WINDSOR GROUP
Windsor Group provides clients with advisory and management related services to help them progress their facility and real estate goals. We help clients navigate the complexities of the development and construction process; and lead teams to turn a vision into a reality.
We are passionate about building the spaces where people go to learn, develop, collaborate, and create. It is our belief that all progress ultimately stems from challenging the norms of today and making what is not currently possible, possible – and in order for that to happen, people need places to come together to learn, grow, collaborate, and create. Our passion lies at the intersection of the built environment and the positive advancement of society.
We work with municipalities, school districts, mission-based organizations and nonprofits, higher education institutions, and private sector commercial clients and have managed over $1B of successful projects completed, and have master planned over $4.5B in construction projects.
Core Services
Throughout the project, we will serve as your trusted advisor that provides best practices against program risks and be your greatest ally in ensuring quality assurance and quality control to meet project goals.
Planning and Due Diligence
Our planning services range from assessing and recommending potential development or construction projects for clients to comprehensive master planning. Our experience implementing a diversity of projects makes us well equipped to help our clients move a project concept into a feasible plan of action that takes into account development and construction realities.
Management Services
Our management services typically involve acting on the owner’s behalf as their representative to lead and execute construction projects. Services range from full scale ground up development management to interiors / renovation project management, and we also do event management for clients as well. Our focus is to create trusting, collaborative environments for project teams to work efficiently in and provide clear direction and communication to the team so that we mitigate project risks and achieve the client’s vision and project objectives.
Advisory Services
Our advisory services are comprised of advising clients on the myriad of complexities and issues that arise throughout a project’s life cycle. We have extensive experience in public private partnerships and have advised clients on how to best negotiate development agreement terms. We also have extensive experience in evaluating specific issues for clients and providing recommendations on how to mitigate risk.
Collaboration. Trust. Results.
Strategize & Mitigate Risk
Our planning philosophy is to identify risks early on, gather the relevant information related to the problem and collaborate with the project team – ensuring that the people with the right expertise and involvement are working together to address issues. At the same time, as your representative and advisor, we will synthesize complex problems into manageable and easily communicated potential solutions. Recommendations will factor in the pros and cons associated with a decision; we will then layer in the client's framework for success and make strategic suggestions on the best way to proceed.
Collaboration & Trust
Windsor Group believes that an effective owner representative should be the “conductor” of the orchestra on behalf of the owner – ensuring that coordination occurs amongst parties, fostering an environment of cooperation and collaboration, and establishing a culture of accountability and well-communicated expectations.
Client Leadership
We believe that an effective aspect of project leadership is not just managing the project team but also managing the numerous client stakeholders. We often organize project committees, lead recurring internal meetings, and establish a project decision-making framework that establishes the project priorities. Effective leadership will lead to progressive results that prevent project management teams from being characterized as "order takers" that leave the client all the responsibility.
