EVERGREEN ADVANTAGE
GET TO KNOW USland development
One of the biggest advantages Evergreen has is having a master developer on board. Our master developer started over 30 years ago and is one of the most well-respected home builders in British Columbia. Evergreens real estate asset management is focused on pre-development land in the path of growth. Evergreen’s investment approach has multiple phases, including identifying the right parcel of land for acquisition, syndicating the land through investment structures, managing the land during its hold period and ultimately divesting of the land for a projected overall profit.
This unique way to hold, own, manage and monetize land assets makes us attractive to partner with best in class local, regional and national developers and builders.
TRANSFORMING RAW LAND INTO SMART INVESTMENTS
With Evergreens latest venture, our investment team has created wealth opportunities through land investments, which have traditionally been available only to institutional investors.
Evergreen invests in prime market locations and focuses on providing builders with a steady supply of finished lots at competitive prices. The firm targets acquisition of raw land with entitlements in place or nearly in place which Evergreem develops in-house, and sells to homebuilders and other developers.
Project Management – Onsite Supervision
Each project team consists of a full-time project superintendent on the site all day every day, a project manager in the office who organizes the paperwork and finances, and a project executive who oversees the whole process to ensure directly that Evergreen is meeting the client’s expectations.
The project manager and supervisor initially meet with the chief estimator and project executive to gain a full understanding of the scope, schedule and budget of a new project. The next step is to review guidelines for the respective clients’ expectations and preferences in regard to communication, decision-making, approvals and daily operations.
They discuss any concerns they may have and agree on the best approach to building out the project. The project manager writes out the scope of work, outlining the subcontractors, contractors and details involved. They will study the lead times for materials and confirms their availability. They meet with the building department to determine their requirements for permits and various inspections leading up to and concluding with the certificate of occupancy. Based on this gathering of information, the project manager develops a detailed schedule of work including deadlines for final decisions on various aspects of the project. The project managers are constantly shifting gears and managing priorities, troubleshooting and forecasting with the big picture always in mind as well as the priorities that were established at the onset of the project.
The procedures for beginning a project are systematic: Project manager begins with prepping the site, studying the infrastructure where the project is staged, and assembling the team of craftsmen that is going to build the house. The project manager evaluates the scope of the job, the plans, the manpower needed, and the skills required to get the job done. Project managers are also the go-to for the professional team members for a particular job, such as interior designers, lighting designers, structural engineers, mechanical engineers, civil engineers, geo-technical people and landscape architects.
Post-Completion
The Evergreen Care team is readily available and is familiar with the scope of projects. As the homeowner takes over and the building team exits, Evergreen Care team is able to provide ongoing maintenance and support. They are readily available to help the client adjust and adapt to the home they have built and fully understand in a familiar way what needs to be done to run the house.
The Evergreen Care team may be introduced at the completion of a project, but they are available to be called in at any time, even years later. They have access to the resources needed to maintain the house, and it just takes one phone call. We are more than happy to consult with clients to determine their needs and assist their plans for the home as time goes on.
Service contracts and warranties cover equipment if it fails prematurely, but just like changing the oil in your car, the systems themselves will need regular adjustments from time to time to keep them properly functioning. Clients will learn how to comfortably operate these systems and control internal and external environments to adapt to seasonality.
Some clients have work that they want completed right away. The Evergreen Care team is a single point of contact to clients that need follow up on anything at all with a house. They have the history of each project and an understanding of every aspect of how the house operates, how it was built and how they can add to it. Or they can manage multiple projects.
Safety
Our site supervisors and project managers works diligently to train and remind all Evergreen and trade partner employees of the vital importance of practicing safety at all times on our construction sites. We direct, develop and oversee the general health and safety policies and procedures of the company. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that the company and all construction projects are in compliance with provincial, local and construction-specific regulations, and that safety audits are regularly conducted.
Project managers visit job sites regularly, based on the hazards associated with the current activity on a given job. At the onset of a new project, more visits are required, such as monthly meetings with an insurance representative or reviews with inspectors and supervisors to evaluate worksite conditions.
A major effort is put into working with our subcontractors to make sure they understand how to better their compliance with provincial and local safety regulations. Supervisors keep a keen eye on sites especially at times of intense productivity, overseeing safety so that the superintendent can focus on orchestrating the work. We ensure that our commitment to safety is never compromised.
We also bring in advisers to train our teams on safety measures such as respiratory protection, scaffolding, fall protection, personal protective equipment, and anything that could be hazardous to our health. Project managers make sure that our teams are certified and in compliance with regulations so that they are managing the handling of materials and situations properly on site.
