PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

The devil is in the detail. We get it. At CORE we embrace the science of digging in to the grit and paying attention to even the smallest of details. We give you confidence that your project is being managed through every single phase from preliminary feasibility studies, Pro forma / budget analysis, financing, planning and zoning, to completed construction and post opening operation.

OWNER’S REPRESENTATION + PROJECT OVERSIGHT

CORE will manage the daily challenges that arise, mitigate risk, and help bring your project to a close on time and within budget. CORE offers a full array of services including scheduling, budgeting, feasibility studies, re-zoning assistance, due diligence work with financing and loan closings, bid assistance, contract evaluation, and change order pricing and review.

DESIGN / CONSTRUCTION / PROJECT MANAGEMENT

CORE is a proven partner, acting as your own in-house construction manager delivering projects on time and on budget. We have managed design / builds on everything from office buildings, outlet retail and restaurants, healthcare facilities, warehouses and distribution facilities, to urban mixed-use developments projects and historic preservation renovations.

 

Our goal is to consistently provide you a higher project value than the traditional design- bid-build method. CORE will manage every aspect of your build from concept to well past your grand opening. Our experienced team has proven processes and systems in place that keep your project moving forward smoothly ensuring maximum efficiency. CORE will manage the schedule and costs while delivering your build on time and within your budget to the highest standard of quality.

FEASIBILITY STUDIES

CORE helps its partners figure out the most economical way to develop a project for the best return on your investment. Many developers make the mistake of proceeding with a project before they have completed the proper feasibility studies, then wonder why the project lost money. CORE can help avoid this pitfall by figuring the best use for the property while it is under contract and before closing so there is very little money lost if there are issues that produce poor ROI. By analyzing a project early on, we help you save both time and money.

 

CORE can help you develop a project if you have the capital but need development expertise and adequate time to devote to the management.

 

We have relationships with Economic Development Agencies and other quasi-governmental agencies and know how to work with them to help find tax abatements or “free-money” opportunities for infrastructure to hit the returns you need for investors and financing.

 

Have questions about whether it is it best to lease, own or develop a site build – to – suit? A good feasibility study will help illustrate which option is best so you can make an educated decision. We will help you figure out the most economical financing alternative that fits your needs and budget.
