One practice. Engaged at any stage.
Every Endira service is the same discipline, senior and independent judgement on the client’s side, applied at a different point in your project. Bring us in at acquisition and stay to final account, or engage us for the stage where you need it most.
Development Management
Before you commit capital, you need to know what the site will really cost and how long it will really take. We run feasibility and technical due diligence, set the budget and programme, select and appoint the consultant team, and coordinate planning and permitting with the Town and local specialists.
Engage: pre-acquisition to design brief. · Fee: fixed, scoped at engagement.
Design Management
Errors are cheapest to fix on paper. We review the design for buildability, coordinate the consultants, benchmark cost and lock the specification before tender, closing the gaps that would otherwise surface on site as RFIs, change orders and delay.
Engage: design development, ideally. · Fee: fixed, $15K–$100K CAD in three formats.
Design Management in detail →Owner’s Representative
Your authority on site while you run the business from somewhere else. Budget control, programme management, change control, contractor oversight and reporting you can act on. Three tiers, scaled to how much control you want.
Engage: pre-construction to end of defects. · Fee: 0.5–5% of construction cost, billed as a fixed monthly retainer.
Owner’s Representative in detail →Contract Administration
A payment certificate is only worth something if the certifier has nothing riding on the number. We administer CCDC contracts impartially: valuations, variations, extensions of time and final account, assessed on the evidence and fairly between the parties.
Available on its own for clients with their own project team, or included in the Manage and Direct tiers of Owner’s Representative.
Engage: contract award to final account. · Fee: fixed, scoped at engagement.
Project Monitoring & Technical Due Diligence
For lenders, investors and purchasers funding a project they are not running. Independent review of cost, programme, quality and draw requests, with reporting based on what is happening on site, not on what you are told.
Engage: before funding, then monthly through construction. · Fee: fixed, scoped at engagement.
What we don’t do.
We do not build, we do not design, and we do not hold trade contracts. We are not construction managers. We are engaged by the client and paid by the client, in every role.
That boundary is what keeps our advice clean. It is also why we can tell you plainly when something on your project is going wrong.
Not sure which stage you need?
Tell us where the project is. We’ll tell you honestly where independent oversight earns its fee, and where it doesn’t.
