01 Hotel Development

Owner's-side guidance from concept through operator selection, agreements and pre-opening.

Most developers who take on a hotel are building one for the first time. The operator you choose shapes the design, the brand shapes the capital stack, and the first six months are expensive to reverse. We sit on the owner's side of the table from the first conversation through operator selection, agreements and pre-opening.

02 Industrialized Construction and Building Technology

Getting better building systems specified, bid and built.

Better building systems exist, they are certified, and they still lose to the way the last project was done. We help manufacturers of prefabricated, modular and panelized systems get specified, bid and built, and help owners decide whether one fits. Twenty years of building off site, from remote-site shelter to structural panels.

Life cycle cost, embodied carbon, energy performance and construction timeline are not separate conversations. They are the same conversation, and the structure you choose on day one determines the outcome on all of them.

03 Development and Infrastructure

What to build, how, with whom, and what it costs to own.

What to build, how to build it, who to build it with, and what it will cost to own over its life, in money and in carbon. Development strategy, market entry and investment advisory across Canada and North America, from a firm that develops projects as well as advising on them.

04 Procurement and Project Delivery

Making sure what was designed gets built, anywhere.

Complex projects fail in the supply chain more often than on the drawing board. Procurement strategy, sourcing, logistics and delivery for construction and infrastructure projects, including remote and international sites with no local supply chain at all.

05 AI Strategy and Implementation

Putting AI to work in real estate, hospitality and construction firms, from people who run them.

Most firms have already tried AI, and few got what they expected. We start with the firm's own knowledge, not with a tool, and we know which tasks are worth automating because we do this work ourselves. Practical AI for real estate, hospitality, construction and AEC firms.
