Annual Impact Report 2025

Our 2025 portfolio spanned retail, industrial, multifamily, healthcare, hospitality, and adaptive reuse — concentrated in California, with expansion into the Mountain West and selective Texas pursuits. The numbers we report below are tracked weekly, audited annually, and reconciled against client invoices and bank records.

Delivery: 95% of projects landed on or ahead of contracted substantial-completion date. The 5% that didn't were split evenly between supply-chain shocks (tariff-driven steel delays) and AHJ delays (one OSHPD plan-check cycle, one CEQA appeal).

Cost: average savings against owner-baseline GMP was 12.4%. The savings stack: 4.2% from pre-design value engineering, 3.1% from procurement hedging, 3.6% from change-order discipline, 1.5% from closeout recovery.

Quality: 98% of projects closed at substantial completion with fewer than 25 punch-list items per 100,000 sq ft. Re-work spend averaged 0.4% of construction value, down from 0.7% in 2024.

Safety: 1,820 OSHA-clean days portfolio-wide. Zero recordable injuries on our directly-managed sites. TRIR portfolio-equivalent: 0.0.

Client retention: 90%+ of clients with active engagements signed at least one additional pursuit within 12 months. The single biggest churn cause was acquisition (client portfolio sold), not dissatisfaction.

Three lessons that stuck. First, pre-design instrumentation paid back more in 2025 than any other discipline; clients who hired us before the architect outperformed clients who hired us at GMP by ~9 percentage points. Second, supply-chain headwinds remained the largest schedule risk, and the firms that pre-purchased switchgear and dock equipment recovered weeks of float. Third, ESG documentation matured from a chore to a financing requirement — lenders increasingly require asset-level carbon disclosures.

What we're carrying into 2026: deeper bench in cold storage and biotech, an expanded sustainability practice, and the first wave of AI-augmented schedule risk tools rolled into Mission Control.
