01
Discovery

Initial Inquiry & Project Assessment

Every engagement starts with a conversation. A client comes to us with a project opportunity — whether it's an early-stage concept or a site already in motion. Through a series of discussions, we listen carefully to understand the full scope, current stage, and what it will take to get from where they are to where they want to be.

Understanding the project type, size, and location
Identifying what stage of development the client is currently in
Determining which services and level of involvement are needed
Establishing communication structure and key stakeholders
02
Proposal

Tailored Proposal & Scope of Work

Once we have a clear picture of the project, we return with a detailed proposal outlining our fees and the full scope of services required to deliver a turnkey result. We define responsibilities, deliverables, and the path forward — so there are no surprises before a single nail is driven.

Transparent fee structure based on project scope
Clear definition of SAJ responsibilities vs. client responsibilities
Identification of what a full turnkey delivery looks like for this project
Agreement on milestones and decision points
03
Strategy

Vision, Budget & Strategic Planning

We take the time to fully understand what the client is trying to achieve — not just the physical build, but their intent, their timeline, and their financial parameters. From there, we develop a strategy that finds the right balance between vision and budget, ensuring every decision moves the project forward with purpose and precision.

Budget analysis and financial benchmarking
Strategic sequencing to maximize value and minimize risk
Identifying opportunities to optimize scope without compromising quality
04
Pre-Construction

Pre-Construction & Design Coordination

The foundation of a successful build is set before construction begins. Depending on where the client is in the process, we either lead the full pre-construction phase or integrate seamlessly into work already in progress. This is where the project is truly defined — permits pulled, design locked, budget validated, and schedule set.

Permit procurement and city coordination
Design commencement or integration of client-provided design documents
Value engineering to align design intent with budget
Detailed cost budgeting and subcontractor pre-qualification
Master schedule development and phasing plan
05
Construction

Construction Execution & Site Management

With the plan set, we build. Our team manages every aspect of the construction phase — from daily site supervision and subcontractor coordination to quality control and client reporting. We stay proactive, not reactive, anticipating issues before they become problems and keeping all parties informed at every step.

Daily on-site superintendent oversight and crew management
Subcontractor scheduling, coordination, and accountability
Ongoing quality control and safety compliance
Weekly client updates and progress documentation
Change order management and RFI resolution
06
Closeout

Project Delivery & Closeout

We don't consider a project complete until the client is ready to open their doors. Our closeout process is as thorough as our construction — ensuring every detail is addressed, every inspection is passed, and every document is in order. We hand over a finished space and a clean project file, ready for operations.

Punch list walk-through and deficiency resolution
Final city inspections and certificate of occupancy procurement
Subcontractor lien releases and close-out documentation
Owner training on building systems and equipment
Project handover with full as-built documentation
