Construction Phase

Prior to the commencement of construction, we work with experienced professionals to prepare architectural and engineering drawings, surveys, appraisals and environmental reports. In addition, we perform an exhaustive entitlement review including all applicable zoning and building codes.
NPL negotiates contracts and fees aggressively, and actively manages the quality and timeliness of the work on each component of a project.
We coordinate every aspect of the design and construction process and do each of the following:

• Define the scope of work for all designers, contractors and other team members
• Select and oversee all consultants, contractors, architects, and others
• Monitor the budget and the schedule
• Manage all financial aspects of a project
• Apply to, and comply with requirements of public funding and financing programs
• Coordinate with board of directors
• Close out the project.

After carefully integrating school program and building /zoning code needs into the property, we confirm project budgets and schedules via competitive bidding. Construction commences upon loan closing, with completion typically coming between 60 to 180 days (depending on the scope of the renovations or other work involved with the project), well in advance of school commissioning and opening.
