Land Acquisition
The Daniel Greenhalgh Consulting team are continually looking for parcels of land that will fit into a project’s plan and specifications. Purchasing land for development is a complicated process with many factors to be considered beyond cost and location. Local government community plans, current and future zoning of the area, as well as infrastructure need to be considered.
Full Construction Schedule
Many factors play into keeping a construction project on schedule: trades, inspections, permitting, to name just a few. Placing a high level of focus on critical path items is necessary for financing and budget management.
Pre-Construction Budgeting
Throughout the development process we are continually updating the early pro forma evaluation to reflect the evolution of the project and adjust costing for market fluctuations.
Our constant, hands-on approach the budgeting process ensures a realistic cost projection and construction schedule prior to committing to the drawings.New Paragraph
Full Construction Budget
Building a detailed and accurate construction project budget that is separate from the construction process helps identify areas of concern or gaps when sending construction components out to tender. By comparing our budget to the values we receive back from contractors we are able to determine if any areas of been overlooked or missed as soon as possible.
Preliminary Scheduling
To deliver a project on time and on budget it’s imperative that a schedule is crafted early in the design phase. This is a critical step that puts the right focus
on schedules and budgeting.
Pro Forma Evaluation
Early in the development process we craft a pro forma which simply outlines the building plans, cost to build, and projects the profitability of the development. This helps determine whether the project is feasible prior to acquiring the la

Development Services
It takes a big team of experienced professionals to bring a development project to fruition. We will scout the best talent in the consultant pool to pull together a group of people including:
- Architects
- Structural engineers
- Landscape consultants
- Electrical engineers
- Mechanical engineers
- Geotechnical engineers
- Materials testing engineers
- Civil engineers
- Envelope consultants
- Code consultants
- Surveyors
- New Paragraph
Our team oversees every aspect of the construction phase right through to completion and/or occupancy. Not only does the ensure the budget and schedule is managed effectively, it allows our team to stay abreast of market pricing and project challenges.
Grow your business
It also takes a very good project manager to oversee a large group of consultants. Our years of development and construction management allows us to manage the consulting to maximize time efficiency and move the project through the approval process with local governments.
Working closely with the consulting team ensures consistency with the vision for the project. We are in constant communication with the team leadership, providing them with accurate information so they can make the best decisions possible.
This is how we keep consulting costs competitive and construction costs stay on budget.
Drawing Review and Cost Engineering
The architectural drawings for each project undergo several rounds of revisions based on the finding of the consulting team. This attention to detail minimizes the number of conflicts and errors before construction begins, again, enabling us to deliver a project within the projected timeframe and budget.
Our collaborative team process is one of the marquee assets Daniel Greenhalgh Consulting brings to the table.
