Hire the Best Underwriters in Austin, TX

I'm the development consultant and owner's rep who keeps your returns in mind for every decision. Developers and sponsors hire me to underwrite the deal, build and validate the budget, and take the lead during construction - and because I model an asset's IRR, I recalculate what each CO, cost overrun, and schedule slip does to your return and how we can mitigate it. Most owner's reps and cost consultants can tell you what something costs. Very few can tell you what it does to your equity multiple. I do both. 10+ years of experience bridging construction and CRE finance: - $1.2B+ in CRE transactions underwritten across 90+ multifamily, industrial, hospitality, and retail deals - $551M+ in construction cost estimates produced across all design phases - $110M+ in development loans monitored for draw management and budget oversight - AI and automation workflows that turn cost, schedule, and draw data into live reporting and on-the-fly return updates 100% Job Success | Top Rated Plus | USC Viterbi School of Engineering & USC Real Estate Finance & Development My background is unusual for this space. I started in construction - estimating $295M+ in projects at Swinerton, California's largest general contractor - then moved into CRE finance and development advisory. So I don't just model deals; I know what it actually costs to build them, where they go over budget, and how to keep construction on track once your capital is deployed. That's the whole point of how I work: the underwriting, the budget, and the field are one continuous loop, and your return is the number that drives every call I make on your behalf. I work across the full development lifecycle, structured around who you are and what you need: FOR DEVELOPERS & SPONSORS: - Acquisition underwriting and pro forma development (multifamily, industrial, hospitality, retail, mixed-use) - Development feasibility and early budgeting, with returns modeled - Conceptual and detailed construction cost estimating across all design phases - GC selection support, bid leveling, and value engineering - Fractional PM / Owner's Representative during active construction - run against your pro forma, with IRR and cash-flow impact recalculated as costs and schedule move - Change-order and budget review that reports cost, schedule, and return impact together FOR INVESTORS & FAMILY OFFICES: - Institutional-grade underwriting with detailed sensitivity analysis - Acquisition due diligence - financial and physical - Market and site feasibility studies - Custom financial modeling across all major CRE asset classes FOR LENDERS & CREDIT FUNDS: - Construction draw monitoring and fund control - Independent budget review and cost validation - Pay application analysis and construction progress verification - Rolling 12- and 18-month capital projection modeling - Pre-close construction due diligence FOR GENERAL CONTRACTORS & CRE FIRMS (AI & AUTOMATION): - Workflow automation and custom AI agents using Power Automate, Zapier, and Claude. - Procore, Monday..com, and Acumatica optimization - Dashboard and reporting buildout across estimating, PM, and accounting - Process audits and team training to cut manual work WHAT CLIENTS SAY: "Rod delivered a solid underwriting model and cost analysis that gave me a clear baseline for evaluating the project. His work was well organized and assumptions were transparent." - CRE Developer, Mixed-Use Feasibility "Very experienced construction professional... Would highly recommend due to Rod's integrity, follow-through, professionalism, and being a pleasure to work with." - Owner, Construction Administration "Rod did a terrific job for us in helping set up systems and processes to better manage our construction and capital draw oversight." - Managing Partner, CRE Credit Fund "Excellent SME who provided a lot of great insight into our industry. Will hire again when we have need." - Proptech Founder BACKGROUND: Before consulting, I spent 3.5 years at Swinerton Builders estimating and scheduling projects from $2.5M to $200M - new hospitals, high schools, retail, and parking structures - and earned two Swinerton Excellence Awards for bringing major healthcare builds in under budget. I hold a B.S. in Civil & Structural Engineering from USC. Based in Austin, TX, available for both project-based and ongoing engagements, and I reply to most messages within a few hours.
