Services
From the bond campaign to the final certification
Five disciplines, one accountable firm — covering the full life of a California public-school construction program.
Service 01
Bond & Program Management
The district's challenge
A voter-approved bond arrives with both a mandate and a microscope — citizens' oversight, annual audits, and a finite pool of money that has to stretch across every promise on the ballot.
Our approach
We stand up the program office, build the financial controls, and report in the exact formats your board, your oversight committee, and the state already expect — so nothing gets lost between the ballot language and the buildings.
What we deliver
- Program setup, procedures, and document controls
- Independent Citizens' Oversight Committee (ICOC) reporting
- Cash-flow projections in OPSC / SAB format
- Budget, contingency, and program-level reporting
Service 02
Preconstruction & Estimating
The district's challenge
The decisions made before a shovel hits dirt determine whether a project lands on budget — or quietly becomes a change-order machine.
Our approach
We price the work at every milestone, pressure-test the design for constructability, and find value before it is locked into the construction documents and the DSA submittal.
What we deliver
- ROM, schematic, design-development, and DSA-approval estimates
- Value engineering with options the board can actually weigh
- Constructability and biddability review
- Bid-package and delivery-method strategy
Service 03
Construction Management
The district's challenge
Building on a live campus means the work has to happen around students, staff, and an academic calendar that does not move.
Our approach
We run the job day to day — schedule, meetings, changes, and safety — and sequence the work so that learning never stops and the district is never surprised.
What we deliver
- CPM scheduling and updates in Primavera P6
- Owner-Architect-Contractor (OAC) meeting leadership
- Change-order review and claims management
- Occupied-campus phasing, logistics, and safety
Service 04
OPSC/DSA Compliance & Funding Strategy
The district's challenge
The bond rarely covers everything, and state money is routinely left on the table by districts that don't know how to layer it.
Our approach
We treat the bond as the anchor, not the ceiling — stacking Prop 2, OPSC apportionments, deferred maintenance, and competitive grants — while keeping the program compliant from DSA approval all the way through closeout.
What we deliver
- Funding strategy layering Prop 2, OPSC, DM, and grants
- OPSC application and apportionment support
- DSA compliance through the three-step closeout
- DSA-301 certification tracking
Service 05
Project Closeout
The district's challenge
Closeout is where projects go to die — unsigned, uncertified, and financially exposed, sometimes for years after the ribbon-cutting.
Our approach
We drive the project across the finish line and through the paperwork the state actually requires to certify the project and release the funds.
What we deliver
- Punch-list management to substantial completion
- As-builts and record documents
- Warranties and O&M / systems turnover
- OPSC SAB 50-05 and DSA-301 closeout
