital AdvisoryOwner Representation
One accountable advocate across the full lifecycle — sitting on your side of the table from first sketch to final keys.
Deliverables: single point of accountability across every stage and every consultant.
You walk away with one person accountable for the outcome across every stage and consultant.
