Transparent fees. No vendor kickbacks. No surprises.
We scale fees as a percentage of the construction value you ask us to defend. Below are the four engagement models we offer, with indicative bands.
Active CapEx under PM
We scale fees as a percentage of the construction value you ask us to defend. A simple metric, transparent each quarter, with KPI-aligned upside on Phase and Lifecycle engagements.
Discovery
Pre-design instrumentation, before you've committed.
- Feasibility study
- Site & utility due diligence
- Probabilistic cost forecast (P50 / P80)
- Stakeholder + regulatory map
- Go/no-go IC memo
Phase
Owner-side PM scoped to one phase of an active project.
- One phase: Pre-Design, Design, Procurement, Construction, or Closeout
- Senior PM accountable end-to-end of that phase
- Mission Control dashboards for that phase's KPIs
- Weekly OAC + monthly executive report
- Phase handover memo to the next team
Full Lifecycle
End-to-end owner's representation from concept to warranty.
- All six phases under one senior PM
- Mission Control across project, finance, ESG, and risk
- Lender-, board-, and tenant-grade reporting cadence
- BIM / Cx / POE programs contracted at SD
- 11-month warranty walk + remediation pursuit
Portfolio
Programmatic owner's representation across multiple projects.
- Cross-project benchmarking + portfolio reporting

Common questions about our fees
Are quoted fees the only cost?
Yes. We don't carry subcontracts, don't take vendor incentives, and don't bill for travel under 200 miles. Reimbursables (specialty consultants, third-party testing) pass through at cost with prior approval.
Do you offer fixed-fee engagements?
Yes — Discovery is fixed-fee, Phase can be fixed-fee or percentage, Lifecycle is typically percentage with a fixed-fee floor.
How are performance-aligned KPIs structured?
Schedule, cost, quality, and (where applicable) sustainability KPIs are set at engagement start with bonus/at-risk bands. We do not propose KPIs we don't think are achievable.
What is the minimum engagement length?
Discovery is typically 4–8 weeks. Phase and Lifecycle are scoped against the project schedule. Portfolio engagements are annual with a one-year minimum.
How quickly can you mobilize?
Discovery within 7 days. Phase within 14 days for Southern California, 21 days nationally. Lifecycle requires a 2–3 week kickoff to set up Mission Control.
Will we work with the senior PM on the sales call?
Always. We do not bench-and-switch. The senior PM in the proposal is the one who runs the engagement.
Want a real quote on your project?
We deliver written proposals in 1–3 business days after a 30-minute scoping call.
