Summit Consulting Group is a land consulting firm with a bigger-picture perspective. We have deep experience in all of the same core competencies offered by other engineering firms—but we take a decidedly different approach.
Most projects are well into the planning process before an engineering component is brought into the mix. All too often that results in the unwelcome need to rework timelines, reassess budgets, or be forced to move forward with a plan that is worlds apart from your initial project vision. In short: massive potential for sudden roadblocks and spiraling project expenses.
Instead, SCG strives to enter the process farther "upstream." Within what';s similar to a program management role, we proactively search for problems from the outset—and sidestep unforeseen changes and delays that can rapidly diminish your project's profitability. We get to know you and your project, and find ways to ensure that time andexpenses are closely tracked and effectively managed.
Simply put, we help community developers, architects, and building professionals build better projects.
What SCG does for you
Based on careful consideration of vision, scope, budget, and action, we establish a program that enables you, the client, to maintain control—and to stay focused on the bottom line.
We act on your behalf as a dedicated project point, ensuring that the established protocol is followed throughout the process, and that your vision remains as the sole guiding principle.
We develop relationships among key stakeholders, from consensus-building among new communities and theirneighboring areas, to tightly supervising sub-consultants whose skills will color your project’s success.
We implement a "land steward" approach to smart development—balancing project design objectives and environmental impacts to address today’s changing attitudes and expectations in land development.
We preserve quality so your efforts to produce the best possible product aren’t forced to change due to unexpected expenses or protracted timelines.
How SCG impacts your project
Increased Realiability - Through our ‘front-end’ engineering and due diligence, you’ll know the issues and potential pitfalls from the start, so your budgets and timeframes can be trusted, and your expectations will be met.
Increased Profitability - When resources enjoy a strategic fit, waste is significantly reduced, timelines stay on track, and costs are inevitably lowered. Higher revenues are the result.
Increased Quality - An outstanding and more marketable product is the key catalyst for a predictable chain reaction: high quality, greater buyer-appeal, lower risk, and a more substantial return on your investment.
