Since our founding in 2016, NAVIGATE Building Solutions has had a single mission: to provide best-in-class owner's representative, project management, and construction management (CMa) services. To date we have helped hundreds of clients achieve their project objectives. From initial planning through close-out, NAVIGATE Advisors have the skills, knowledge, and experience necessary to successfully deliver your project on time, within budget, and in accordance with your objectives.
Our focus on the finer details ensures that every aspect of the project meets the highest standards of quality, from planning through completion.
Whether you are starting with a clear directive or just a potential opportunity, NAVIGATE Building Solutions can lead the process of understanding the feasibility of your proposed project. Our Advisors will help you navigate the process, define your objectives, evaluate sites and existing buildings, analyze your program and space needs, create accurate budget and schedule projections, and build a road map for future financing, public referendums and project approvals.

When asked how to best build a new facility, today’s Owners are exposed to more available project approaches than ever before. Determining which is right for you can be a complicated and often confusing experience. NAVIGATE Building Solutions will walk you through an objective analysis of the available approaches and determine which is best for you. Some of the more common approaches include:
· Traditional Design-Bid-Build
· Design Build
· Construction Management at Risk (CMaR)
· Construction Management Advisor (CMa)
· Performance Contracting

Every project involves dozens of consultants, vendors, and contractors. Many Owners are kept up at night wondering whether they got a fair deal and if they followed all the procurement requirements of their funding source. NAVIGATE will work with you to meticulously cross all the “T’s” and dot all the “I’s.” We will also ensure you procure design and construction services in a fair, transparent, and equitable manner, and at the same time get the best value for your investment. Our advisors prepare Scope of Work statements, Request for Qualifications and Proposals, and selection criteria all in strict accordance with local and State Statutes (for public clients) and funding source requirements (for private clients). After helping you make your final consultant selections, we then work with your legal team to negotiate fair and equitable contracts that work for you and limit your risk.

Once you have determined your project approach and selected the team, we will embark with you on the preconstruction phase of project. NAVIGATE Building Solutions will be directly responsible and lead all project matters during this period. This includes, but is not limited to: project design, budget control, schedule management, move planning, user group and stakeholder interface, sustainability planning, operational impact analysis, diversity planning, long lead item procurement, executive board presentations, agency approvals, and contractor bidding. As an extension of your staff, you can be confident NAVIGATE Building Solutions has the right expertise and experience to ensure project success.

During construction, NAVIGATE Building Solutions will be an extension of your staff, and as such will take the lead on all project matters. We are experts at managing contractors, shielding owners from project risks, and ensuring buildings are constructed in a quality manner.
As construction comes to an end our team maintains focus. We assist with project closeout, punchlists, and warranty transfers while also coordinating owner-direct contracts for furniture, phone, IT, security, and AV installations. Once the building is ready for move in, NAVIGATE Advisors may support move-in activities and final operational training.
We only count projects as done when they are occupied and fully functional!
