FEVA provides project management for upscale renovations and improvement work. We represent the owner from scope to completion, and we stay on site while the work is done.
What renovation project management includes
We begin by defining the project properly: what is being done, to what standard, with what materials and finishes, and on what timeline. We then vet and select contractors, review proposals line by line, and coordinate the specialists a project requires. During construction, we supervise the work, manage the schedule, resolve the issues that every renovation produces, and keep the owner informed without requiring the owner to be present.
Personalized finishes and specifications are part of the service. Owners who care about how a space looks and feels get a manager who will chase the right detail rather than accept the available one.

Renovations inside occupied buildings
Renovating within an occupied luxury building or townhome adds constraints: working hours, building rules, protection of common areas, and neighbors who expect consideration. FEVA manages those relationships as part of the project, so that the work proceeds and the building’s standards are kept.
Project management alongside ongoing management
Many owners engage FEVA to manage a property and later ask us to oversee a renovation of it. Because we already know the building, its systems, and its history, the project starts from a better place, and the property returns to normal management the moment the work is done.
Questions about projects & owner representation
Are you the contractor, or do you manage the contractor?
FEVA manages the project on the owner’s behalf. We vet, select, and supervise contractors; we do not perform the construction ourselves. That independence is what lets us hold the work to the owner’s standard.
Can you help choose finishes and specifications?
Yes. Personalized finishes and specifications are part of our renovation service. We help owners define the standard and then hold the work to it.
Do you manage renovations in buildings you do not otherwise manage?
Yes. Project management can be engaged on its own. Many owners also find that pairing it with ongoing management is the simplest arrangement.
