An apartment community makes money one leased unit at a time, so the question we answer for owners and managers is simple: when does each unit come back, and how many are down at once. Our project manager walks the down units with your manager and publishes a turn schedule the leasing office can quote to a prospect with confidence.
What we do for multifamily
Value-add renovations are the core of it: kitchens, baths, flooring, lighting and paint across an occupied community, done in batches so the down-unit count stays where the pro forma needs it. Unit turns between residents, amenity and clubhouse remodels, leasing office refreshes and exterior refresh work all run through the same crews. In new communities, garden, wrap and podium, we finish the units and the amenities: we carry the interior build from rough mechanicals through the first move-ins, and we install the clubhouse and model FF&E ourselves so the property photographs on the day leasing opens.
How the job runs
We start with a unit walk and a scope sheet per floor plan, then a batch plan: how many units close each week, how many days each takes, and how they are handed back. Residents get notices we write with your management team. Our crews move through a batch in trade order (demo, rough, drywall, paint, cabinets, counters, flooring, fixtures) and a unit is not called done until our project manager has walked it with the key in hand. Amenity work is phased so the pool, gym or clubhouse is never fully closed for longer than the residents were told.
What moves the number and the calendar
The scope per unit is the biggest driver: a paint-and-carpet turn and a full kitchen and bath renovation are different jobs at the same unit count. Occupancy is the second: a ninety-five percent occupied community can only give us a few units at a time, and the calendar stretches to match. Material choices that ship from stock keep batches moving; special-order cabinets and tile need a lead-time plan before the first unit is emptied.
Portfolio work
Management companies with several properties get the same crews, the same scope sheets and the same turn schedule format at every site, which is what lets a regional manager compare properties without reading five different contractors’ reports.
We are licensed and insured, with more than twenty years of combined experience among our principals, and because our own crews carry the finish trades, a unit’s return date is a promise we control rather than one we pass along.
