Why partner with FRC?
Common Project Problems
Over these years, we’ve seen school leaders lose time and money due to issues such as:
Bad site selection
Schools purchasing or signing long-terms leases on properties that they can’t afford, or that don’t meet their long-term needs
Selecting sites that don’t meet the safety requirements
Selecting sites that cost too much to retrofit
Issues with contractors/builders
Construction details that don’t match up with the builders’ requirements
Overpriced and miss-managed vendors
Lack of use for E-rate vendors
Architects delivering a project over budget
Unmanaged contingencies slanted in an over designed budget
FRC Solutions
FRC’s solutions include:
Affordable Consulting
With tens of thousands, or even millions of dollars at stake, we often see schools making uninformed decisions, or working with overpriced consultants and suppliers. Our mission is for you to realize the maximum possible savings on your project through affordable consulting, offering an exponential return on your investment. The savings you’ll see through working with us will far overshadow our nomimal cost.
Smart Consulting
When it comes to selecting a site or choosing a vendor such as a contractor or builder to work with, we use our expertise and network of suppliers to ensure you save money wherever possible. We’ll guide you through RFPs, vet candidates, and will walk you through all pricing structures and development logistics that need to be addressed - all with an eye on helping you get the greatest bang for your buck.
Transparency & Accountability
Pricing and budget transparency across all phases of development is imperative. There are a lot of vendors who, we believe, charge too much. Our role as your partner will be to provide all pricing options available for each phase, allowing you to select the model that best fits your needs.
Assistance Navigating Development
By understanding the hurdles that come along with school development, we can help you in navigating issues that might end up costing you later on down the road. Our job is to navigate unanticipated issues ahead of time.
