Real Estate Development Consulting Services

Real estate development can open up opportunities, but with increased risk and complexity. A development consultant can help you navigate those challenges.

Real estate development projects are increasingly complex, cost-sensitive and schedule-driven. At the same time, development sites are increasingly challenging, approval processes are increasingly complicated and financial partners are increasingly demanding and risk-averse.

Budget overruns, environmental issues, poor soil conditions, community resistance, permitting headaches… Developers and business leaders who don’t possess the tools in-house to successfully anticipate and manage the range of potential development challenges can quickly find themselves in serious trouble.

You need a development consultant. Let us help.

JJH3group offers clients specialized knowledge and expertise throughout the development process: from site selection and entitlements through financing, design, construction and ultimately lease-up/sale. We work to help our clients better understand their costs and their options — to see both the opportunities and the pitfalls — providing them with reliable advice for well-informed decisions, lower risk and higher returns.

Take advantage of our deep and broad portfolio of expertise

JJH3group prides itself on being a creative, cost-effective and results-oriented development partner.  We understand what our clients are trying to accomplish and the difficulties they face because we’ve been in their shoes and we’ve worked in their markets — what we sometimes call our vertical and horizontal integration:

By vertical integration we refer to the fact that we have experience throughout the development process, from site selection, due diligence, acquisition and entitlements to financing, construction, operations, leasing and sale. We’ve actually done the design work, we’ve built buildings, we’ve negotiated developer’s agreements and procured TIF financing. We’ve estimated costs, won and lost bids, rezoned sites, negotiated leases — and we bring that knowledge and experience into every new relationship.

Similarly, when we talk about our horizontal integration we refer to the breadth of our design and construction experience across a diverse range of project types, from commercial and medical office to multifamily residential, manufacturing, distribution, cold storage, retail and food service. The knowledge and expertise gained from helping those clients solve their unique challenges gives us a wider perspective from which to anticipate obstacles, solve problems and seize opportunities that may not have otherwise been apparent.

What does that depth and breadth of experience mean for you? It means more creative solutions, more predictable schedules and more efficient budgets… It means a better use of your resources, your time and your money.

Managing your project from conception through completion

We operate as fully-integrated members of the project team… developing the program, organizing the process, providing insight, advocating on your behalf and collaborating with internal and external stakeholders. We ask the critical questions early in the process, then apply proven, innovative, economical — and executable — solutions that find the right balance of cost, quality, risk and time.

While various project team members will perform role-specific tasks, we are actively engaged in those tasks and ultimately responsible for all aspects of the development process:

  • Developing the overall program, scope, schedule and delivery method

  • Identifying sites, assess feasibility and leading the due diligence effort

  • Creating conceptual budgets, proformas, sensitivity analyses and ‘what-if’ scenarios

  • Engaging designers and consultants; leading the entitlement and approval processes

  • Helping procure financing; identifying and pursuing potential government assistance

As the project enters the design and construction phases, we are well-positioned and well-prepared to seamlessly transition into the role of owner’s construction representative all the way through occupancy:

  • Managing the design process; providing budget and value engineering insight

  • Bidding, negotiating and enforcing construction contracts; managing cost, schedule and quality

  • Monitoring project punchlist and close-out; obtaining occupancy permits and licenses

  • Supporting the client’s leasing, marketing and sales efforts
