CREA 's principals have constructed and advised on over 2 billion dollars of commercial projects both for their own account
or acting as the owner's representative. Our team can provide guidance in construction
and development activities either as planners, program managers, or project managers.
Strategic Planning sets the foundation for a successful project. First, we identify the needs of our clients through a series of interviews
and then through our methodology, we carefully associate the related costs and benefits of each against company goals.
Master site planning may begin with a number of alternatives or just one defined site.
We suggest and analyze the various schemes for possible development and rank these through a Quantitative Objective
Analysis by assigning priorities and weights to each objective.
Program Management services offer a team of marketing experts, facilitators
for governmental approvals, and construction experts for the development process. The marketing experts aid in the design
process, develop leasing strategy, interpret market conditions, and assess peer group competition. The approvals team evaluates the governmental process and economic incentives; our construction
managers attend to the details of design and construction. Program activities
begin with the acquisition negotiation and due diligence activities. Oversight continues in design and construction through
to occupancy.
Project Management services assist companies in determining project-contracting
strategies with architects, engineers, contractors, and other professionals. Our
project managers implement cost controls and cash management systems, develop budgets and schedules, assist
in interpreting change order requests, and provide value engineering solutions.
