CLIENT REPRESENTATION

Value management is not simply a component of a project. The most cost-effective projects employ value management principles as the foundation of the project. At MCG, effective value management goes beyond periodic drawing analysis, which is limited to function, shape and details. We also focus on process because significant value may also be achieved there. Building size affects both first-costs and life-cycle costs. So, our process generally begins by developing programming efficiencies. We learn your business goals and project objectives. We study your market segment, competition and then, recommend the most efficient solutions. Identifying and implementing the best value management plan for your project is a specialty of MCG.

DESIGN MANAGEMENT

Design management integrates the client’s vision into the technical documentation that will be used to build the environment. MCG representatives are knowledgeable to complex building systems that are required by this building type. They are responsible for understanding the jurisdictional requirements, the complexities of the vision, knowing which specialty consultants are required and clearly communicating these elements to the design consultants.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

MCG, a full-service project management organization, delivers proven results on large and small projects, new construction or repairs and renovations. We begin by learning about your company. Then, we develop a project management strategy, submit alternatives for project delivery, help you understand available options and propose methods for implementing the plan. Finally, we create a team committed to the project’s success. We assume full advocacy for and proactive management of the project.

QUANTITY SURVEYING & COST MANAGEMENT

Accurate and detailed project costing is the foundation of sound construction. MCG provides comprehensive cost estimating and planning from the very beginning of a project through close out. All-inclusive estimates enable you to plan with confidence. For theme parks, MCG provide detailed cost plans for all Facility, Show and Ride elements thus providing Clients with an excellent tool to monitor design and budget. Our highly trained and experienced team of estimators, quantity surveyors, construction managers, engineers and state-of-the-art information systems assure accuracy. We also provide cost-planning services, including economic analysis and life cycle costing; constructability reviews, banking assistance and value engineering as well as risk identification and management.

SCHEDULING

The goal of cost-effective scheduling and project controls is to avoid costly surprises. Comprehensive schedules enable projects to be optimally planned, organized, resourced and delivered. Schedules developed by MCG are designed to address the unique requirements of each project. In particular, when scheduling theme park projects, the integration of facility, show and ride elements is complex and having the experience and knowledge to address them is key to a successful, on time delivery. MCG has that experience. Creative, experienced professionals who possess a thorough knowledge of the development, design and construction processes prepare our schedules. These individuals are also supported by state-of-the-art information technologies.

MARKET STUDY

The first step towards any successful project is understanding and choosing the correct market.  The MCG team can provide a market study containing systematic and in-depth market research and analysis.  The market research encompasses a comprehensive demographic assessment, a competitive analysis, industry trends and other informative data.  MCG will use the information to gain a detailed understanding of the market and support future decision-making.  The byproduct of our market study is a well-developed and well-planned foundation for all services moving forward.

PROJECT FEASIBILITY STUDIES

Prior to starting any project, MCG can evaluate a new business opportunity or potential acquisition through an extensive feasibility study.  This study is a combination of a market study and an economic viability analysis that can provide a client or investor financial and operational aspects of the project. Our feasibility studies are based on key demographic and economic characteristics that include income potential and anticipated expenses resulting in the determination of whether and how it can be successfully executed. Our feasibility studies include overall concept evaluation, warranted investment levels, and can also include an estimated ROI (return-on-investment) and continual profitability outlook.

OPERATIONAL PLANNING

The MCG team is comprised of industry professionals with over 80 years of combined experience in all aspects of attractions and leisure operations.  The MCG team will establish short and long-term objectives and milestones for all divisions of the organization, resulting in an all encompassing “road map” for the project from start to finish.   Prior to the project opening, we will provide services such as operational planning and budgeting, as well as FF&E, staffing and organizational level recommendations. Our team also can establish operating and business plans and provide training, operating and maintenance manuals.  The MCG team will provide operational support through the entire project, from conception to grand opening as well as providing ongoing and on-site management services.
