Project management for value-add and capital work
Your returns depend on the renovation budget and the time to stabilization. Osher Dyce has led 20+ major renovations of existing buildings for investors, landlords and developers, across 300+ residential units. We write tight scopes, compare bids line by line, check draws and send reports your partners can read.
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.
Scope grows once the walls open
Bad concrete, failing risers, undersized electrical service and unpermitted past work use up contingency early.
We investigate the building before you set the budget, and size the contingency to what we find.
Downtime costs rent
Every month a unit or floor is offline is lost income, so the schedule has to work around occupancy.
We phase the work around leases and occupancy to keep units earning.
Pricing nobody checks
One contractor across a portfolio is convenient until pricing drifts and no one benchmarks it.
We bid the work competitively and benchmark every price.
Tenants in place
Occupied buildings mean access, noise, shutdowns and life-safety coordination under lease obligations.
We plan access, notices and shutdowns with your property manager before work starts.
Reports that don’t match the pro forma
Partners and lenders want budget-to-actual, draw status and schedule they can trust.
We report budget-to-actual, draw status and schedule in a format your partners and lenders can rely on.

Typical projects
Projects we manage for investors, landlords & family offices
Can you manage several properties at once?
Yes. We use one standard for scopes, bid packages and reporting across all of them, so you can compare projects.
Will you work with our existing contractor?
Yes. We can manage a contractor you already use and check their pricing against competitive bids.
Can your reports go to our lender or investors?
Yes, that’s what they’re for. They cover draws against work in place, budget to actual and schedule.
Do you handle 40-year recertification repairs?
Yes. We work from the engineer’s findings, scope and bid the repairs, and manage the contractor through sign-off.
