At the Ray Wilkerson Companies, we consider risk to be the most important element of real estate development and investment to be managed and controlled. So as to minimize risk and to help ensure the maximum success possible the following management tools are utilized:

Market Analysis
We can assist the client in determining the viability of a proposed location. Factors such as analysis of the census data; population segmentation analysis; drive time for the target market, or work force, to access the client's facility; competition; traffic counts and other data that are required to determine the viability of a proposed location can be included.

Site Analysis
Our extensive experience in land development and building construction enables use to provide our clients with a detailed analysis of the site and identify any deficiencies that exist in relation to the proposed use. An estimate of cost can be prepared to obtain any required entitlements, prepare civil engineering plans to obtain a site development permit and construct the required improvements.

Design and Construction
Our clients additionally benefit from our continuing relationships with architects and civil engineers. Once a site is selected, we can arrange an initial meeting with the appropriate firm(s) to discuss the project and provide the client with a fee quote for the work required. A general contractor can be involved to provide comments on the preliminary design to insure that no unnecessary cost will be generated by the design.  Upon completion of the preliminary plan, a detailed cost estimate can be prepared to determine if the cost is acceptable.
