Prior to being engaged as NJPA’s Owner’s Rep, our first step was to explore and understand their challenges by conducting a needs assessment to analyze their utilization of existing space.  We then helped the Board and Executive Committee focus on optimizing their real estate to ensure all existing spaces were working their hardest for NJPA.  We also assisted the leadership team in analyzing options to buy an existing building; leasing an existing community office building; constructing a new building on a green site or expanding the existing corporate headquarters.  Together, we dissected, interpreted and presented findings for internal consideration.

Upon completion of our analysis, NJPA engaged ORB as their Owner’s Rep to manage and administer the implementation of a 30,000 square foot headquarter expansion.  Standing at their side through all phases provided NJPA peace of mind and confident that they had the necessary strategic project leadership in place to deliver a successful project.  We were always there protecting NJPA’s interest from an objective and key coordination role.  From design and construction team member solicitation, selection and management; contract review, negotiations and administration; and facilitating establishment of the project GMP to analyzing design and construction team cost estimates, leveling and value engineering proposals; administering the master budget and total project costs; developing, implementing and managing the master project schedule and facilitating the project closeout and turnover…we were there.
