Land development project management can be complex. Context By Design is experienced and capable of managing your land development project or your land development consultant team. We have successfully managed many projects from inception through construction as either a stand-alone consultant or project team leader.

Assembling the right team is the foundation of a successful, trouble-free project. Context By Design can identify and recommend the right team members for your project based upon the project’s needs and your personal style. We feel it is important for you to be comfortable with the people involved in your project so communication flows easily and subsequently, you get the result you want. We can also assist you in negotiating consultant or contractor services.

Context By Design will work with you to identify project tasks and set the project schedule. To keep you at ease, we will coordinate with the design team to maintain project momentum and achieve milestones. We will keep you apprised of project progress and any issues that arise.

You will have as much input as you like. You can attend every meeting and make on-going decisions or we can be the buffer between you and contractors. As the project progresses Context By Design can act as your agent and facilitate any required permitting, again buffering you from on-the-spot decision-making.

Only, this time, from regulators rather than contractors. Upon receiving permit approval, we will advertise your project to interested bidders, or invited bidders, based on your preference, and administer the bidding process. At your election, we are also available to manage the construction phase of the project.
