Services · Advisory

Advisory.

For owners, family offices, and capital partners who need operator-level input on specific real estate decisions -- without engaging a full development or asset-management mandate.

Acquisition review

Independent operator review of acquisition opportunities -- underwriting, due diligence, and structure recommendations.

Development feasibility

Operator perspective on development feasibility -- construction realism, entitlement timing, and absorption assumptions.

Portfolio review

Independent review of operating portfolio -- capex prioritization, dispositions, and operating-cost discipline.

Mid-project rescue

Second-opinion review and stabilization recommendations on projects that are slipping on scope, schedule, or cost.

Capital structure

JV, partnership, and capital-stack structural input -- waterfall mechanics, governance, decision rights, exit paths.

Expert technical

Pre-litigation or settlement-stage technical input on construction-related disputes, defects, or delays.

Decision context

Advisory: what serious readers should know

Service work begins with definition before execution. DGC evaluates the assignment, the decision-maker, the timeline, the capital context, the entitlement path, and the construction or operating constraints before recommending a path forward. The practical output should be clear enough for the client or partner to understand what is known, what is assumed, what must be verified, and what could change the recommendation. That includes written scope, project-level responsibility, budget and schedule sensitivity, market assumptions, consultant coordination, and risk controls. The service is strongest when it turns complexity into an actionable development decision rather than a generic presentation.

Risk first

Each discussion should identify entitlement, market, capital, construction, timing, operating, and exit assumptions before a recommendation is treated as reliable.

Clear record

Scope, responsibility, milestones, assumptions, and open diligence items should be written clearly enough for owners, partners, consultants, and lenders to review.

Next decision

The practical goal is to define the next decision gate: continue diligence, revise the plan, change the structure, or stop before avoidable risk compounds.
