Nash is widely known in the industry for his ability to create value, minimize risk, and delivering relentless customer service.
With acute attention to detail, each project is viewed through a risk mitigation lens while never losing sight of the big
picture—a requisite in a business that is high risk, at times volatile, and where tight margins can disappear overnight.
With a reputation for fairness, professionalism, resourcefulness, creativity, efficiency, and an undying commitment to
excellence, the company has built trusting relationships with clients and leading industry professionals nationwide. Access
to this valuable pool of resources is central to a continued record of project success. Decades of experience, solid

The Value to Clients of Early Engagement
NCON’s involvement early in the project has helped clients dramatically reduce risks and costs and achieve other important
project objectives. Early engagement maximizes the Owner’s return on investment for NCON’s services as it allows for a
detailed, well planned, thorough, and competitive procurement process for professional and construction services that
yields better cost/benefit options immediate and long term. Time and time again, history has proven when NCON is
engaged ahead of the designers and contractors, projects are always more successful, more cost effective, and less risky.
Testament to the firm’s competence is the record of involvement in legal disputes. Legal battles are usually indicative of
assembling the wrong partners in a deal, compiling ambiguous, less than complete and inaccurate construction and project
documents, or a combination thereof. Conflicts are disruptive, can impact schedule and costs, but more than anything
divert attention from building the project as well as distracting the client’s focus on his new facility. Until 2012, Chris Nash
was never encumbered in legal conflicts. In this particular case NCON represented the designers against a developer by
relying on accurate project records and Chris Nash’s knowledge of contract law in overturning a $3.5 million dollar lawsuit
filed against the design group. In addition the design group was able to recover past due design fees of $700,000.
The NCON Process
The three phases of the planning stage before blueprints are produced are the most critical of the building process. This is
where money, project goals, and time can be lost or gained. Years of success has garnished a large database of resources
that are tailored for each engagement. Skilled guidance in the conceptual phase and planning stages of a project will
eliminate unanticipated delays and extra costs, enabling a project to complete successfully, and creating value for the client
and end user.
Phase I – Fact Finding & Needs Assessment
An initial meeting with the client is geared toward understanding project objectives, budget, timeline, constraints,
challenges, and delivery method. The client may either retain the designers or choose a design/build arrangement whereby
the contractor designs and builds the project. Touted as a way of building cheaper, the downside of the design/build method
of delivery is a diminished layer of protection for the Owner with the loss of professional representation when the architect
and engineers work directly for the contractor. After being presented with a range of options, the client will be in an optimal
position to choose the method or combination of delivery methods best suited for the project.

4. P a g e | 4
Phase II – Programming, Planning & Procurement
Upon engagement NCON studies the client’s business operations and proceeds with design development, budgeting, and
scheduling. A detailed understanding of business operations is necessary to determine resources and will minimize the need
for costly changes that can negatively impact scheduling.
Phase III – Final Design & Construction
There are two methods to choose from in Phase III: (1) execution on a “fast track” basis wherein the design is only a few
steps ahead of construction or (2) the traditional approach of producing complete construction documents that are put
out to bid under a lump sum arrangement. Each method has its own risks, benefits, and downside. Approximately 70
percent of the work in NCON’s portfolio has been delivered on a fast-track basis. It is in this phase where the diligence put
forth in the previous two phases pays off as construction risk has been mitigated through pro-active management, and solid
documents compiled through a systematic approach that form the basis for successful negotiations.
Aesthetics & Cost Management
One very important component of the design process that many in the business do not place enough emphasis on is
aesthetics and creating a product with everlasting curb appeal. This is more prevalent on the design/build side where not
enough emphasis is placed on architectural value. Like a talented artist NCON is highly skilled at directing the designers in
drawing attractive and functional buildings without breaking the bank.

