How pricing is set

The review comes first

Each project starts with a preliminary review. After it you receive a defined scope, the project fee and the payment structure before work begins.

  • business type and how it will operate
  • property location
  • zoning and previous use
  • lease status
  • planned improvements
  • licensing requirements
  • expected inspections
  • the municipal approval process
  • extra land-use or professional requirements

Not included

Paid separately

  • government application and filing fees
  • municipal permit and inspection fees
  • architectural and engineering services
  • legal services
  • accounting and tax services
  • environmental consulting
  • contractor and construction costs
  • surveys, plans, reports and other third-party professional work

Business Project Management coordinates the process but does not perform services that need a separate professional license.

Commercial real estate

Property search, site acquisition and lease negotiation are available as a separate brokerage service under its own agreement.
