About Forster Management

Forster Management is a project management and reserve study consulting firm that serves clients in the greater Bay Area from San Francisco to Monterey counties.  We specialize in helping Homeowner Associations create practical solutions to everyday problems as they relate to new or existing projects.

Create Big Picture Strategy

Forster Management's first step is to help identify your goals and define the vision for your solution. This process is critical to ensure all team members share a common understanding of the project and agree upon its specific goals.

Define Project Scope

Together we define your beginning and end points. We analyze options; develop resources, time, and cost estimates; and agree on deliverables, which help prevent costly change orders.

Develop Business Justification

Few businesses invest without considering their return. Forster Management works proactively with you to document your project's value, from cost savings to increased sales to quicker turnaround.

Design Robust Plans and Schedules

Forster Management develops comprehensive plans that serve as a roadmap for your entire project. These plans link interdependent activities and personnel, internally and across third parties. Such precise input enables us to coordinate interconnections and identify bottlenecks or other obstacles that need to be addressed.

Drive Plan Execution

The best-laid plans mean nothing if on-the-ground execution falls short. This is especially true the more complex the project and varied the stakeholders. Our project leaders work on-site and accept direct responsibility for proactively tracking and resolving issues, and capturing project metrics.

Orchestrate Communication Channels

Forster Management develops a formalized communication structure that defines who needs to know what and when, and creates project-specific channels for sharing information. Transparency is key. The team then can agree upon goals, raise and resolve issues, and become a cohesive group across functions and facilities.

Issue-Specific Conflicts or Disagreements
