Using leading-edge approach, we develop projects that are both environmentally friendly and highly efficient. By working closely with the owners, design and engineering teams, contractors, and investors, we deliver the projects we can be proud of.
THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
SITE EVALUATION

When you’ve acquired land — or if you have a site you are considering purchasing— inviting our experts to walk the site with you can provide unique insights and open your eyes to possibilities you may not have realized.

Our team helps you through the site location and acquisition process every step of the way.

Our team has a broad range of experience in assisting our clients as they work through the process of getting construction financing, so they always know what to expect

By managing the design process, we ensure all details are considered and questions are asked. We meet with plan reviewers, update the numbers, and track the process from the day we get engaged. Sometimes, we start from scratch, and other times, we are brought in midway.
MATERIAL SELECTION
At GIS, we don’t just build projects, our team of experts also helps you select preferred materials and appliances — all at budget-saving prices. Our goal is to relieve the stress associated with making these types of selections, and we supply the insight that comes from being in the industry for generations.
BUDGETING
Effective building- and construction-budgeting for your next custom home is the key to getting exactly what you want, and where you want it. Let us help you to allocate your funds to ensure that, together, we achieve your goals and successfully invest your money according to plan.
FINANCING
We help with raising equity and procuring debt financing using our vast network and experience. Financial engineering is one of our specialties. Some projects benefit from limited partners (LP), co-General Partners (co-GP), guarantors, also known as key principals (LP), mezzanine debt, preferred equity, and other financing vehicles.
SCHEDULING
With talented managers and a state-of-the-art project management process and software, we work to ensure that each phase of the project works together to keep things moving forward.
GREEN BUILDING
We work with the land to create green, energy-efficient custom homes for our clients. At GIS our specialty is creating homes with both low environmental impact and green energy efficiency. There is a synergy between being environmentally conscious and financially-savvy. Our commitment to these building principles helps preserve the natural environment around your new home and keeps your energy bills low.
