Our ‘WHY’ Is Helping You Accomplish ‘It’ In The Built Environment
real estate: Buy, sell, or invest in it…
There are ideal times and situations to acquire, sell, or hold on to the real estate, but one thing for sure with real estate, you can’t go wrong with the right location, location, location.
Our goal in assisting our real estate clients is to provide information that helps them to make well-informed decisions. As a real estate broker, we can facilitate the entire transaction buy, sell or exchange– even help you find the right lender. Our real estate network is extensive, with local and regional connections that can make your transaction seamless.
ground-up: build it…
That parcel of land is just right for what you’ve envisioned, the only thing missing is the structure, right? We can make it happen.
KC MASS has a Class A license to build any structure from ground-up, collaboratively with its team of architects and designers. Also, we can implement incremental development methods, which is not just fascinating, but it restores a city’s core by filling vacant lots with affordable housing and mixed-use developments. Our goal is to build to your satisfaction and help you yield a preferred return on your investment (ROI), reach out to us for a hand.
asset management: identify it…
Knowing where all of your assets are is an important step that allows your organization to track important details about each asset. We can help you identify and manage those assets, including computers, furniture, HVAC systems, and other fixtures and equipment (FF&E). Asset management can decrease administrative costs and improves FF&E accountability.
We will generate an asset list based on your input, make a site visit with the asset list to scan-capture and generate a data-enriched QR/Barcode label of all assets, and create an easily accessible archivable file to use at your discretion.
renovation: make it better…
Your pride-and-joy is already there; it just needs to be made better. We can help with any project, whether it’s new doors and windows, or a new updated floor plan – maybe an entire makeover.
Our city has some amazing opportunities to renovate properties, and we know just where to invest and how much it’s worth in the end. We aim to help you make your renovation better, from a piece of history to the essential social fabric of the community. We can work with you to make sure your project is beneficial for everyone involved. The team at KC MASS has no problem rolling up our sleeves, working on blighted or abandoned buildings with good bones. We’re up to the challenge; just give us the key.
bim: model it…
Building Information Modeling (BIM) an intelligent 3-D model-based process that provides architects, engineers, and construction professionals the insight and tools to more efficiently plan design construct and manage the built environment.
KC MASS stays at the forefront utilizing the latest technology in BIM for virtual design and construction. Furthermore, for our real estate clientele, the data mining we provide will help you make well-informed decisions for your transactions. With BIM, you will see it virtually built before it is shovel ready.
retrofit: add on it…
Your property is almost just right. However, you are now expanding your family or want to make accommodations for others. Whether you need a new suite on top, outback, or to the side, we’ll use the standard approach or universal design to retrofit.
Universal design is a design approach that enables the built environment accessible to maneuver and access with ease. We know a thing or two about universal design, as a specialist for over fifteen years; we have studied, educated others, and retrofitted a considerable number of projects utilizing UD. We work with reliable architects and designers to add the right modifications to your property, helping make it not only accommodating but great looking as well.
owner’s representation: advocate for it…
The Owner’s Representative has technical expertise in construction, real estate and design. The role manages relationships with general contractors, architects, engineers, sub-contractors companies, municipal authorities and financial institutions involved in the project.
The Owner’s Representative advocates for the owner’s goals in a development project and ensures its proper close-out and the successful move-in of a client. The work of an Owner’s Representative varies in scope by project and per the project owner’s requirements; their involvement can happen as early as in the land acquisition process, or later in the actual construction phase of the project.
Because owners often don’t have the time or expertise to deal with the technicalities of real estate and construction, KC MASS as an Owner’s Representative can help with project elements including:
Securing land, permits and financial incentives for the project
Ensuring the project meets local and municipal requirements
Fielding request for proposals, bids and hiring vendors such as contractors, engineers, and architecture firms
Managing the project budget and schedules, including all sub-budgets and sub-project schedules
