Our approach

We work for you, and we put it in writing.

We work for you, and we put it in writing.

We price and build for the owner’s budget and schedule, and say so plainly when a number will not hold.

Base building and tenant work, priced apart

We separate base-building items from tenant improvements and show alternates, so owners and tenants see who pays for what.

Nothing off the record

Change orders are written, priced and approved before work proceeds. Unknowns are flagged before contract, not discovered mid-construction.

One accountable lead

A dedicated project manager from first walkthrough through final close-out, with design professionals and permitting coordinated alongside the estimate.

Owners, investors and lenders

Know the real cost before you commit capital.

Real estate funds, family offices and owner-operators bring us in before they buy, refinance or reposition. We walk the building with you and price what it will actually take, line by line, so the number in your model is a number we would build to.

Send us an address

Pre-acquisition cost estimates

An itemized cost to bring a building to your business plan: renovation, tenant improvements, and the seismic, sprinkler, life-safety and ADA upgrades a permit will trigger, with unknowns flagged before you close.

Capital improvement budgets

Phased capital plans across a hold period, with base-building and tenant work priced apart, ready for an investment committee or lender review.

Owner’s representation and construction management

An experienced builder on your side of the table: scope, bids, schedule, change orders and close-out managed for the owner, whether or not LPD builds the work.

Repositioning and value-add delivery

Once you own it, the same team that priced it builds it: full-building renovation, multifamily repositioning and lease-up tenant improvements.

The 7-Day Price · free site walk

Target: written price 7 calendar days after the site walk and the information we need.

Send us an address. Here is what you get:

  • A walk with the person who prices it. No drawings needed. On site, over Zoom, or a 10-minute call.
  • We aim to deliver a written, line-by-line price within 7 calendar days of the walk and the information we need. Every trade itemized, with assumptions and unknowns stated plainly.
  • Code, seismic and ADA items priced in. The upgrades a permit will trigger, found now instead of mid-construction.
  • Alternates side by side. So you can cut cost where it will not hurt the space.
  • Yours to keep, whether or not you hire us. Use it to check other bids or take it to your lender.

The site walk is free. No follow-up calls you didn’t ask for. We reply within one business day to set a time.

How would you like to talk?

A written, line-by-line estimate within 7 calendar days of the site walk, once we have the plans or scope we need. For commercial tenant improvements and renovations; larger or complex projects may take longer, and we'll say so up front. The site walk is free. It's an estimate, not a binding bid.

Prices are estimates based on the scope, plans and site conditions available at the time. An estimate is not a bid or contract; pricing becomes binding only in a signed agreement. The 7-Day Price starts after our site walk and receipt of the information we request. Timelines are targets, not guarantees. Lombardi Property Development, LLC (LPD Builders), CSLB #1082065.

We reply within one business day. Your details go to our project team and the service providers we use to respond. See our Privacy Policy.
