Taplen Commercial Construction

Taplen Commercial Construction Development Management Services Summary Taplen’s development management Clients are those who:  Want to develop a property, either owned or to be purchased, and need professional assistance to realize their vision.  Do not have the time or in-house capacity to develop the project themselves.  Have the equity resources to acquire or build a property but are struggling to get construction financing because they do not have the required presentation or implementation experience.  Started the development process, however they are stalled because of the extensive processes and attention required and want to reenergize and accelerate the timeline. Why engage Taplen as a Development Manager (DM)? Does it matter if it is a Development Manager leading your first or next build as opposed to an architect, planner, or constructor? Yes, the difference is significant! Architects and planners focus only on the limited design aspects of the project that they are most familiar with. They typically defer to city officials (predominantly urban planners, transportation engineers, servicing folks, environmental technocrats, etc.) often resulting in a building whose form and function will be prescribed by “experts” but does not take into consideration other important aspects of a development such as HABU (highest and best use), ROI, cap rates, aesthetics, energy efficiency, occupants comfort, functional programming, community fit, animation strategies, etc. The DM will form a team that takes all these into consideration and to create the best possible product that will make a real impact and achieve the Client’s long-term goals. Many projects suffer extended design timelines or implementation delays because the design team lacks knowledgeable leadership and management skills to handle the design development process cohesively. Engaging Taplen as the DM to create and manage an effective design team can shorten the process by weeks or even months
