R.C. May Inc., Construction Consultant, Boston

List of Clients

Our clients are primarily Owners, Developers, Educational Institutions, Businesses and Lenders involved with construction projects or real estate acquisitions. We also provide litigation support on construction related claims to Law Firms, and assistance to Contractors with resolution of specific project issues. We work directly with our Clients in an advisory role providing experienced professional construction advice and assistance. We can be brought in at any time during the life of a project. The following is a brief description of the types of services we provide to our Clients.

Owners – Owner clients include Industrial Companies, Multi-Family Housing Developers, Assisted Living Providers, Educational Institutions, and High Technology Companies, involved with the development of new facilities. Many of these organizations build infrequently, and outsourcing the Project Management function to RCM allows them to acquire the necessary construction expertise without the long term commitment of hiring new staff. For Owners acquiring new buildings or wishing to re-finance, we can provide the required Property Condition Assessments and Maintenance Reserve Analysis.

Our services include project advice in areas such as budgeting, assistance in selection of Architect and Contractor, contract negotiation, value engineering, and performance as Owner’s Representative during design and construction, including full time field representation. In addition, we provide peer review of Contractor’s estimates on selected projects, property condition assessments in connection with acquisitions and re-financings, and replacement reserve recommendation for existing properties.

Developers – Our clients include Developers and Real Estate Investment Trust’s involved in the construction or acquisition of commercial real estate. These organizations, while typically capable of managing their projects, often find it beneficial to engage RCM for Project Management, either to fill a temporary staffing shortage, or to supplement their in-house expertise for a particular project. This can be a very cost effective measure to even out fluctuations in the work load of in-house staff.

As with our Owner clients, our services to Developers and Real Estate Investment Trusts typically include project advice in areas such as budgeting, assistance in selection of Architect and Contractor, contract negotiation, value engineering, and performance as Owner’s Representative during design and construction. In addition, we provide peer review of Contractor’s estimates on selected projects, property condition assessments in connection with acquisitions and re-financings, and replacement reserve recommendations for existing properties.

Lenders – Our clients include Banks and Investment firms providing project financing. Our services typically include Pre-construction Evaluation to assure that the construction documents used for the loan closing (costs of construction and soft cost, drawings, schedules, contract agreements, permitting documentation, etc.) are adequate. During the construction phase, our Construction Monitoring Services include site visits as required to provide our formal recommendation for disbursement of construction funds, our comments regarding compliance with established budgets and schedules and, for conformance to generally accepted construction industry practices. The extensive experience of our staff allows us to detect problems early, and advise our clients so that timely action can be taken.

We conduct property condition assessments for Lenders in connection with property acquisitions and re-financings.

Lawyers – We provide litigation support to Law Firms involved in construction related claims. Services may include case review, claim analysis, and expert witness testimony. Assessment of specific cases and recommendation of expert witnesses is also provided.

Contractors – We assist Contractor’s with solutions to problems on individual projects and with general evaluation and training.
