Whether it’s a ground up new build or leasehold improvements on a leased space or anything in between, construction projects are complicated — and have a lot of moving parts. It is vital that the components of a construction project are taken care of properly to ensure a successful project. That’s why it is important to have an experienced project team that can include an architect, engineer, general contractor and lender.
