Wander Group gives you the confidence to understand the risks and rewards before tackling physical improvement projects.  Many organizations see a local need for physical improvements but lack the technical expertise or the experience to see projects through.  From concept to completion, most projects can take a few years: Wander Group can assist in developing project scheduling that provides continuity regardless of staff turnover, funding shortages, regulatory issues or poor planning.

If your organization has applied or received public funds for physical improvement projects and is unsure whether it has sufficient expertise to deliver, Wander Group can supplement your efforts by providing only the services you need.  We mitigate project risk, while your organization learns from the experience and receives all the credit!

Facade Improvement Programs
Boston, MA; Chinatown, Adams Morgan, Mt. Pleasant, D.C.
Wander Group’s Tom Litke reenergized local programs, coordinating over seventy sign and façade improvements throughout business districts.  Under strict timelines, project team members coordinated design, construction and administration.  In most cases, the projects increased owners’ financial and personal commitment.  No tenants were lost during renovations.  The projects leveraged above average private/public funds.

Gaziantep, Turkey
During three-month visit, Wander Group’s Tom Litke directed local historic preservation programming, including competitive grant application for World Monuments Fund (WMF) “List of 100 Endangered Historic Sites.”  He coordinated surveys and drafted the conservation plan, action plan, and funding requests. This was the first of two WMF consulting projects awarded under his direction.  The second was Plum Orchard Historic District on Cumberland Island, Georgia.
