Construction phase
The groundwork for success starts long before ground is broken.
Once construction starts, a project's vision is tested in real time. Owners have to manage complicated contracts, tight schedules, and ongoing coordination among architects, contractors, and lenders—all while maintaining quality and budgets. Even small miscommunications or errors can quickly escalate into costly delays or performance issues that compromise long-term value.
As an impartial partner, Marx Okubo helps real estate owners, investors, and lenders maintain control and clarity throughout construction by providing oversight and timely, meaningful analysis of construction progress. We understand how decisions in the field affect cost, schedule, and lifecycle performance—and we ensure issues are addressed before they become expensive problems.
From monitoring structural, MEP, and building enclosures to validating accessibility and fire protection/life safety compliance, we bring deep technical insight to every stage of construction. Ultimately, we ensure what's built matches the established intent, quality, and expectations, so clients can move confidently toward completion and occupancy.
