Construction Monitoring

CONSTRUCTION MONITORING

EAE implements multi-step Construction Monitoring for owners, developers, lenders and other financing parties. The primary objectives of our Construction Monitoring Services are to evaluate and document the progress and value of site improvements and to limit the exposure of our client through review of funding agreements and checks on financial documentation, lien waivers, and assistance with the disbursement process. EAE has provided nation-wide construction monitoring services for charter schools, many TopGolf™ facilities, large theaters, hotels, office buildings, and mixed-use developments.

Pre-Construction Services

EAE will evaluate potential risk by conducting analysis of the pre-construction project plans and specifications, review of construction scopes of work, bond document review, and a review of the cost and schedule. After EAE reviews the funding agreements, we lead a Kickoff Meeting with all the key entities on the project to clarify and summarize the Construction Monitoring process through completion of the project.

Testimonials - Construction Monitoring

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY:

I’ve worked closely with Jill, Rick and the rest of the EAE team on a significant, and growing, number of charter school financings, and have found EAE to be incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful and responsive. Jill, in particular, has a remarkable skill for looking out for the best interests of all constituencies and for bringing a brilliant clarity to the often opaque world of environmental issues. On the construction monitoring side, EAE has been invaluable in helping to establish the ‘rules of the road’ as a financing comes together and, more important, enforcing those rules and providing early warning signs to owners and lenders when it appears that trouble might be brewing at a project. I look forward to partnering with EAE on many future transactions.
