Guiding you through the complexities of construction one discussion at a time.

For organizations that don’t frequently take on development projects, a new build can quickly strain internal resources. Without a dedicated oversight team, leaders may be forced to stretch beyond their expertise or hire permanent staff—an often costly and impractical approach. The key to success lies in accurate forecasting of budgets, schedules, and logistics. Establishing these details upfront creates a clear roadmap, reduces surprises, strengthens negotiating leverage, and ensures the project progresses with confidence from design through completion.

Switchgrass Construction Advisors provides post-construction guidance to ensure owners achieve long-term success and value from their investments. Our team supports the transition from construction to operations by overseeing closeout documentation, warranty management, and final inspections, while also ensuring building systems are fully commissioned and functioning as designed. We assist owners with facility training, maintenance planning, and performance evaluations, helping identify opportunities for efficiency, cost savings, and operational improvements. By serving as a trusted advisor beyond project completion, we ensure our clients’ facilities continue to meet their goals for quality, sustainability, and functionality well into the future.

Switchgrass works hand-in-hand with the architect and construction manager to review technical budgets and align financial planning with project goals. SCA brings in-depth knowledge of financial cost review that far exceeds the typical approach. Unlike standard oversight, we rigorously analyze budgets, scrutinize line-item estimates, validate assumptions, and benchmark costs against industry standards. This level of financial expertise identifies hidden risks, uncovers potential savings, and ensures that project funds are allocated efficiently, giving Owners confidence that every dollar is strategically managed.

Switchgrass delivers comprehensive construction oversight, including quality control site observations, cost management, and schedule mitigation. Through systematic monitoring of progress, verification of compliance with design specifications, and proactive identification of potential delays, we ensure projects remain on budget, on schedule, and aligned with the Owner’s objectives. This disciplined, hands-on approach enhances accountability, minimizes risk, and supports the successful delivery of high-quality outcomes.

Switchgrass Construction Advisors provides comprehensive oversight of operations and maintenance during construction and post-occupancy. Beyond coordinating systems, equipment, and workflows during construction, we assist Owners in procuring qualified preventive maintenance contractors after project completion. By establishing reliable maintenance partnerships, we help ensure ongoing facility performance, extend the life of assets, and maintain safe, fully operational environments while protecting the Owner’s long-term investment.
