C. INVESTMENT ADVICE.

Many investors today want to add real estate to their investment portfolios, but they don’t understand the complex nuances of real estate investing or how to begin the process, and that’s where we come in.  The Firm is in a position to offer advice to estate owners on matters relating to property investment and management. We have acquired considerable experience in these areas, having carried out appraisals and analysis of numerous projects in the past.

D. PROJECT MANAGEMENT.

Project Management is the overall planning, control and co-ordination of a project from conception to completion aimed at meeting a client’s requirements and ensuring completion on time, within cost budget and to the required quality standard.

 

The growing practice in the construction industry today is to appoint the Estate Surveyor and Valuer as Project Manager leaving the other consultants to concentrate more on their professional functions.

 

In the Firm’s capacity as Project Managers, we become the leader of the development team and co-ordinate the functions and activities of all other members of the team as well as the main contractors.  Some of the functions of the Firm as Project Manager will include but are not limited to:

“Site assembly, project feasibility and viability appraisal,      programming, supervision, design appraisal authorizing design changes, monitoring progress and cost, letting and management of the completed development”.

 

Since the Firm also performs the role of property managers, (i.e. after the completion of the development when other members of the development team have left the scene), we have that unique experience obtained from managing properties to detect design features likely to cause management and maintenance problems in future and consequently are in a position to advise against these at the design stage if appointed as Project Manager.

E. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT.

This concerns the control and supervision of a completed development with the aim of maximizing the property investor’s returns from the investment as well as ensuring the proper upkeep and maintenance of the property.

 

In the Firm’s role as property manager, we perform such functions as seeking and obtaining tenants for vacant properties, negotiating and collecting rents from tenants, ensuring that tenants comply with the covenants contained in lease agreements, attending to the numerous  complaints  from  tenants such  as  repairs etc., as  well  as carrying out such other functions that will ensure the maximization of the investor’s return.

F. FEASIBILITY AND VIABILITY STUDIES.

This is usually part of the Estate Surveyor and Valuers function as project manager but requires further explanation here. It is prudent that before embarking on a property development project, an Estate Surveyor and Valuer should be commissioned to carry out a pre-investment study.

 

Such a study will determine what is appropriate for a particular site as distinct from determining whether the proposed line of investment is viable.  With the Firm’s knowledge of the property market, we are in a position to advise as to what development the market would accept for a particular site.

 

Having determined what is appropriate for a site, the Firm will prepare a proper feasibility and viability study after obtaining the inputs of other professionals to determine whether the scheme, as designed, is viable or not.

G.  FACILITY MANAGEMENT

As facilities managers, we are responsible for the management of services and processes that support the core business of an organization. We ensure that an organization has the most suitable working environment for its employees and their activities.

We are involved in both strategic planning and day-to-day operations, particularly in relation to buildings and premises.
