Why COR Consulting for your Project?
We start with our Client’s needs – The first step is for COR to analyze what the Client needs, including use, size of parcel, site planning, transportation accessibility, amenities, and economic factors.
We assemble the right team – COR is committed to provide independent, comprehensive, and professional Owner Representation services to all of our Clients. We organize the project resources as part of a Team approach. The Client’s interests and the well being of our Client’s facilities and investment are our prime responsibility.
We are in the zone – whether it is for a single end-user or multi-acre development COR will analyze the zoning regulations and seek approvals depending on the project requirements.
We know what questions to ask - COR will be sure the project goes through the proper due-diligence investigation of: geological testing of the soil conditions; environmental assessments; wetland delineation; traffic impact studies; detention parameters; utilities - location and capacity; both municipal and state regulations; and both existing and potential infrastructure required.
Land, Investigations, and Approvals are the first step – Once COR assists a Client in obtaining the necessary approvals and the land is secured, COR will assist in finding a qualified contractor and manage the construction insuring the project is completed on time and on budget.
