Lighthouse Advisors Brochure
1. Lighthouse Advisors offers a unique, broad point
of view gained from years of experience combined
with implementable results.
As a group we are forward thinking, responsive and
always respectful of the needs of our clients and
team members.
We provide owner representative services, program
management and development services either in
an advisory capacity or as an extension of staff.
The foundation of our service is our expertise in all
facets of the building and development process
including planning, programming, architectural
design, project management, construction, and
economic analysis.
2. Full-Service Program Management
As a full-service program manager, LHA acts as the owner’s representative on a
project from initial concept through the final punch list and operational start-
up. We provide the owner’s point of contact for the project architect and builder,
with a firm objective to meet all of the owner’s goals with regard to budget,
schedule, and quality. Beyond project feasibility, architectural programming,
and site selection, our services include:
• Procurement and Selection of the Design Team
• Assistance in Negotiating the A/E Contract
• Design Review and Management
• Program Compliance
• Constructability Review
• Assistance in Determining the Construction Method Used (e.g.
CM at Risk, etc.)
• Assistance in Negotiating the Construction or CM Contract
• Contract Administration
• Project Tracking
• Schedule Management
• Budget Management
• Value Engineering
• FF&E Coordination

3. Integrated Program Management
As an integrated program manager, LHA works more in a support
fashion to leverage the skills and experience that the owner already
possesses. For example, some of our past clients already have a fa-
cilities or physical plant department capable of managing large or
complex projects; however, the department may lack a familiar-
ity with the particular building type in question, since many of the
“quality of life” facilities in which LHA specializes are only built once
in a generation by any particular owner. Our clients therefore ben-
efit from the use of our technical expertise on these building types
to ensure that the project is built based on the detailed program
and specifications. While we are able to provide any of our full-
service program management services, as an integrated program
manager our primary responsibilities would include:
• Program Compliance
• Design Review
• Assistance in Negotiating the A/E Contract)
• Assistance in Determining the Construction Method Used
(e.g. CM at Risk, etc.)
• FF&E Coordination
• Value Engineering
• Contract Administration
• Contractor Selection

4. Consulting Program Management
As a consulting program manager, LHA serves more in an advisory
or consulting role. We are brought in at key intervals to assist with
specific issues as they arise, generally working on a “time and ma-
terial” basis. While we serve in this capacity, our clients know they
have a pool of experts on call throughout the design and construc-
tion phase of their projects. We might get called upon to develop
the FF&E; to develop, refine, or confirm the facility program; to re-
view the design for constructability or value engineering; or to walk
the construction site for specific non-program compliance issues.
Typically, we are brought in to complete the following tasks:
• FF&E Coordination
• Develop/Refine Facility Program
• Value Engineering
• Walk the Construction Site to Determine Specific
Non-Program Compliance Issues
• Design Review
• Financial Analysis/Pro-formas,
• Financial Reporting,
• AR/AP Review and Administration,
• Budgeting - Review and Management,
• Ongoing Contract Administration(financial)
• Auditing, Cost Analysis, Budget Analysis, etc.
