Our detailed approach explores pros and cons of all options and analyzes each so that clients fully understand all options available.

Our feasibility analyses give you insight into the potential benefits and costs associated with undertaking or executing a real estate development or renovation project. These analyses include:

• Space planning and utilization studies
• Cost benefit analyses
• Life cycle studies
• Return on investment calculations
• Comparative strategic analyses for real estate acquisitions, construction or development and/or renovations

LCK’s property assessments and reports are perfect tools for acquisition decisions, financial planning for capital improvements, maintenance scheduling and management and for creating real estate strategies for growth or downsizing while analyzing new construction versus renovation options.

These assessments are a coordination of comprehensive studies which explore the following:

• Analysis of structural elements
• Roofing/waterproofing
• Mechanical/electrical/life safety systems
• Environmental audits and testing for asbestos and lead-based paint
• Site conditions
• Code compliance reviews

When it comes to most companies and organizations, your projects aren’t just for now – they need to function for years, decades or even generations to come.

With LCK’s years of experience, our consulting services are a perfect solution when you need advice on how to meet current needs while maximizing your project’s long-term value.

Our team of professionals are project management subject matter experts who can augment corporate real estate teams, advise boards and committees of non-profits and work alongside owners and developers.

LCK’s clients have asked for our advice and counsel on matters for a variety of projects, including real estate development, construction, facilities planning, space planning, site selection and more.

Your project doesn’t end when construction is completed. Effective operational practices are needed to maximize its value.  LCK’s facilities and property management experts pick up where construction ends, creating continuity in project knowledge, warranty management, and best in class operations.

Along with our partner, Colliers International, we offer facilities management services for commercial, retail, industrial and multi-family real estate. Our team uses state-of-the-art technology to drive efficiency and cost savings including:

• Web-based work order management and 24/7 service center
• Property accounting using MRI software
• Web-based accounts payable processing technology

With a portfolio that is the largest of any third-party management firm in South Carolina, LCK and Colliers have a seasoned staff of over 70 facilities management and maintenance professionals.

One of our key methods for keeping construction projects on time and on budget is regular work-in-progress inspections.

First, we conduct thorough reviews of the project’s documents, contracts, insurance, environmental studies and more, then provide a comprehensive report about the adequacy of the documents to represent the project.

Subsequently, our project managers conduct site inspections and recommend approval or adjustment of contractors’ payment applications. We then use these inspections to give you a thorough progress report every month along with the payment applications.

Our inspection services are perfect for our project management clients, as well as lending institutions and private developers.
