DEVELOPMENT & CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

DEVELOPMENT

Our team focuses on the key details and planning of the project in the planning phase.  We navigate the iterative design process of the architectural design and planning work with a clear and articulate vision.  

Our real estate development and construction management services provide critical oversight measures that save the project money and manage risk.  Our main focus is guiding the needs and vision for the project to the design team incorporating the site’s physical constraints while adhering to project budget. 

In addition, the materials, finishes and equipment selection, schedules and construction techniques are important management decisions overseen to align to the project’s vision within its budget.  

Our management efforts include:

  • Manage the design and construction process

  • Insure against potential design delays and costs

  • Total cost and schedule control

  • Project will be fit for intended use

  • State of the art design with construction issues mitigated for the betterment of the project

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

Our experienced team coordinates closely with architects, interior designers, engineers, and contractors to oversee every phase of construction, from initiation to completion, ensuring compliance with all regulations and quality standards. By continuously monitoring the progress and adapting to changes swiftly, we deliver projects on time and within budget.

The key to a successful project starts with pre-planning and due diligence.  We understand that each of our projects also come with its unique challenges. 

CDC group establishes early decision making processes and proactively sets up protocols that are best suited to meet the needs of the unique project and team while utilizing big picture risk management tools to regularly monitor and address challenges early on ensuring the project’s success.
