Project Spotlight
River Rock of North Carolina is the largest conservation development in the Western North Carolina. Cogito manages all of their land resource activities, providing design, management planning, implementation oversight, and on-going consultation to bring all their partners together from multiple states across the country. All of this is managed through our online project management system as well as on the ground.Management Planning
Cogito Management Planning is founded in the idea that you must care for the people who care for the places. We strive to give property owners the tools and information necessary to care for their surroundings as well as the associated costs. The Management Planning process includes:
- Community Needs Analysis
- Creation of Scopes of Work
- Identification of Cost Centers
- Creation of Bid Documents
- Solicitation of Bids and Vendor Qualifications
- Internal Budget Projections
- Cost Analysis
- Assessment of Available Resources
- Strategic Growth Planning
- Resource Development
Cogito will create detailed instructions to make sure that your project is performed to the standards and in the manner that you desire. Uniform Standards of Installation and Management tailored to your specific needs ensure that you and your contractors have all of the information needed to fulfill the design intent. These documents can also prevent the need for numerous change orders and unforeseen expenses.
Cogito can analyze your property in as many ways as your need to find out where your money goes. Whether it is the cost to complete the project, the cost to maintain it, or the unforeseen costs associated with getting it there, we identify the costs and benefits of your decisions.
With the uniform standards and the tasks associated with each cost center, Cogito can help you create bid documents that will ensure accurate pricing for the work to be performed. Quality documents created to your specific needs grow everyone’s understanding of what is to be done and the costs associated with it.
Anyone who says they qualify to do everything isn’t telling you how qualified they are at each thing. That is why Cogito can help you navigate through all the vendors available and assemble the best possible team to fulfill your needs. Cogito not only grows your ability to understand and implement your product but also strives to grow those who do it for you.
When people price the construction of a project, they rarely capture the costs associated with maintenance incurred until it is turned over to the end user. Cogito creates detailed budget scenarios, capturing the costs of maintaining the property after construction as well as those incurred in getting it there at a time when they can still be captured. This allows the client to capture expenses that are usually lost and their clients aren’t constantly being asked for more money.
Cogito will locate all of the available staff, vendors, suppliers, and community connections necessary to make your project a success. We will evaluate their qualifications, resources, and experience to put together the best possible team to meet your needs. We can also evaluate your budgets and spending patterns to recommend adjustments where necessary, or project unforeseen increases before they occur.
Once all of the appropriate information is gathered, Cogito will map out as many years in advance as you desire in terms of the human and capital resources needed to insure sustainability.
Cogito values everyone involved with your project as a resource. With the development of communication systems, to the training of project managers, sales support, vendor development, and end-user education, we realize that to build a sustainable community the most valuable resource you have is the community itself.
