DUE DILIGENCE

Real Estate Reconnaissance - If you're a Real Estate Investor, you know the traffic demands and public resources needed for your new construction or gentrification project. GFN helps investors by vetting property for development potential. You'll likely need coordination with public officials, traffic data, zoning or HOA requirements, utility access, flood data, drainage, infrastructure, and site impact studies such as Superfund sites or wetlands delineation. We can also provide conceptual layouts and feasibility studies, so that you can make informed decisions.

Project Controls - Loss of project control is typically non-recoverable, and always expensive. GFN has managed multi-million-dollar projects from start to finish as the owner's representative, assuring that projects stay on schedule, within budget and comply with specifications. Construction Management generally includes confirming permits, bid lettings, vetting contractors and materials, progress meetings, field inspections, construction photos, progress reports, material test reports, comms tracking, RFI's, change orders, inspection punch lists and project close-out.  

Disaster Recovery - When flood, wind, fire or accident damage occurs, GFN can help get damaged facilities back in operation. Whether it's damage to structures or civil infrastructure,  GFN can document and assess the extent of material damage, evaluate mitigation methods, propose retrofit options, provide engineer's estimates, coordinate with adjusters and contractors, and provide a report of finding to insurance carriers. We also provide feasibility studies to determine the best options for retrofit or reconstruction.

Forensic Consulting - We know that claims and litigation frequently arise over civil issues such as construction defects, breach of contract, liquidated damages, jobsite accidents, roadway accidents, railroad crossings, flood disasters, and structural foundation failures. GFN has assisted with discovery, analyses, reports, pleadings and testimony as needed in hundreds of civil disputes since the mid-1990's. Professionally licensed in 12 states, we are familiar with the professional standards of care for engineering and construction across the United States.
