Consulting

The Ruby Group’s management and construction expertise is an invaluable resource to developers, investors other property owners and entrepreneurs seeking to maximize their profits. We provide a wide array of consulting and expert services, including:

  • Advising developers and contractors on how to best manage their companies so they thrive during all phases of the real estate cycle, from boom to bust to boom again. Many developers and contractors are “reactive,” meaning they adjust staffing, financing and strategic planning when forced to by changes. The Ruby Group helps them become “proactive” by planning ahead and adopting staffing and strategic plans that enable them to continue progressing throughout market cycles.
  • Helping business owners evaluate the potential tax and equity benefits of owning their own buildings and facilities. Many entrepreneurs and managers overlook the possible benefits of owning their buildings, believing that renting is the most cost-effective option available. The Ruby Group helps owners and managers assess their company’s current situation and future plans to determine whether they should own or rent. If ownership is the best choice, The Ruby Group helps clients identify, purchase and build-out space that is ideally suited to their needs.
  • Conducting classes and seminars. Ruby Group CEO Pete Berman is a respected speaker and instructor for a number of National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) professional-certification classes. He has spoken to numerous builder and Realtor® trade groups as well as employees and management of individual companies. Presentations can be based on existing curricula or custom-designed for a particular group or company.
  • Sales and marketing support and back-office advice for and general contractors, project managers and subcontractors who want to take their company to the next level.
  • Motivational seminars for employees.
The Ruby Group also has created a sub-contractor/partner business planning model based on our three generations of working with sub-contractors. Our business planning model takes a look at the past and the present in order to prepare for the future. We want to help you become a more efficient business operation by improving your financial position and quality of life.
