Consulting
A developer’s eye
on your project.
Katz Development takes on consulting engagements for owners who need a developer’s perspective, not an advisor’s. We can step in at any stage of the project.
How We Work
We consult the way we develop: embedded, accountable, and oriented toward the end result. That means running OACs, managing the design and pricing process, building and pressure-testing financial models, and helping owners think clearly about what they’re building and why.
The difference between a developer and a consultant is that we do this same work on our own projects. We’re not advising from a distance. We’re executing in the same environment, against the same market, with the same contractors and agencies.
We can step into a single phase or take a project from concept through completion.

Services
Project & Design Management
Management of the development process from design kick-off through construction close-out. We run OACs, coordinate architects and consultants, track schedules and budgets, and keep the project moving.
Concept Development & Programming
