Process

Project delivery in three clear phases

01 — Feasibility

Before anything is drawn, I establish what is actually buildable on your property and what it costs. Jurisdiction, code, and site constraints. Existing conditions. Two or three scope options with real ranges, priced against your actual budget rather than a wish.

Most projects go wrong here, by skipping it. A design developed against a number nobody tested becomes a redesign, and you pay for the drawings twice. You finish this phase knowing whether the project is worth doing, having spent a small number instead of committing a large one.

02 — Design

I engage the right architect and designer for the work, negotiate their scope and fee, and manage the drawings through permit. You contract with them directly. I hold the schedule, the budget, and the coordination between them.

03 — Construction

I select the builder, run the schedule and the budget, and hold the standard in the field. The details that fail buildings fail quietly, behind finishes, years later. Someone has to be looking at them while they are still open.

The Playbook

Every project runs on the same framework, developed across hotel developments, corporate campus work, and residential projects, and refined on each one since.

Phase gates. Nothing moves forward without a written sign-off on scope and budget. This is what keeps "while we're at it" from becoming a change order you find out about later.

A single budget structure, carried from the first estimate through closeout, so the number you saw in feasibility is the same number you're tracking in month nine.
Separate contingencies. One for construction unknowns, one for the decisions you make along the way. Blended, your upgrades quietly consume the money set aside for the things behind the walls.
A written decision log. Every choice, who made it, and when. What was agreed to never becomes a negotiation.
Named hold points. The details that matter — waterproofing, structural connections, anything that gets covered — get inspected before they're closed up, not after.
A defined selection process for architects, designers, and builders, so you're choosing between real options rather than taking the first name offered.
