Project Management
Advancing a remote construction project from concept to completion demands experience, technical expertise, and time. TLDI provides our clients with these resources, including both project leadership and the staff to manage the day-to-day details. Unlike a typical project management firm, which only provides administrative and technical support, our team comes to the table with a strong background in hospitality property design, engineering, construction, development, and management.
Our clients hire TLDI because they want more than a team of paper pushers. They appreciate the value-added that our experienced team delivers to help tackle development challenges, solve construction problems, and avoid regulatory pitfalls, all while managing the everyday details and keeping your entire project moving forward in a timely manner.
The TLDI team understands the resort business because we’ve worked on every side of it. We’ve been the developers, the investors, the architects, the engineers and the contractors. This level of expertise is something that most project management firms simply can’t offer.
Turn-Key Construction
TLDI has established relationships with many architectural, engineering, supplier and construction partners in North America, Mexico and the Caribbean. By joining forces with these experienced partners, we offer an integrated solution that encompasses the entire development process, from sketching out the first designs to handing the keys over to the final resort operators.
Our project-specific teams are typically comprised of several niche companies working together under a single contract, such as a Design and Build with a Lump Sum Price contract or an EPC (Engineering Procurement and Construction) turn-key contract.
Unlike large international firms with pre-established vendor lists, TLDI has the freedom and flexibility to select companies that are best suited for our Clients’ individual projects. Our experience working on the investor side has shown us time and time again that this collaborative, turn-key approach results in reduced conflicts, higher quality, faster execution, and lower costs – typically at least a 15% cost reduction compared with working with larger firms.
Development Management
While TLDI specializes in the comprehensive planning and construction of beachfront hospitality destinations, we are well-versed in the broad range of development activities that must occur to establish a successful hospitality business.
Our experts work side-by-side with owners on issues that extend far beyond property design and construction. From advising on land prospects to negotiating with financial institutions during the construction process to supporting marketing efforts prior to opening, the TLDI team can add value at every step of the investment life cycle.
Having extensive experience working directly for owners, the TLDI team is uniquely positioned to understand and implement our clients’ discrete investment objectives for each of our engagements. Our projects not only create a memorable and satisfying experience for guests, but more importantly deliver strong financial returns with reduced risk and exposure.
