Case Studies

Wood Frame Multifamily Construction

Private Equity Partnership Project

A private equity group engaged Foundry & Forged to evaluate construction performance on a mid-scale multifamily development approaching a critical financing milestone. The ownership team needed clear visibility into risk exposure, schedule realism, and the credibility of subcontractor reporting prior to releasing the next draw. Foundry & Forged conducted an independent evaluation of baseline drift, field productivity, sequencing, and cost-to-complete accuracy. Our findings provided the capital partner with the clarity they needed to restructure oversight, reforecast potential exposure, and negotiate from a position of strength—ultimately protecting both timeline and return expectations.

Modern Multifamily – Red Balcony Accents

Investor Deck Project

A real estate developer engaged Foundry & Forged to refine their investor-facing deck for an upcoming design-build acquisition. The challenge involved translating complex technical data—site conditions, cost modeling, phasing, and projected exposure—into clear, institutional-grade materials. We rebuilt the deck structure, strengthened narrative flow, and integrated capital-oriented visuals that aligned with lender and LP expectations. The resulting advisory framework gave the developer a sophisticated, board-ready presentation that accurately reflected both design feasibility and risk posture, ultimately improving alignment with prospective capital partners and increasing confidence in the project’s execution strategy.
