JAS’ commitment to deliver projects on time and within budget means we proactively monitor the contractor’s schedule and budget by managing project documentation, including correspondence and submittals, and overseeing work in place to ensure that it complies with the contract documents, schedule, and quality standards. We closely monitor contract costs to ensure that the project remains within budget.

Our experts identify methods and materials, direct and indirect, to maximize property and land improvements that qualify for accelerated tax depreciation deductions. JAS manages the design and construction process of any capital project and provides detailed records of facts and circumstances to support an accurate cost segregation report so our clients can take advantage of depreciation tax deductions.

JAS focuses on energy consumption in order to provide cost savings for our clients. In a broad review of energy utilization, particularly in the area of lighting, we target wasted kilowatt-hours (kWh). By identifying systems and conservation measures that exceed ASHRE standards, we provide our clients with information that results in reduced energy costs as well as tax deductions, and State and local utility cash incentives. We apply for those incentives on behalf of our clients and ensure that they receive maximum rebates.

JAS utilizes a budget conscience design development risk mitigation methodology. The most cost effective cost management approach is to identify budget risk during the design process. Working side by side with the architect and engineers to develop a comprehensive set of drawings, we can pre-plan the construction process, site logistics and cost estimates. Our process delineates lines of communication, authority of parties, dispute resolution procedures, personnel requirements, schedules, budgets and client administrative requirements. JAS maintains a proactive approach to team oversight, contractual obligations and communication.

Moving a business or a facility requires complex planning, coordination and careful execution, particularly where critical operations must be maintained. JAS minimizes organizational downtime by providing planning, scheduling, budgeting and coordination services.

Negotiating a commercial lease is a complex process – whether the lease is for office, warehouse, or retail space and whether the term is an initial lease or renewal. Negotiation requires research, due diligence and a clear understanding of the client’s business needs, resources and goals. JAS provides comprehensive real estate studies to identify potential sites. We build technical teams, identify possible construction and capital concessions and negotiate the financial terms.
