At the earliest stages, Stringer Project Management helps clients shape and validate the right projects before significant capital is committed.

Services include:

• Strategic capital planning and portfolio prioritization to align projects with business objectives, financial parameters, and operational needs.

• Needs assessment and program development, including stakeholder interviews, space utilization analysis, and definition of functional and technical requirements.

• Feasibility studies and options analysis that evaluate potential sites, massing and scope options, entitlement paths, schedule implications, and order-of-magnitude costs.

• Business case support, including high-level financial inputs, risk identification, and structured frameworks for go/no-go decisions and governance approvals.

Stringer Project Management supports clients as they navigate site selection, planning, and approvals:

• Site evaluation and coordination of test fits with design teams to confirm that the program, circulation, and building systems can be effectively accommodated.

• Zoning, permitting, and entitlement strategy support, including schedule planning, documentation needs, and coordination with land use counsel and permitting specialists.

• Representation in discussions with municipalities, public agencies, and community stakeholders to support approvals, manage expectations, and build alignment around project goals.

During design, the firm manages the process to ensure that the project remains aligned with scope, budget, schedule, and performance targets:

• Procurement and management of architects, engineers, specialty consultants, and other technical vendors, including development of RFPs, interviews, and selection recommendations.

• Design management from concept through construction documents, maintaining alignment with program, budget, schedule, sustainability goals, and operational requirements.

• Constructability and value management reviews in collaboration with cost estimators and contractors to maintain cost and schedule control while preserving design intent.

• Coordination of user group input, stakeholder workshops, and change management so that feedback is incorporated in a structured way without compromising project objectives.

Stringer Project Management creates and maintains the financial and time framework that drives project decisions:

• Development of master project budgets, including construction (hard costs), soft costs, FFE/IT/AV, contingencies, escalation, and owner reserves.

• Ongoing cost management, including estimate review and reconciliation, evaluation of value-engineering options, change order review, and contingency management.

• Master schedule development that integrates design, permitting, procurement, construction, commissioning, and move/activation milestones into a realistic, achievable plan.

• Cash flow forecasting and regular updates to support client financial planning, funding strategies, and internal reporting.

The firm advises on strategies and manages processes to secure the right partners on the right terms:

• Development of procurement strategies for construction delivery methods such as CM-at-risk, design-build, design-bid-build, and other hybrids based on project goals and risk profile.

• Preparation and management of RFPs for construction managers, key trade partners, and major vendors, including bid coordination, leveling of proposals, and award recommendations.

• Support in negotiations of design, construction, and vendor contracts, with attention to scope clarity, commercial terms, risk allocation, and performance expectations.

During construction, Stringer Project Management serves as the owner’s representative and central point of coordination:

• Day-to-day project oversight, including participation in Owner–Architect–Contractor (OAC) meetings and regular progress reviews.

• Oversight of construction administration processes, including monitoring of RFIs, submittals, and field issues to ensure timely resolution and adherence to design intent.

• Change management review to assess the cost, schedule, and risk implications of proposed changes and support informed owner approvals or rejections.

• Regular site walks to observe progress, identify emerging issues, and confirm quality and safety standards are being maintained.

Stringer Project Management focuses on anticipating issues rather than reacting to them:

• Identification of project risks across entitlement, design, procurement, construction, and operations, coupled with mitigation planning and tracking.

• Quality assurance and quality control oversight, including coordination of third-party reviews, testing, and commissioning activities.

• Support for compliance with building codes, life safety requirements, accessibility standards, and regulatory expectations through coordination with design teams and authorities.

The firm ensures that building systems and operations are fully integrated into the project delivery process:

• Coordination of IT, AV, security, specialty systems (such as lab or medical infrastructure), and other technology scopes with the base-building design and schedule.

• Planning and support for furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FFE), including needs definition, procurement coordination, and installation sequencing.

• Operational readiness planning, working with client facilities and operations teams to integrate workflows, maintenance needs, and staffing considerations into the final design and handover.

Stringer Project Management manages the critical transition from construction to operations:

• Coordination and oversight of commissioning activities for building systems, ensuring that performance criteria are met and that systems are properly tested and documented.

• Management of punch list development, tracking, and resolution to close out the project efficiently and with clear accountability.

• Organization and delivery of closeout documentation, including as-built drawings, O&M manuals, warranties, training materials, and other turnover requirements.

• Post-occupancy check-ins to capture lessons learned, respond to performance issues, and identify opportunities for optimization or fine-tuning.

Beyond individual projects, the firm provides strategic advisory services that inform broader real estate decisions:

• Support for acquisitions and dispositions from a physical asset and project feasibility standpoint, including high-level CAPEX assessments and risk/complexity evaluation.

• Oversight of tenant improvements and landlord work, aligning lease requirements with test fits, build-out plans, and project execution.

• Long-range facilities and portfolio planning, including phasing strategies for multi-project or campus environments to minimize operational disruption and manage capital deployment.

Stringer Project Management prioritizes clarity and structure in project governance:

• Development of governance frameworks, steering committee structures, and decision-making protocols for complex organizations and multi-stakeholder environments.

• Preparation of executive-level dashboards, status reports, and board-ready materials summarizing budget, schedule, risk, and key decisions in a concise, actionable format.

• Stakeholder engagement and change management support to help client leadership and end users understand impacts, timelines, responsibilities, and benefits.
