With in-house grant-writing services and practiced contract and grant administration, we have a proven track record of identifying potential funding sources and procuring grant and loan funding with efficiency and a high rate of success. We have worked closely with every primary state and federal funding program and built a wealth of resources through an extensive knowledge base and valuable funding program contacts. Among the communities we assist, we manage all grant administration and funding acquisition for their improvements. Once funding has been procured, we continue to identify future funding solutions for upcoming projects and remain proactive in maintaining the comprehensive goals of the community on an ongoing basis.

Construction Administration

As we are contracted to be liaisons of the community, we use our intimate knowledge of the project, our vision, and our trained eyes to help solve inevitable problems that arise during construction. A comprehensive set of drawings identifies the main issues. It communicates the intent of the design, but no single set of plans can ever cover everything because construction is highly complex. Challenges spring up during all portions of a project, not just in the early stages, and we firmly believe the act of design is present and necessary throughout the process, including construction. It is common that during a site visit for design purposes, we find opportunities to improve or extend the design in a way that was not apparent from the surveyor’s data received for design. Why is this? That is because, during a site visit, we use our senses, sight, smell, touch, and many years of construction experience, to take in information. We see the project in its reality based on our construction background. This background translates into the design, and obstacles are overcome as we envision the equipment performing the work. It is essential to have your project run smoothly, have a team approach to solving problems, and keep your staff and community leaders on board during construction.  As a result, we utilize our highly valued staff with a construction background and many years of experience to provide your necessary construction administration services.
