Development & Construction

Evaluate parcels for development: zoning (by-right vs. variance/rezoning required), environmental Phase I/II findings, geotechnical reports, utility capacity, traffic impact, and entitlement risk. Build pro forma models: land cost, hard costs (per SF by construction type), soft costs (architecture, engineering, permits, legal, financing), absorption timeline, and target returns (IRR, equity multiple, cash-on-cash). Compare highest-and-best-use scenarios: multifamily vs. mixed-use vs. retail, 4-story wood-frame vs. 8-story concrete, surface parking vs. structured.

Manage active construction: schedule tracking (CPM/Gantt), budget vs. actual cost monitoring, change order evaluation, draw request processing (verify work-in-place before releasing funds), lien waiver collection, substantial completion inspection, and punch list management. Coordinate between owner, architect, GC, subs, lender inspector, and title company. For larger projects, manage multiple phases, value engineering decisions, and construction loan compliance (covenant tracking, interest reserve monitoring).
