We already have management. Why bring in Greymont?
Your management team runs the building. Greymont gives ownership an independent assessment of how the operation is working, where the evidence points, and what deserves attention first. The purpose is to help you decide what to retain, what to change, and what to ask of the people responsible. You do not need to replace your managing agent to engage Greymont.
How will you work with our management team?
Greymont works alongside management and reports independently to ownership. We confirm access, contacts, and who receives the findings at the outset. Management has an opportunity to correct material facts; Greymont remains responsible for its conclusions. Urgent matters are raised promptly.
What if the board, ownership, and management disagree about what needs to change?
Ronan has worked with boards and management teams when priorities differ and decisions are contested. He hears each view, tests it against the evidence, and sets out the choices and trade-offs plainly. Where agreement is possible, he helps the parties reach it; where it is not, he makes clear which decisions rest with the board or ownership.
What will we have at the end, and who carries out the work?
You receive findings at week eight and a correction plan developed with your team thereafter. The plan covers the agreed priorities, proposed responsibilities, estimated costs, and decision dates. Ownership and its appointed team carry out the work. You can use the plan without retaining Greymont; any continuing support is agreed separately.
Why ninety days?
The ninety days cover both the review and the time to plan with your team. Findings are delivered at week eight, and the correction plan is developed with your team thereafter. Ronan is direct about what can reasonably be reviewed and planned within the agreed scope and the information available. Where a question cannot be settled in that time, the findings say so and name the next step. The ninety days begin on the date agreed in the engagement letter.
Will Ronan lead our Assessment personally?
Yes. Ronan leads every Assessment personally and is your main point of contact. Where specialist input is needed, the role and scope are agreed with you.
How is the fee set?
The Assessment has a fixed fee for a defined scope. After the first conversation, we confirm the work, timing, and fee before you decide whether to proceed. Additional work is agreed separately.
Can Greymont help develop the team?
Manager coaching directly related to the initial corrections is included within the Assessment’s scope. Implementation remains the responsibility of ownership and its appointed team. Broader training programs, specialist work, and any additional implementation support are agreed separately.
How much of our team’s time will this take?
The review requires access to the records in scope, relevant people, and the building. Before work begins, we confirm the main contact and how requests and meetings will be coordinated. The level of involvement depends on the agreed scope and the records available.
Is this a financial audit or technical inspection?
No. It is an operating review, not an engineering inspection, financial audit, legal opinion, valuation, or technical certification. Specialist work and any management appointment need their own agreement.
How will you protect our information?
We confirm access, recipients, and information handling before work begins. Use of non-public client information with AI requires prior written approval. Greymont checks its work and remains responsible for its findings and recommendations.
What happens in the first conversation?
The first conversation is a complimentary thirty-minute consultation to understand the property, the decision ahead, and whether Greymont is the right fit. We discuss scope, timing, and terms. Document review, findings, and recommendations begin under a signed engagement.
