Asset Management Support - REO

Bank REO departments, receivers and other foreclosing lenders have suddenly been thrust into the role of real-estate asset managers. They are responsible for all types of projects in many stages of development: Graded but not built, graded with construction started but not completed or graded, built and partially sold. Their most urgent needs are to understand exactly what they have, move quickly to protect it and develop an accurate budget for bringing it to completion

 

That's where the Moote Group can help. Because we are "hands-on" construction managers who work in the field every day, our team can identify potential issues or project risks that might be overlooked by asset management companies that rely solely on formulas for cost estimates. We not only estimate the project costs but also prove our budgets by bidding them and negotiating contracts on behalf of our clients. Then we take it to the next level, providing the construction management necessary to finish the project within budget and on time.

 

 


Construction Management

The consequences of not properly managing work on a land development project is over spending, months of delays, on-site safety hazards and potential lawsuits. That’s why landowners and homebuilding companies dealing with contractors need the construction management expertise offered by the Moote Group.

What we bring to the table is the inside-out knowledge of construction bids and contracts possessed by our staff, many of whom were contractors themselves. We’ll be your onsite experts in grading and erosion control, as well as installation of sewers, storm drains, potable water systems, reclaimed water systems, dry utilities and landscaping. With The Moote Group on your team, you can rest easy in the knowledge that you have a strong advocate to serve as your eyes and ears on the job site.

  • Comprehensive schedule of pre-construction activities
  • Documentation of existing field conditions
  • Management of on-site and off-site subcontractor activities on a daily basis
  • Coordination of agency inspection, testing and owner-provider services
  • Construction schedule, progress updates, final closeout, punchlist and bond exoneration

Contract Administration - Bid - Purchasing

These days, public agencies and private organizations alike have fewer resources to properly manage the bidding process for construction projects. The Moote Group’s bid administration department offers the expertise you need to make sure the bidding goes smoothly, from developing the requests for proposals all the way through construction scheduling and cost control.

We offer a proven strategy that ensures your bid requests get to all the right contractor’s and that you have enough solid information at the conclusion to award the contract to the right company. Acting as a disinterested third party, we keep the bid process "public" by disseminating all information to all parties involved. And because we are contractor based, we can develop our own cost estimates and constructability assessments for the project.

  • Bid proposals, schedule of values, documents and preparation of general and specific conditions
  • Proposals for quantities, general and specific conditions, instructions to bidders and invitations to bid
  • Administration, solicitation and monitoring of bid process
  • Review, tabulation and recommendation report on bids
  • Construction scheduling and cost control
  • Verification that all successful bidders’ public contracts submit required documents
