What SD-Cap does

SD-Cap (legal entity SD-Cap Construction Management LLC) is a US-based construction management firm founded in 2020 and headquartered in Addison, Texas, with a regional office in Charleston, South Carolina. The company provides project and financial management services for multifamily property owners, investors, and developers across 15+ states, with additional specialized offerings for student housing and senior living developers. Its core services span due diligence, financial management, multifamily construction management, and risk management, structured around a proprietary 5-Phase Management Process that the firm claims eliminates the industry-standard 27% cost overruns and 73% project delay rates while delivering 5-10% cost savings for clients.

The company operates as a B2B professional services firm using a project-based engagement model with quote-based, scope-driven pricing. Its technology stack includes cloud-based project management platforms, Building Information Modeling (BIM) concepts, AI-powered safety cameras, equipment telematics, 360-degree site documentation cameras, and centralized safety dashboards. Two named enterprise clients are publicly disclosed — The Bascom Group and Catalyst Housing Group — and go-to-market is driven by direct enterprise sales and senior-led relationship management, with the President personally overseeing client relationships.

SD-Cap holds MBE (Minority Business Enterprise) certification through the National Minority Supplier Development Council, providing access to diversity-mandated and government project pipelines. The team is small (10 named professionals) with leadership carrying deep credentials — including Director of Construction Craig A. Fritsinger with 40+ years of experience and President Heather Gorhan, who has overseen more than $430 million of multifamily reposition contracts. The company is privately held, founder-owned by Steve Deleon, and has no disclosed outside funding.
