For developers
Project management for ground-up development
Osher Dyce has spent 10+ years managing projects for developers. He was lead PM on 805 Washington, a nine-story residential building in Brooklyn with two cellar levels, and on a new-build commercial medical center. We manage your project for you from feasibility and design through turnover.
What we watch for
Common problems, and how we handle them
Each of these can be prevented when someone catches it early. That’s our job.
Design gets ahead of the budget
Drawings move faster than cost checks, and redesigning once the guaranteed maximum price (GMP) comes in costs months and fees.
We check cost at each design milestone, so the drawings and the budget stay together.
A small in-house team
A team handling capital, entitlements and leasing can’t also chase RFIs, submittals and change orders every day.
We take the daily RFIs, submittals and change orders off your team and bring you the decisions.
Gaps in the GMP
Exclusions, allowances and contingency language decide who pays when things change.
We negotiate the exclusions, allowances and contingency terms before you sign.
Schedule delays raise carry costs
Late permits, long-lead equipment, inspections and utility work push completion, interest and lease-up.
We track permits, long-lead orders, inspections and utilities every week and flag slips early.
Slow closeout
Punch, CO, warranties and as-builts slip once the GC’s team moves to the next job.
We hold the contractor to the punch list, CO, warranties and as-builts before final payment.
How we help
What Monster Project Group does for you
One project manager working for you, from the first drawing to the last punch-list item.
- 01
Feasibility and budgeting
We test program, budget and schedule early and review cost and constructability at each design milestone.
- 02
Design management
We run the architect, engineers and consultants so the drawings come in complete and buildable.
- 03
Entitlements and permits
We track site plan, design review and permit submittals to approval and prepare board presentations.
- 04
Procurement and GMP negotiation
We pre-qualify GCs, level bids and negotiate contingency, allowances, retainage, schedule and change-order pricing.
- 05
Construction-phase control
We run the project meetings, RFIs and submittals, track the schedule, review pay applications and negotiate change orders.
- 06
Turnover
We coordinate inspections, punch, CO, warranties, O&M manuals and as-builts so you can lease up and convert the loan.
Typical projects
Projects we manage for developers
Do you replace our in-house project manager?
We can, or we can add to your team. Some developers hand us a project end to end, others want a senior PM on design and construction while they focus on capital and leasing.
At what stage do you get involved?
From site selection and feasibility onward. The earlier we start, the more we can affect design, budget and contract terms.
Have you managed projects at this scale?
Osher was lead PM on 805 Washington, a nine-story residential building in Brooklyn, and on a new-build commercial medical center. He has worked on several ground-up buildings and 300+ residential units for developers.
Do you work with lenders’ construction monitors?
Yes. We keep draw packages, budget-to-actual and schedule records organized so lender review and draws move quickly.
