Independent judgment when a development is stuck or about to be funded.
We diagnose stalled third-party approvals and test development plans for the investors and lenders funding them, from the owner’s side.
Stalled Approval Diagnosis
Your project is stuck on a permit, entitlement or third-party approval: a zoning board, building department, utility, railroad or airport authority. We identify who holds the approval, what they need and what is actually blocking it, and set out a credible path through, with the cost of each week of delay.
Capital Partner Check
You're about to fund a developer's plan. We test its approvals, schedule, budget and infrastructure assumptions independently and tell you what to require before closing.
How we work
A fixed scope and a flat fee agreed before work starts
Findings ranked by what could change your decision
Engineers or attorneys brought in only when a question needs them, and only with your approval
Rohin Lahoria, founder
Rohin has worked on the owner's side of hotel, industrial and multifamily development. At Baywood Hotels he managed Hilton and Marriott projects through approvals and construction: he worked through an FAA airspace limit on tower cranes in Tampa, identified leverage in a CSX right-of-way issue in Asheville that reduced the developer's obligations, and secured a temporary-occupancy approval in Lakeland that avoided about 90 days of opening delay.
At Scannell Properties he worked on industrial development, including a brownfield redevelopment in Baltimore, incentive discussions with Hanover County, VA, and build-to-suit and lease proposals from 55,000 to 1.2 million square feet. He began in construction at AvalonBay Communities.
He trained as an architect (B.Arch, Panjab University) and holds an MBA and an M.S. in Building Construction Science and Management from Virginia Tech.
