For mortgage lenders and owners in today’s real estate market, there can be a high level of uncertainty about the actual value of any new construction or renovation project.

Particularly in regions of the country where there is little to no regulation (building codes) or licensing requirements for building contractors, it is nearly impossible to be certain that the building they set out to create will be worth their investment.

This is where we come in.

We work with lenders and owners to:

• Review building designs and development plans to aid in a fair assessment of a project’s real value and identify risks
• Interview and select qualified contractors
• Develop detailed material and product specifications
• Review bids, contracts and shop drawings
• Observe and report on construction progress
• Process requests for payments to contractors
• Track and evaluate change order items
• Develop intelligent, timely and aesthetically-pleasing solutions to construction detailing issues

In short, we help to maintain transparency for and minimize the risks to the real stakeholders in the project. We can improve the communication between owners and contractors and streamline the construction process.

We offer CCARM as a stand-alone service or in conjunction with our full architectural services on residential and commercial projects. For example, if you are building a small home or planning an addition, you may simply want a little guidance- we can help.

On the other end of the spectrum, if you have a major real estate development project and are looking for an experienced, professional team to represent your interests, we can help you too.

Working with our team provides lenders and owners with a high level of assurance that their projects will be completed in a timely and professional manner, as well as meet their expectations in terms of overall quality and value.
