Construction Planning & Development Management Services
We navigate the regulatory and planning process with you
We Start With Your Idea, Not With Building Blueprints
Unlike a typical general contractor, at Colarelli Construction, we are often involved with planning construction projects from their earliest phases, sometimes even before our clients select a piece of land or an Architect. Our team possesses a combination of technical expertise, project management skills, and understanding of the legal and regulatory environment that is required for the construction planning and development phases of a project.
Our goal is to deliver a project that meets your expectations while optimizing resources and minimizing risks. We do so by guiding you through the development of your project, entitlement, site acquisition, and site assessment.
