Project leadership for complex Florida real estate work.
Construa supports owners, developers, and investors who need experienced principal-level leadership across the project lifecycle — from pre-purchase diligence through construction closeout. Each service can be engaged individually or coordinated together.
Owner-side project leadership.
Full project management on the owner's side of the table. We hold scope, schedule, and budget discipline across consultants, the GC, and the lender from the moment we engage. One principal accountable for the integrity of the project from intake through CO.
Best for: Owners and developers who need structure, leadership, and a single accountable point of contact.
- Master scheduling and critical-path management.
- Budget control, draw oversight, change-order review.
- Consultant and contractor coordination.
- Monthly written owner / investor / lender reporting.
- Decision-tracking and meeting cadence discipline.
- Direct principal access throughout the engagement.
- Pre-construction sequencing and constructability review.
- Field oversight, daily reports, photographic documentation.
- Quality control through inspections and milestone reviews.
- RFI and submittal coordination through approvals.
- Subcontractor management and trade coordination.
- Punch list, closeout, and Certificate of Occupancy support.
Field execution with principal accountability.
Construction management as the construction layer above your GC — or as the owner-rep CM oversight of a self-performed build. Either way, the same Florida-licensed principal is on-site, reading drawings, signing off on field decisions, and tracking the build against the underwriting.
Best for: Projects where schedule, quality, and site discipline materially change outcomes.
Clean submittals. Fewer cycles.
Submittal strategy, review-cycle management, and direct coordination with Florida jurisdictions. Same discipline whether the project is a small commercial build-out or a multifamily entitlement requiring a comp-plan amendment. Engineering and architectural response coordinated with sister firm Apice when needed.
Best for: Projects entering or stalled in the permit pipeline.
- Pre-application strategy with jurisdiction-specific patterns in mind.
- Submittal package review and pre-flight discipline.
- Comment response, revision tracking, resubmittal cycles.
- Specialty permits (floodplain, environmental, fire, transportation).
- Entitlement work: rezone, special-use, variance, comp-plan amendment.
- Permit status tracking across all jurisdictions involved.
- Site & zoning constraints, overlays, allowed uses.
- Code, accessibility, wind/flood, and Florida-specific compliance.
- Environmental flags, floodplain, conservation overlays.
- Utility availability, capacity, and connection-cost realities.
- Entitlement-path timeline and cost analysis.
- Direct yes / fix / no-go recommendation.
Pre-purchase technical clarity.
Independent technical review of the property before commitment deepens. Site, zoning, code, environmental, utilities, and entitlement path — documented in a single decision document, not a slide deck.
Best for: Acquisitions and land evaluations before non-refundable money is committed.
One principal-level operator on your side.
Fractional or full-time owner representation for projects that need an experienced principal advocating for the owner's interests across design, construction, and capital partners. Same discipline as PM and CM, scoped to the moments where owner-side advocacy matters most.
Best for: Out-of-state owners, family offices, and principals running multiple projects.
- Scope advocacy in design-team coordination.
- Budget and contingency oversight from the owner's lens.
- GC pay-application and lien-waiver review.
- Change-order analysis and pricing reasonableness review.
- Owner / investor / lender reporting from an owner-side voice.
- Decision documentation that survives audit, refinance, or transition.
- Second-opinion construction reviews.
- Mid-project rescue and stabilization.
- Defect, delay, and dispute technical analysis.
- Construction-cost reasonableness reviews.
- Scope, schedule, and contractor performance evaluations.
- Pre-litigation or settlement technical input.
Specific technical questions, specific answers.
Short-engagement consulting for situations that don't need a full PM/CM mandate — second opinions on existing-project issues, scope review for a specific construction question, mid-project rescue, or expert-witness-style technical evaluation.
Best for: Owners or counsel who need a clean, defensible technical read.
From first review to active execution.
Every project is different, but the goal is the same: create clarity early, reduce avoidable risk, and move forward with a tighter, more controlled process.
Initial fit review
Property, project stage, goals, constraints. The first conversation is designed to determine fit, surface key risks, and identify the right next step.
Scope & fee proposal
Written scope with the specific deliverable, timeline, and fee. Hourly retainer, monthly fee, or project-based depending on the engagement.
Engagement structure
A clear path is established — advisory, permitting coordination, owner's representation, PM, CM, or a combined structure shaped to the project.
Ongoing leadership
Structured oversight, coordination, reporting, and decision support to keep the project aligned with scope, schedule, and execution priorities.
Not sure which service fits the project?
Most engagements blend two or three of the above. Send the property and a short summary — we'll come back with the structure that makes sense and a written scope & fee.
Send the address, the plans, or the question.
Every inquiry is read by the principal. We respond within two business days. The first conversation is fit and scope — not a sales pitch.
