We understand the needs and visions of the not-for-profit mindset. Let the wisdom of experience work for you. Whether we serve as owner’s representative for your development project, oversee design and construction or consult on a specific phase of your project, our mission is always to ensure your success thorough personalized attention, focus on detail and competent execution of the task at hand.
Market Research
Whatever you’re envisioning, you need to know if your hopes can stand up to the reality of the marketplace—now and into the future. You need projected trends, numbers, information on the competition. We’ll do the research and help you make sense of the results.
Financial Analysis
We excel in numbers crunching. More importantly, we excel in creative solutions to complex financial issues. We’ll run the numbers backwards and forwards to make sure that adequate funding is in place and that all loan and tax structures provide for a reasonable rate of return.
Fundraising
If the needed funds are not readily available, fundraising may provide an answer. We can recommend options and assist in selecting fundraising professionals to get the needed funds in place before you enter the formal financing process.
Feasibility Studies and Reports
The end result of the planning phase is a series of summaries and detailed reports that collect the salient facts into invaluable references and marketing tools. Nothing ensures the implementation phase of a vision more than a cohesive and clearly defined mission.
Master Planning
We can help ensure that your vision will stand up to the realities of zoning boards, planning commissions and financial institution requirements as well as your sense of good taste. Not only do we have vast experience in site plans, but we are urban planners as well, which means we can promise that your development will both compliment and comply with its surroundings.
Proposal Drafting and Evaluation
Experience is what makes the difference in drafting requests for proposals (RFPs) and requests for quotes (RFQs). We understand that you can only get the right responses if you ask the right questions. Our experience in drafting and responding to these types of requests ensures that you are operating with the right information. When the responses come in, we’ll help you read between the lines and assist in making valid comparisons in the selection process.
Building the Team
It is important that all members of the team, whether architects, contractors, financial institutions or additional staff share in a common vision. We assist in the selection process by exposing key compatibility issues and analyzing options.
