Pre-Development Services
1. Initial Due Diligence
Our team begins by establishing the land’s dimensions, setbacks, and topography to fully understand the site’s potential. We conduct feasibility and parking studies to evaluate capacity, assemble the right design and engineering partners, and engage legal counsel to identify regulatory challenges. This step lays the groundwork for informed decision-making, helping to uncover risks early, clarify opportunities, and build a solid foundation for the project’s financial and design direction.
2. Proforma/Budget Development
We develop a preliminary financial model and establish the project’s baseline budget by aligning assumptions with survey data, design inputs, and legal requirements. This step provides a clear picture of project feasibility, ensures financial expectations are realistic, and creates a solid framework for decision-making as the project advances.
3. Zoning/Pre-Application/Entitlement Prep
We conduct preliminary meetings with planning staff, clarify zoning requirements, permits, and the overall approval process, and guide the design team in preparing a complete Site Plan Approval package. This ensures the application is thorough, accurate, and positioned for a successful review.
4. Awaiting Planning Board Hearing
We closely monitor the timeline leading up to the hearing, coordinate with stakeholders, and prepare all necessary materials to ensure a clear and effective presentation to the planning board.
5. Resolution Compliance
We address board and agency conditions tied to project approval, refining design and documentation to meet all requirements and ensuring full compliance for a seamless transition into pre-construction.
Pre-Construction Services
1. Final Design/Construction Documents
Our architects and engineers translate concepts into build-ready plans and prepare complete drawing sets for permit submission. This stage ensures all technical details are resolved, setting the foundation for a smooth construction start.
2. Bid & Procurement
We distribute construction documents to prequalified subcontractors, gather and review pricing, and confirm scopes of work. This process ensures competitive pricing, clear scope alignment, and the selection of the right partners for project success.
3. Permitting & Final Approvals
We manage submissions of construction documents to municipal building departments and file required applications with agencies such as Soil Conservation, County, NJDEP, DOT, and utilities. Our team drives the process to secure all permits and approvals needed for construction to begin.
4. Preliminary Scheduling & Logistics
We develop an initial project schedule outlining anticipated completion dates and key milestones while setting construction expectations. This step provides a roadmap for coordination and accountability throughout the build.
5. Pre-Mobilization Meetings
We coordinate with the client, architects, and subcontractors in pre-mobilization meetings to finalize logistics, align responsibilities, and confirm readiness for boots on the ground.
