OWNER REPRESENTATION

Construction projects can be exceptionally challenging. Without the appropriate oversight, these projects can spiral out of control, costing ownership time, money and unnecessary stress.
 “At LGC, we pride ourselves on mitigating the time and cost overruns while providing ownership with the peace of mind they deserve.”

“In 2023 our building was tasked with completing our 50-year recertification in Broward County, Florida.  The first thing we did was hire an engineer… this was our first mistake. We should have hired LGC first.  We have a 16-story beachfront condominium; and our project involved concrete restoration, painting, new roofing, pool deck waterproofing, architectural landscaping, and other unforeseen conditions. I would never take on a project like this without an Owner Rep Project Manager, and my first and only choice would be LGC.  

LGC has the tools to ensure the scope of work is properly defined and any out-of-scope repairs are properly vetted and fairly priced.  Many conversations were had to discuss the best methods and least intrusive process for our homeowners.  As our Owner Representative, and advocate for the homeowners, LGC has made this project a success.”

 

Jaime De La Vega 

Board President, Wittington Condominium 

“From a Property Manager’s perspective, LGC has been invaluable for the duration of our extensive concrete restoration project and beyond. From the very beginning, during the vetting process, they demonstrated the team’s wide-range experience compared to the other firms who were interviewed. One of the key reasons we hired an Owner Rep was to keep the contractor, subcontractors, and engineers honest, and LGC has accomplished this task 100%.

The Principal, George Strom, has kept our budget numbers in perspective with constant updates on scope creep and its subsequent impact on the overall financials. From pay applications to change orders, every line item has been scrutinized for duplications, errors, and even omissions.

The team LGC employs are top-notch construction experts with a vast array of knowledge and resources. Carlos Marques, Project Executive, is our onsite representative. His ability to see a problem or issue before it becomes one is truly a gift. Solutions are presented before the problem exists.

LGC has provided us with onsite management and administrative assistance to keep our project records concise and our community informed every step of the way. From what to expect, to schedules and closures, they keep everyone up to date. Weekly construction meetings, town hall meetings, and daily interactions with residents are the multiple venues for the information to flow. They are always available to meet with residents to update them on the progress of the project and calm their concerns.

If I ever have another large project, LGC will be my go-to!”

“Development and construction are never easy. In my experience, the key attributes for a successful project are having a knowledgeable partner managing the process, with a consistent approach and whom you can trust – and this is what we have found working with LaGreca. They are far more than an owners rep, they are a true extension of our team.”

Alex Macedo

CEO, Fat Tuesday

“I have had the pleasure of working directly and collaborating extensively with George Strom on several commercial high-rise restoration projects.  George is an absolute asset to the construction team.  His positive energy, tirelessness, critical thinking, wealth of knowledge and impeccable attention to detail reflect in his daily output resulting in our mutual clients quickly developing great respect for him.  Simply put, George takes utmost pride in his work and it shows; any construction project would be better off by having him there.”

Ramses Tur

Project Manager, Pro Max

“James LaGreca, Jennifer Smith, and George Strom worked with us as project managers on a complex $15 million condo renovation project, including new windows and doors and concrete restoration. They are professional, knowledgeable and  solution-oriented.  They know how to deal with difficult stakeholders. I would not hesitate to work with them on any project, complex or simple.”

Komal Bhojwani

Board President, Mirador

“Fat Tuesday brought LGC in as a trusted partner and team member, they exceeded our expectations. LGC was able to quickly mobilize, understand the opportunities and put a program in place, with incredible precision and speed. I highly recommend LGC, without them, we would not have been successful in Designing, Permitting and Building 20+ stores per year!”

Lawrence Brown

Fat Tuesday Chief Development Officer

“It is my pleasure to personally recommend the Management Team at LGC.  I have had the pleasure of working directly with James, Jenn, and George on several complex structural restoration projects, all of which were professionally managed and executed from the start to the finish.  Their attention to detail and knowledge of the construction process ensures excellent communications, on time completions, and on point budgets.  This team of problem solvers shows an uncanny ability to foresee a potential hurdle and essentially “nips it in the bud” which ultimately saves the Owner money and prevents unexpected obstacles from delaying project milestones.”
