Throughout its history, Epic Consulting has worked with both the General Services Administration (GSA) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) on numerous real estate projects. Each project would require Epic to lead a highly experienced and accomplished team.

Given this, Epic Consulting is extremely confident in its ability to develop and deliver a facility that would exceed the expectations of any federal tenant while providing an exceptional experience for the client. It goes without saying that every project is unique and brings a different set of challenges: devising new project concepts and designs, preparing site presentations, and coordinating the financing. Establishing and administering project work plans, schedules, and budgets, monitoring status and costs for both internal and external clients. Overseeing site selection, evaluation, and due diligence. Coordinating entitlements, zoning, and permitting with government agencies. Spearheading the sales and marketing efforts, responses to requests for proposals (RFPs), bidding processes, and contract negotiation. Epic Consulting prides itself on a culture of continuous learning and improvement and as a result, it has incorporated key learnings from past experiences into our Project Management Plan (PMP). As it does with all projects, Epic Consulting intends to do an in-depth analysis of all facets of a project - with the highest priority being schedule and budget. Incorporated into our PMP is a preliminary review of critical issues, with a focus on how those issues could impact the project.
