BUILD’M
Project Management
Real Estate | Construction
Build’M takes the complexity out of opening new locations. From the moment a deal is signed to the day doors open, our team manages every detail—from site selection, design, permitting, pre-construction and construction—so you can focus on growth.
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.

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!

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++!

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!
