Overview

What We Do

As Project Managers, Build’M brings structure and accountability to a complex and often unclear process. We convey clarity and confidence from start to finish. We can manage the entire process or tailor our scope to your specific needs, with the goal of getting your project open on time and on budget. By helping control time, cost, and communication, we give you the freedom to focus on some of the things that matter most, like marketing, operations, and hiring.

Strategic Execution

Build’M utilizes an innovative software platform to track time and cost allocation, giving clients full visibility and control across every phase of the project lifecycle. Our involvement begins the moment a deal is signed and continues through the successful opening of each location. Our focus on your project allows our clients to focus on what matters most: building teams, driving pre-launch momentum, and setting the foundation for long-term success.

Our End-to-End Process

How We Do It

From site selection to final closeout, Build’M manages every stage of your project’s lifecycle:

Site Selection

We support the real estate brokers to
make sure sites align with brand criteria and deal point economics.

Space Planning

Our team will facilitate test fits to ensure the space meets operational and brand requirements.

Pre-Lease Due Diligence

We review work letters and lease terms in order to identify and mitigate any potential project cost and timing implications.

Pre-Construction

We oversee design and permitting,
facilitate procurement, assist in lending/finance and execute the bid process and contractor award.

Construction

We oversee the contractor and their schedule, manage invoices and change orders, and provide weekly progress reports.

Post-Construction

We manage the punch list, secure the Certificate of Occupancy, collect contractor closeout docs, and tenant improvement reimbursement is received.

Since having Build’M join our team, our experience has been great. They are able to manage our projects with the attention to detail, constant follow up and clear communication that is required. They have kept the team on task and on time. We can’t say enough about their persistence to track down answers and resolve any issues.

AJ and Eric

The Build’M team was awesome! I never felt like I was kicking my tires with them, even during waiting periods they maintained a continuous line of communication with me and provided consistent updates. They were extremely resilient and whenever we encountered a challenge they were on it right away and came up with creative solutions at every opportunity. I look forward to working with them in the future!

Kai N.

I highly recommend REP’M – project managers kept my project on time, filled in for me when I couldn’t be on project calls, took care of all ordering and timing of construction and furniture needs and explained the process effectively and efficiently every step of the way. They also saved me money when the opportunity presented itself. Communication
was A++!

Shannon B.

Outstanding experience! The Build’M team was amazing. She kept tabs on everything and made sure every party involved followed through on their commitments and responsibilities, including yours truly, the owner! I would have lost my mind if I had attempted to save a few bucks and manage this on my own. Thank you, REP’M / Build’M!

Scott M.
