IMG Construction Management

What IMG Construction Management does

IMG Construction Management is a privately held, Southern California-based professional services firm that provides an integrated suite of real estate development services to property owners, developers, lenders, and landowners. The firm combines four core service lines — Development Services (strategic planning, entitlements, due diligence, underwriting, and proforma development), Construction Management (project scheduling using Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project, cost estimating, bid management, field management, and post-construction closeout), Utility Services (dry utility planning and coordination including electrical, telecom, fiber, and gas), and in-house Legal Services (contract negotiation, delay analysis, expert witness, arbitration) — under a single point of contact. The company also operates a Coastal Concierge Luxury Custom Homes division serving high-end custom residential builders.

The firm is led by two principals — Oscar Uranga (Director of Development Services, PMP-certified, 23+ years of experience) and Brett Isaacman (Director of Construction Management, J.D./California Bar member, 20+ years of experience) — whose complementary credentials underpin the integrated model. Go-to-market is consultative and relationship-driven, with principals directly engaging enterprise and mid-market clients; deal flow is generated through ULI membership, HomeAid board participation, referrals, and the firm's project portfolio website. Revenue is earned through quote-based professional services fees negotiated per engagement, supported by A-General Engineering and B-General Construction contractor licenses.

IMG self-describes as a "nationwide" firm, but operations are concentrated in California (Los Angeles, Irvine, San Diego, Anaheim, Pasadena, Oceanside, Westminster, etc.) with select completed or active projects in Mesa, AZ; Westfield, IN; Garland, TX; and San Luis Obispo. The reported portfolio spans 50+ projects across market-rate and affordable multi-family, mixed-use apartments, hotels, retail/commercial/light industrial, and luxury custom homes. No external funding, parent company, or subsidiary relationships are evident from the available source material.
