THE CHALLENGE

Workplace projects fail more often than they should.

Commercial real estate project management can be complex, cross-functional, and easy to underestimate. The costs of a poorly managed project extend well beyond the budget line.

Timelines that compress under pressure

Late-stage decisions and vendor delays compound quickly. Without proactive schedule management, move-in dates slip and operational disruption follows.

Budget overruns from unmanaged change orders

Construction change orders are the most common source of cost overruns. They require active oversight and structured approval processes.

Vendors without a single point of accountability

When designers, contractors, and IT teams each report separately, gaps appear and coordination risk falls on your internal team.

Operational disruption during transition

A poorly planned move affects productivity, employee experience, and business continuity for months after occupancy.

STRATEGIC PERspective

What most companies underestimated about commercial real estate project management.

The most common mistake we see is treating project management as a coordination task rather than a strategic one. Research consistently shows that 80% of potential project savings occur pre-construction. The decisions made before design begins, scope definition, consultant selection, budget methodology, determine most of the outcome.

ENCOR’s role is to ensure your organization is informed, prepared, and represented from day one.

The earlier we're involved, the better the outcome.

Most project risk is created in the first few weeks. No obligation. Let’s start with a project assessment.

YOUR Questions Answered

Common questions

As early as possible. Ideally at the same time as or immediately after lease execution.

Early engagement allows ENCOR to influence design decisions, set realistic budgets, select the right consultants, and build a schedule with adequate contingency. Projects engaged late run significantly higher risk of cost overruns and timeline compression.

Yes. ENCOR manages the full relocation lifecycle, from occupancy planning and move sequencing to IT coordination, vendor management, and business continuity planning. The goal is a seamless transition that minimizes downtime and operational disruption for your organization.

ENCOR establishes project budgets early, tracks costs throughout the process, manages change orders, and identifies value engineering opportunities without compromising the design intent. Having an independent occupier-side advisor overseeing the budget removes the conflict of interest that can exist when vendors self-report on costs.

Yes. ENCOR acts as the single point of coordination across your entire project team of designers, engineers, contractors, IT and AV vendors, security consultants, and furniture suppliers. This reduces the burden on your internal team and ensures accountability is held centrally throughout the project.

Workplace projects are the physical execution of real estate decisions. A well-managed project delivers a space that serves your workforce and operations for the full term of the lease. ENCOR’s integrated approach connects brokeragelease administration, and project management so the space you build reflects the strategy behind the deal.

Yes. ENCOR supports clients with national portfolio requirements across Canada, including Western Canada and Quebec, and globally through its advisory network, as well as deep market expertise is in the GTA and broader Ontario.
