Construction & Development Services

Crisafulli Associates is a fully integrated real estate development, construction and property management firm with a strong reputation for quality. Our firm is routinely hired by other developers and owners of commercial real estate because not only do we bring a strong construction skillset, one that has been built on decades of experience, but we bring the expertise of a developer and property manager. While most general contracting and construction management firms bring a one dimensional skillset of being able to follow an owner’s plans and specifications, we add value by guiding our clients into making design decisions that maximize return on investment and management efficiencies upon completion. We know because we build, own and manage and our value is added the strongest the earlier a client engages us in their process.

Our third party construction and development services include the following

Pre-Development: We assist clients in the site selection and due diligence phases of developing real estate development projects. We help our clients determine if properties are viable in terms of zoning, title, wetlands, soil conditions, traffic, utilities, stormwater, historical significance and wildlife considerations as well as a number of other factors that are often overlooked by inexperienced land developers when assessing and contemplating purchasing a property.

Pre-Construction: We help our clients select the best design professionals to assist in their projects. We oversee and manage civil engineers, architects and other design professionals to ensure the client’s plans are being designed as practical and as efficient as possible. While plans are being developed we are constantly providing and updating construction budgets to our client’s to help them make the best design decisions during the design stage. While design professionals specialize in their respective fields, they do not often times understand budgets, construction and property management. Without the help of an experienced developer, constructor and property manager, design professionals and inexperienced owners often create plans that are unnecessarily expensive and or not practical from a leasing and management perspective.

Construction:  Having assisted our clients during the development and design phases we turn to our construction expertise to develop final project budgets and project schedules. Utilizing decades of experience, experienced project managers, site superintendents and qualified subcontractors we deliver on time and on budget to our clients. We believe the construction business functions best when a general contractor fosters strong relationships with the best subcontractors and carries a strong reputation for fairness to all parties involved. Our clients benefit from our experience, integrity and our demand for quality.

Areas of Expertise: We specialize in the design and development of the following project types: Multifamily, industrial, medical office and general office. We are brought in to assist in both new construction and renovation projects.
