Two disciplines, covered end to end, from the ownership side and from the field. We pair institutional real estate development experience with field-proven leadership in complex construction, giving every project the combined coverage of a full team, backed by executive oversight and a proven record of execution.
Ferrous provides real estate advisory services as a neutral, third-party consultant, engaged from the Owner's perspective, with the mindset that every project is treated as our own. On select engagements, we're also able to co-invest alongside our clients or serve as a Co-GP.
Retained by Owners to manage a real estate development project as a third-party Development Manager, executing their business plan from start to finish. We assemble and lead the project team, bringing a broad network of architects, consultants, contractors, and capital relationships to every engagement.
Once a project is capitalized, Ferrous manages the financial mechanics that keep it funded and on track: overseeing the construction budget, administering lender draw requests, and reporting directly to Owners on where every dollar stands. Budget management is treated as a continuous discipline, not a monthly formality. Contingency is tracked in real time and change orders are vetted before they're approved.
Before a shovel goes in the ground, we help Owners and investors determine whether a site is worth pursuing by evaluating zoning and entitlement pathways, highest and best use, and preliminary cost and revenue assumptions to build a business plan that stands up to scrutiny, giving Owners the confidence to move forward, or the clarity to walk away.
Ferrous supports Owners through the underwriting process and arrangement of capital stacks, quantifying equity and leverage positions best suited for each project.
Field-level execution informed by decades of hands-on superintendent experience, managing the construction process on behalf of Owners from mobilization through Certificate of Occupancy.
Ferrous manages the construction process on behalf of Owners, from early preconstruction planning through Certificate of Occupancy. Preconstruction input on budget, schedule, and constructability helps set a project up for success well before the first trade mobilizes.
Ferrous oversees the competitive bidding process on behalf of the Owner, from initial solicitation through final award. We evaluate and level bids across general contractor and trade candidates, then participate directly in descoping reviews with subcontractors to protect the budget before contracts are signed.
Ferrous combines hands-on construction experience with fluency in Building Information Modeling, a combination that is uncommon in the field. Because our team has built what is on the model, we're able to identify clashes and constructability issues that a designer alone might miss, and serve as a working intermediary between the general contractor and the architecture and engineering team. Also available as a standalone, third-party service to general contractors who need dedicated BIM and schedule support.
Ferrous provides dedicated field oversight built on years of general superintendent experience across complex ground-up and renovation projects, covering jobsite safety, daily documentation, and day-to-day field management.
Ferrous also supports construction lenders through due diligence and loan monitoring, providing reports and other forms of consulting. For lenders navigating troubled or stalled developments, we step in as an independent third party to evaluate the project, restructure teams or business plans where needed, and lead the path back toward completion, protecting the lender's interests along the way.
