Project Management
The Challenge of addressing the need to modify or develop real estate, is often best served by more than just a "licensed contractor". The entire process from informed conception, budgeting, planning and finally implementation is aided by the kind of project management or project engineering that we offer.The methodology we use begins with integrating strategic planning, architectural design, engineering configurations, finding a match for budget and expectations, acquiring the local entitlements and finally engaging the right people to implement the work. We then monitor daily to secure our goal… A quality "on time on budget" finished product. We manage the process proactively, keeping in mind our trust to meet the owner’s objectives. Using the PM model is a slightly different approach that enables us to consistently get the results we have seen.

COMMENTS FROM PAST PROJECTS:
"First and foremost, Benjamin is a great guy and a pleasure to work with. Having done three different tenant improvement jobs with him, it's clear he has an uncanny ability to get the job done well, incredibly fast, and at a reasonable price. I would certainly recommend Benjamin to anyone looking for a project manager". ---Tim V, NHI

Commercial Jobs, Tenant Improvements: TIs are fast moving affairs. Rent and lost opportunities mount when a leased space is empty or in for permits and design or being worked on. It needs to be done. Leasors might grant a month or two free rent, but there is no time to waster. We often design, do plans and procure permits to launch Tentant Improvement projects in an accelerated and timely manner. This one was in busy downtown Sausalito.
