Magee Development Inc
Independent eyes on your project - from someone who has built them, financed through them, and brought them to completion.
Phoenix-based development consulting for land bankers, banks and lenders, and small developers who need verified progress, honest cost-to-complete, and documented site conditions - reported in writing, with aerial evidence. Built on Brian Magee's career in metro Phoenix construction and land development since 1987.
What we do
1. Subdivision Improvement Monitoring
Site visits, written progress report, labeled photo log, and a plan-overlay composite with construction progress annotated on the improvement plan. Percent-complete by cost code; schedule assessment.
2. Construction Draw Review - Lender & Owner/Developer Side
Photo verification, work checked against the schedule of values, draw-versus-budget reconciliation, lien-waiver tracking - lender-side, and owner/developer-side before payment.
3. Project Take-Back / Distressed Evaluation
Site conditions, remaining scope and cost-to-complete, budget and draw reconciliation, and recommended next actions for a project a bank or land banker holds or is considering.
4. Owner-Rep / Contractor Management
Bid solicitation and documented scoring, contract support, constructability review, cost estimating, contractor coordination, and progress summaries with action items.
5. Aerial Documentation & Metadata Archive
Scheduled drone flights - cardinal directions, overhead, low slow video, close-ups - full set, metadata intact, archived per project for meetings, disputes, and litigation support.*
* Flown and read by an operator with almost 40 years of building and development experience - not a drone operator with no building background. Part 107, 5+ years, thousands of flights.
