Key Differences

How Expert Real Estate Advisory Differs From a Typical Project Approach

Complex ground-up and repositioning projects need more than basic brokerage and ad-hoc project management. Our advisory & development management model changes how decisions are made from day one.

Traditional Approach

Decision Making
Reactive. Key decisions happen late, after issues surface.
Risk Visibility
Minimal. Risks appear only when they impact cost or schedule.
Cost Control
Budget set once, managed passively. Value engineering happens too late.
Schedule Management
Only milestones tracked. No integration of entitlements, design, or financing.
Design & Stakeholder Coordination
Disconnected teams. Info scattered across emails and separate reports.
Impact of Issues
Higher costs, delayed delivery, and unpleasant surprises for investors.

Our Model

Decision Making
Proactive. Options modeled early with clear impacts.
Risk Visibility
Full risk register across entitlements, market, design, and delivery.
Cost Control
Program, design, and budget kept aligned with early VE and procurement.
Schedule Management
One integrated schedule linking approvals, financing, design, and construction.
Design & Stakeholder Coordination
Single point of coordination with structured reporting.
Impact of Issues
Fewer surprises, faster decisions, and predictable delivery.

The difference between a traditional approach and integrated advisory is felt in every phase—lower risk, clearer decisions, and projects that perform to the business plan instead of fighting it.

Our Real Estate Advisory & Development Management Process

Our process is built around a simple idea: early decisions have the highest influence on cost and risk — and that influence drops as the project moves into construction.

Vision, Feasibility & Risk Framing

We start by understanding your business case, target returns, stakeholders, and constraints.

Market positioning and preliminary pro forma review
High-level program and density options
Early risk mapping (entitlements, site conditions, infrastructure, community, cost, schedule)
Go/no-go and phasing strategies

Entitlement, Zoning & Pre-Development Strategy

Before you lock in design, we help you secure the right to build the right project.

Zoning and land use analysis
Entitlement roadmap and approvals strategy
Coordination with municipalities and agencies
Community and stakeholder impact considerations

Design & Consultant Team Management

We assemble and coordinate the right design and consultant team to deliver on the vision.

RFPs, interviews, and recommendations for architects, engineers, and key consultants
Owner’s design standards and project brief
Design reviews focused on constructability, cost, and operational performance
Iterative coordination to minimize late-stage changes

Buy-Side Support & Project Controls

As the project moves toward buy-out, we protect your interests on the buy-side:

Assistance with procurement strategy and contract structures
Review of GMPs, alternates, allowances, and contingencies
Integration with schedule and cash flow projections
Risk registers and mitigation plans aligned with your pro forma

Execution Oversight & Completion

Once underway, we make sure the project is built as intended — and that you stay in control.

Oversight of construction progress against schedule and budget
Participation in OAC / coordination meetings
Monitoring of quality, changes, and claims
Preparation for commissioning, handover, and stabilization

Post-completion review to capture lessons learned and performance data

What Misaligned Decisions Actually Cost You

When a project lacks the right advisory and development management, the real cost is trapped capital, delayed approvals, and assets that miss their business plan. Weak entitlements, design drift, or timing mistakes can erode yield and extend hold periods.

Strategic Underwriting

Realistic rents, real risk.

Entitlement Control

Approvals mapped, delays reduced.

Program Discipline

No scope creep drift.

Delivery & Exit

Timing aligned with returns.

Protecting Your Capital From Day One.

Development Types We Manage

A flexible advisory approach for a variety of real estate strategies.

Typical Projects & Use Cases

HSE’s real estate advisory & development management expertise is especially valuable on complex, high-stakes development programs, such as:

High-rise mixed-use and multifamily towers: Where entitlement complexity, investor expectations, and construction logistics make risk management critical.
Large-scale repositioning and adaptive reuse: Converting older office or industrial buildings into modern, efficient, future-ready assets.
Transit-oriented and master-planned developments: Multi-building programs where phasing, infrastructure, and community integration must be sequenced carefully.
Hospitality, mission-critical, and specialty facilities: Projects where uptime, guest experience, and operational readiness are non-negotiable.
Institutional and corporate portfolios: Ensuring consistent standards, procurement, and risk management across multiple sites or asset categories.

Decision-Ready Insights. Aligned Delivery.

We focus on tangible, decision-ready outputs that keep owners, developers, lenders, and design teams aligned from day one.
Our deliverables are built to reduce uncertainty, clarify choices, and keep every part of the development process moving in the right direction.

Development Roadmaps Clear sequencing of key decisions, approvals, milestones, and risk triggers.
Entitlement & Risk Briefs Concise summaries of regulatory pathways, expected hurdles, and recommended mitigation steps.
Owner’s Project Requirements & Design Briefs Translating business objectives into structured direction for architects, engineers, and contractors.
Cost / Schedule Risk Overviews Dashboards connecting budget, phasing, procurement, and schedule drivers to highlight where risk is accumulating.
Governance & Meeting Structures Templates for design coordination, OAC sessions, and executive updates so information flows correctly and decisions are documented.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about data center scheduling services

At what stage should we bring HSE into a project?

Ideally, as early as possible — during feasibility, site selection, or entitlement strategy. Early engagement lets us influence risk while it’s still inexpensive to address, and set up the right team, structure, and roadmap.

Do you only work on large, nine-figure projects?

No. While our team has managed portfolios and developments worth billions, we also support mid-sized projects where complexity, risk, or visibility is high — such as urban infill, adaptive reuse, or specialized facilities.

How is this different from traditional construction management or a general contractor’s services?

General contractors and CMs are focused on delivering construction. Our advisory and development management work is owner-side and lifecycle-oriented — spanning feasibility, entitlements, design, buy-side evaluation, and execution oversight. We help you decide what to build, how to structure it, and how to keep control.

Can you work with our existing architect and GC?

Yes. We frequently step into projects with established design and construction teams. Our role is to align everyone around the project’s business goals, reduce friction, and bring structure to the way decisions are made and tracked.

How do your services integrate with BIM and scheduling?

HSE has deep roots in CPM scheduling and BIM-driven coordination. When engaged together, our real estate advisory and development management services are backed by detailed time, phasing, and coordination intelligence — providing a stronger basis for risk and value decisions.

What do you need from us to get started?

Typically: high-level project details, any existing studies or drawings, your early pro forma or business case, and clarity on stakeholders. From there, we’ll propose a tailored scope aligned with your risk profile and timelines.

Do you offer one-time reviews or only full lifecycle management?

We can do both. Some clients engage us for a focused due diligence or entitlement review; others prefer a full lifecycle engagement from concept through completion.
