Our Services:
Commercial Construction Monitoring
Our construction observation and monitoring services encompass regular site visits and thorough evaluations of requested hard costs. Monthly site visits, ideally aligned with payment applications maintain project engagement, prevent surprises stemming from extended gaps, and facilitate client-project connectivity. Our consultants visit with construction personnel during visits, documenting progress for comprehensive site observation reports. These reports encompass progress assessment, scheduling, stored materials, change orders, hard cost draws, and identification of reported or observed onsite issues. Inspection intervals can be tailored based on project requirements.
Construction Document & Cost Reviews
Also known as a Front End Analysis, are usually conducted for investors and lenders prior to closing on a commercial construction loan to assess the project's feasibility of construction, both physically and financially. J4 evaluates the pre-construction documentation provided, including: Plans & Specifications, Design & Construction Contracts, third party reports like Geotechnical & Environmental Reports, and Development & Construction Budgets.
Constructability Reviews
The Constructability Review (CR) is an independent and structured review of construction bid documents by construction professionals to make certain that the work requirements are clear, the documents are coordinated and that they assist the selected contractor in bidding, construction and project administration to result in reduced impacts to the project.
The goal of a CR is to save the owner time and money by uncovering problems or potential problems that may be encountered during construction such as errors, omissions, ambiguities, and conflicts.
Property Condition Assessments
Property Condition Assessments (PCAs) and Capital Needs Assessments (CNAs) are specialized reports merging onsite observations with projected capital expenses over a designated period.
PCAs aid potential buyers during due diligence and lenders during commercial property refinancing.
CNAs are prevalent in government programs like USDA Rural Development and HUD/FHA multifamily loans. While resembling PCAs, CNAs often involve extra reporting requirements based on the specific program.
Cost To Complete & Construction Completion
Additional services include Cost to Complete Analysis and Construction Completion Feasibility Analysis.
A Cost to Complete Analysis entails a thorough examination of an ongoing construction project's current status, alongside a detailed assessment of remaining work and necessary funds for its completion.
The Construction Completion Feasibility Analysis is a professional assessment and opinion based on the information gathered through visiting the site, via discussions with key individuals and entities, cursory reviews of any provided documentation, and our experience in the commercial construction industry.
