Episode #037 - How to get into Commercial Real Estate Development w/ Josh Chesney from Cyntergy

If I told you that every 1 out of 10 commercial real estate developments actually gets built would you believe me? Today our hosts Brian Duck, Braden Cheek & Joel Thompson from The Criterion Fund along with Josh Chesney from Cyntergy in Tulsa, OK explain how to keep your development alive and actually make it to construction and ultimately completion! Topics discussed: Josh Chesney Intro - Director of Business Development, Architect and Principle at Cyntergy.(https://www.cyntergy.com) Getting a practical Conceptual Design, or the first pass of the design, as early as possible from your architect. Keeping all of the Architectural Disciplines "in house". - Being able to have all of the different disciplines working in the same company is very convenient and way more thorough. Getting your "GC" or Contractor engaged as early as possible. There is no point in designing a building that will never be built. You will just end up with an insanely expensive set of documents. The GC should be estimating costs all the way through the design process. Architectural Tip - Stay away from proprietary systems! *Be Sure to check us out on Spotify and Apple Podcasts for the Audio version of today's episode!** https://open.spotify.com/show/08KmNvqGV5HjmHUC8fLuce https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-invest-in-commercial-real-estate/id1543470290?itsct=podcast_box&itscg=30200 Links mentioned in this episode: www.Cyntergy.com www.HowToInvestInCRE.TV Invest.HowToInvestInCRE.com www.TheCriterionFund.com To sign up for our exclusive investor list, click below. https://www.TheCriterionFund.com/Join-Our-Investor-List
