Turnkey, inception
to completion.
We run retrofit and construction programmes as the single point of contact — scoping and budget, procurement, field execution, closeout — with every commitment, dollar and deficiency tracked on one shared record. The team that scopes the retrofit and sets the budget is the team that closes it out.
Three things
stay constant.
Whatever the programme is, these do not change: who is accountable, what counts as done, and where the number comes from.
Single point of contact
Nothing is handed off between an audit group, a design group and a construction group. One project manager carries the file from the first site walk to the final invoice, and the person who wrote the specification is available when the field asks about it.
Site-verified, not self-reported
A contractor marking a unit complete and a site visit confirming it are two different facts. We keep them as two different numbers until they agree — reported progress and site-verified progress run side by side on every project.
Reconciled to the dollar
Contract value, invoiced, certified and paid are four different totals on any construction project. We reconcile them continuously, so a gap between an invoice and a certificate surfaces the week it happens rather than at the final account.
Five phases,
one team.
Nothing changes hands between phases. The same project record simply gets fuller, which is also what makes the closeout package a byproduct of the work rather than a reconstruction of it.
One record,
kept honest
by the field.
On a grant-funded project this is not administrative tidiness. Every dollar of a CMHC grant has to be traceable to a completed, verified scope of work, and a reconciliation that only happens at month end is a reconciliation that happens too late to change anything.
One number, everywhere
The budget figure discussed at the board table is the one the site superintendent is looking at that morning.
Nothing waits for a status meeting
Progress, deficiencies and invoices update as the work happens, rather than once a month when somebody rebuilds the spreadsheet.
Auditable by construction
Because the record is built as the work proceeds, the funder's audit trail exists before anyone asks for it.
Common questions.
No. We act for the owner — scoping, design, procurement, contract administration and construction project management. The trades are contracted separately and we administer that contract on the owner's behalf, which is the point: the party certifying payment is not the party being paid.
It is most of what we do. One co-operative programme sequenced ten distinct measures across an occupied 92-unit tower and eighteen townhomes without displacing residents. In a co-operative or a rental building, sequencing around occupancy is not a constraint on the schedule — it is the schedule.
You get access to the same live record the project runs on, and owners who would rather have a weekly PDF get a weekly PDF. What does not change is that there is one record, because the alternative is a set of parallel ones that disagree with each other by month three.
Yes, though expect the first fortnight to be reconciliation rather than progress. The usual finding on a handover is that reported completion and verified completion have drifted apart, and that gap has to be measured before anything else is meaningful.
Thirty minutes, with the engineer who would run the work.
No cost and no obligation. Bring twelve months of utility bills if you have them — that alone is usually enough to say whether a building has a capital problem or a controls problem.
