The background

Blue Granite Advisory is built on three decades of construction and capital experience that spans sectors most consultants only work in one of: public education construction, industrial and data center facilities, hospitality, multi-family capital programs, and utility infrastructure.

That includes hands-on work building electrical transmission lines and substations, facilities-side experience at a high-technology manufacturing campus and a large industrial paper mill, and oversight of more than $1.2 billion in K-12 construction — new schools and complex renovations delivered under public scrutiny, where budget discipline, vendor management, and change order control aren't optional.

It also includes managing the capital planning and construction needs of a portfolio of more than 190 multi-family properties totaling over 8 million square feet, plus earlier experience at a Big Four firm providing capital construction consulting to Fortune 50 clients in the utility and infrastructure space — seeing large-scale capital programs from both the operator side and the consulting side.

On top of the field experience sits the financial training to match it: an engineering degree and an MBA, which means capital decisions get evaluated the way a CFO would read them, not just the way a project manager would.

Why that combination matters

Most companies that own buildings — or are buying them — don't have anyone in-house who can do this kind of review at an institutional level. They're too small to hire a VP of Construction, but too exposed to skip independent review entirely.

That gap is exactly where Blue Granite Advisory operates: bringing the judgment built from running large, complex capital programs to a single decision, a single property, or a single disputed change order — without requiring a client to put someone on staff full-time to get it.

Every engagement is built around one idea: a clear, written, defensible opinion, grounded in real program experience, delivered on a fixed fee and a fixed timeline.

EXPERIENCE

Where the judgment comes from

PUBLIC
EDUCATION

$1.2B+ K-12 Capital Construction Program

Oversight of more than $1.2 billion in statewide public school construction — new builds and complex renovations — including the public accountability, procurement discipline, and capital governance that come with that scale.

INDUSTRIAL

Industrial & Data Center Facilities

Facilities-side experience at a high-technology manufacturing campus and a large industrial paper mill — direct exposure to the operational and construction demands of industrial and data center environments, a sector with substantial current capital growth.

MULTI-
FAMILY

Multi-Family Capital Planning & Operations

Capital planning, contractor management, and change order oversight across a portfolio of more than 190 multi-family properties totaling over 8 million square feet. This experience maps directly to the kind of work Blue Granite Advisory offers.

HOSPITALITY

Hospitality Capital Planning & Construction

Capital planning, contractor management, and change order oversight for select-service and full-service hotel properties — the same fixed-fee, document-driven review Blue Granite Advisory offers across its other sectors.

UTILITY

Electrical Transmission & Substation Construction

Field-level experience in utility infrastructure construction — the foundation for an engineering-literate read on technical and power-related capital projects that most construction consultants can't offer.

CONSULTING

Big Four Capital Construction Consulting

Capital construction consulting at a Big Four firm, advising Fortune 50 clients in the utility and infrastructure space — institutional-grade rigor applied from the consulting side of large capital programs.

HOW THIS PRACTICE OPERATES

A few principles that don't change by client

01

Written, not verbal

Every engagement ends in a written opinion. Findings are documented, not just discussed — so there's a clear record behind every recommendation.

02

Fixed fee, always

Scope and price are agreed before work begins. No hourly billing on advisory work, no meter running, no surprise invoices.

03

Advisory only

Findings go to the client, not to the contractor. Blue Granite Advisory doesn't negotiate with or represent clients in contractor disputes — that judgment call stays with the client.
