The move-in date is fixed. The scope usually isn't yet.

A lease ends, a team grows, a branch needs to reopen on schedule. Meanwhile, decisions arrive late, existing conditions show up once walls open, and your people keep working next to the site.

Nobody is being careless. Design, pricing and site work are often run by different parties, and gaps form between them.

The move-in date doesn't move. Every late decision or discovery lands closer to it, and that is where cost and schedule pressure comes from.

Xenofan brings cost control, coordination and execution under one team, so you can see the work, the commitments and the decisions still ahead.

For organizations that can't stop working while the space changes.

Professional services firms, financial institutions and branch networks in Greater Montréal.

Your contracts, our management

Construction management

We coordinate subcontractors, schedule, cost reporting and site execution. You see commitments, changes and forecast cost as the project progresses.

You see the cost before you approve it.

Monthly cost reporting
Budget, commitments, approved changes and forecast to complete, in one report.
Changes priced before approval
No change proceeds until you have seen its cost and schedule effect.
One point of contact
Our project manager is accountable for progress, issues and the decisions that need you.
One project. One role. Never both.
If Xenofan provided the independent cost opinion on your project, we will not deliver it. If we deliver it, we will not also review our own price.
