Our Process
Discovery
Understanding your real estate: Our relationship will commence with an in-depth review of your current real estate holdings and agreements. A full summary will depict where the priorities lie relative to timing and operational strategy standpoint.
Understanding your business: A synopsis will be developed based upon a full review of your business plan for the near term and into the foreseeable future, outlining expansion, contraction and /or mergers and acquisitions.
Identifying the chain of command: Our services will require feedback, input and approvals at various times, some of which may be time sensitive. We suggest a direct line of communication be established with the person or people responsible for the financial, real estate, workplace, culture, capital budget and overall operational leadership. Let’s refer to this person or persons as the Leadership Team. You are hiring ProPath Advisors to develop and execute a strategic real estate plan; we want to be highly efficient with the time of any and all of your corporate leadership.
Developing Our Plan
Upon completion of the Discovery period, we will develop a strategic approach to align your business plan with your real estate, workplace and construction plan. We will propose our preliminary plan to the designated point of contact as identified in the chain of command above for initial feedback. From that feedback, we will modify the initial plan with the intent to present to the leadership group as designated. Once we have consensus to proceed, we will issue our final strategic plan that will act as our roadmap to achieve full alignment.
Sourcing Strategy
Under the strategic plan, we will have clear direction as to what vendors and service providers will be necessary to engage for everything from one-time services to ongoing service contracts related to procuring and occupying your workplace environment. Considering the plan, with its specified goals and objectives, we will identify a short list of qualified vendors and service providers. The priority will be to engage a knowledgeable commercial real estate broker with relevant market knowledge to facilitate the real estate transactions. Our team will collaborate closely with the real estate professional and your leadership team as we proceed with identifying, qualifying and procuring the ideal service providers for the task at hand.
Execution of the Plan
We will be the main point of contact for most vendor services related to the programming, design and construction of the workplace, and will be the liaison between the vendors and the leadership team throughout the complex periods of real estate acquisition, disposition, design, construction, commissioning and occupancy certification.
ProPath Advisors and the real estate broker will position your company in the best competitive light possible in order to compete for space and vendors in a market that is both short on space and labor. It’s important to maximize market leverage with well-planned timing and strategic positioning. When represented strategically and professionally, you will be able to compete with with the giants in the marketplace for space that is currently in high demand. Having our finger on the pulse of the market gives us the confidence of setting realistic expectations for your budgeting, scheduling and risk management.
