SPECIAL PROJECTS

Special Projects bridges the gap between Advisory and Development Management providing a deeper analysis of development and construction activities on a customized basis. This work is often brought about by a distressed condition within a project and solutions range from direct oversight of the development team to resolving a specific design or construction challenge. We deploy a nimble, collaborative strategy to assist with special issues related to pre-construction, closeout or any phase in between.

SPD Advisory Group

SPD Advisory Group provides comprehensive evaluation of design and construction risk for complex real estate projects, during pre-development and once construction is underway. The majority of our clients are real estate investors who rely on our deep experience in all aspects of design, project management and development to vet the specifics of a project as if it were our own. We advise on potential challenges and recommend strategies to mitigate exposure at all stages of development, whether at the preliminary stages of design, during construction or towards the completion of a project.
