Services

AWA’s philosophy is to understand each client’s business. We approach every project from the owner’s perspective to find new revenue opportunities and increase the project ROI. As we engage these philosophies, we bring value to the client while maintaining a high standard of quality for the project.

We provide turn-key services from conception through construction, to aid the client throughout the project.  We provide these services through our own professional staff and our highly qualified consultant-partners.

We believe in a team-coordinated concept with the owner, architect, and consultants. Together we can assure the client of the highest quality design and documents.

Land Development Consulting

Our staff has extensive experience, in real estate development.

Through this experience we can assist owners/developers with all of their real estate transactions. AWA aids in reviewing and/or preparing development agreements, CC&R’s and other required documents for a real estate transaction.

Due Diligence and Feasibility Studies

AWA provides detailed observations, research, and technical inspections as needed for the due diligence of the project. This is accomplished through our turn-key approach with in-house professionals. AWA also contracts with additional consultants as necessary, such as geotechnical engineers, environmental engineers, wetland consultants, building inspectors, title companies, etc.

We conduct a zoning analysis for the project’s intended use. We prepare detailed project schedules and cost estimates to assist the client through the project. We determine the infrastructure required for the development and determine the costs associated with them. This due diligence process is then compiled into feasibility studies and analysis that aid the client in determining if the project meets their goals.

AWA coordinates these efforts with other members of the development team such as the market analyst, real estate attorney, brokers, title companies, etc.

During the planning process we meet with the local agencies, prepare necessary documents, master plans, renderings, and reports. We provide comprehensive client representation at all essential meetings to obtain the planning approvals.

As the project continues, we manage the entitlement process, through to the end.
