The Project Work You Shouldn't Want In-House Anymore
Running bid administration and project oversight on a percentage fee used to be a revenue line. Under SF 1750, it's a conflict-of-interest exposure with your company's name on it. Hand it to an independent third party — and keep the client relationship that actually pays.
The Problem
The math changed
You know the old model: the management company runs the reroof bid, coordinates the project, and earns a project-management fee — often a percentage of construction cost. The board was happy to have it handled, and the fee made the account worth servicing.
SF 1750 turned that model into the exact arrangement the law targets: the party administering the competitive process is also the party that profits from its outcome. Every project your team runs that way is now a compliance question a board member, an owner, or opposing counsel can ask — and the answer lands on your company, not just the association.
Dropping project services entirely isn't a great answer either. Your boards still need the work done, and "call a contractor yourself" is how accounts get poached.
The Fix
White-label independence: your relationship, our firewall
You keep the client
You bring us in as the independent bid administrator or owner's representative for your board. We work under your coordination, your board keeps one point of contact, and your company is the one that solved the problem.
We carry the independence
Bids come to us, openings are recorded, evaluations are documented — by a party with no percentage fee and no stake in which vendor wins. So there's no conflict for your board to explain.
Everything is disclosed
The relationship between your company and ours is disclosed to the board in writing, every time. That's not a formality — the disclosure is what makes the arrangement defensible under the new rules.
We're a partner, not a competitor. We don't offer community management and never will — no accounting, no assessments, no violation letters, no board packets. Every association we serve through this program stays your client. Referrals run both directions: boards ask us for management recommendations more often than you'd think.
How It Works
Three ways companies plug us in
- Per-project. A board has a big project coming; you bring us in to run the bid, the oversight, or both. Scoped and priced per engagement.
- Portfolio arrangement. A standing relationship covering every association in your book that crosses the bid threshold — consistent process, consistent documentation, one call to mobilize.
- Team readiness. Training for your portfolio managers on where their role now ends and independent administration must begin, plus compliance reviews of existing project practices before someone else reviews them for you.