Value Added Case Studies
Ballantyne Village – Charlotte, North Carolina
Ballantyne Village is a mixed-use retail, office, hotel, and residential development valued in phase one at $75M with the
potential for $60M more in subsequent phases. It is on a 10-acre site at a major intersection in Ballantyne, a growing urban
center on Charlotte’s outer loop. NCON was engaged to be development and construction manager responsible for
directing the fast-track design and building of the site work, shell, and interior upfit of retail, office, medical, a performing
arts theatre, and parking garage. Phases I and II overlapped and at one point in time there were three general contractors
working on the site simultaneously.
Because of close proximity to existing buildings in future phases, in Phase I NCON orchestrated the planning and design to
pre-blast rock down to suitable bedrock for ease of excavation without risk of damage to existing buildings or major
disruption to daily activities and businesses during subsequent phases. Two future towers are designed for 25 plus floors,
and another 12 floors can be added to the cast in place concrete parking deck. Other improvements anticipated for the
future and incorporated in the master planning effort include all underground mechanical, electrical, and communications
infrastructure in anticipation of future phases with a potential for another 1,000,000 square feet of build out.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of SC – Columbia, South Carolina - L J Hooker Developments
The initial design for this 110,000 sf, $10M build-to-suit office building for Blue Cross Blue Shield of SC was literally sketched
on a cocktail napkin in a meeting with architects, the developer, and the Tenant. Four and a half months later the tenant
moved in, three days ahead of schedule. The timely completion meant that LJ Hooker would not be assessed a lump sum
$500,000 in late penalty damages. The success of this project resulted in repeat business for Hooker.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of SC – Columbia, South Carolina - Holmes Smith Developments
This single tenant, 348,410 sf build-to-suit was developed for Blue Cross Blue Shield in Columbia, South Carolina. The simple
yet highly functional design initially consisted of two wings attached to a central shaped core forming an “L” shaped building.
Early in the project BCBS decided it needed more space so the third wing was built and the shape now formed a “T.” Despite
the increased building size no schedule extensions were granted and the project completed as originally scheduled. After
Chris Nash’s involvement another wing was added, increasing the building size to 456,304 sf. The end result was a full cross
shape and a structure that is the largest single-tenant, low-rise office building in South Carolina.
Because of existing wetlands, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, the U.S. Army Corp of
Engineers, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency each had
sets of regulations that needed to be complied with. Chris Nash led the effort that obtained the necessary permits in six
weeks— a process that normally took six months.
150,000 SF Build to Suit Office Building
NCON represented the joint venture development partnership during the pre-development and procurement phases of this
2 story 150,000 square foot build to suit office building. The partnership had earlier issued a Letter of Intent to a general
contractor seeking to enter into a guaranteed maximum contract with a split savings. In the first meeting with the client,
tenant, and contractor, Chris Nash uncovered $500K of fluff in the budget that resulted in a reduction in the budget and
the tenant’s rental rate. Based on this demonstration of value added, NCON was engaged for subsequent projects.
100,000 SF Build to Suit Office Building
Chris Nash became involved with this project after it was awarded and construction was underway. The steel frame was
clad with a high-end brick veneer that started to show efflorescence shortly after the brickwork began. The contractor
claimed the condition was seasonal and would go away after a year. Not comfortable with the contractor’s claim Nash
brought in professionals to investigate. They determined the cause of the efflorescence was water trapped in the cavity
between the inside face of the brick and the exterior sheathing where mortar droppings had blocked the weep holes. The
new brick had to be remediated and quality control measures were established to prevent mortar from getting into the
cavity. Eventually the building continued to leak and more forensic investigations revealed additional blockages. After
another phase of remediation, the project was finally rendered absent any leaks or efflorescence. To this day, there is no
evidence of any efflorescence.
180,000 SF Build to Suit Office Building
Shortly after the tenant moved into this two-story build-to-suit office building that housed a national mortgage lender,
fireproofing on the structural steel and metal deck began to delaminate and at times crashed through the acoustical ceiling.
It was determined that the spray fireproofing was not compatible with the metal deck. The second floor was subject to
more serious dropping of fireproofing because crews had begun working on the roof before the spray waterproofing had
fully cured, which caused deflection of the deck due to loads and thus movement. After a tedious and lengthy remediation
and inspection process, Nash led the effort that fixed the problem with very little disruption to the tenant’s business
operations.
Governors Lakes – Atlanta, Georgia
This $15M project was a 250,000 sf two-building class development with six-story cast-in-place parking deck in Atlanta,
Georgia built for then what was NCNB, North Carolina National Bank as trustee for the NC Teachers Fund. When bid the
project was over budget by about $3M. As a young assistant project manager, Nash led the fast-track value engineering
effort that reduced costs primarily by altering pieces of a $2M granite package without major aesthetic impact, and re-
designing the cast-in-place concrete frame to reduce rebar weight per square foot from 12 lbs. to 7 lbs.

Douglas County Middle School – Atlanta, Georgia
Nash successfully bid and was assigned to serve as project manager on a 120,000 sf, $5.4M middle school project in Atlanta
for a hard bid general contractor out of Alabama. The masonry package, a large part of the total budget, was self-performed
primarily for control and budgetary reasons. The project was completed on time despite weather challenges and the original
fee of $250K increased to $700K largely due to buy out and tight management of the masonry material procurement process
and labor control. Deemed by the client as the most successful and judged the highest quality of 4 similar projects
constructed in the same period.
720,000 SF Manufacturing Facility
NCON represented the financier and future landlord for this build-to-suit 720,000 sf manufacturing and distribution center.
During the punchlist walkthrough areas of the floor slab showed evidence of delamination as the top ¼” to ¾” of the
concrete surface was spalling at random locations throughout the building. Approximately 42,000 sf of slab was removed
and replaced because of the extent of the problem in the initial floor pours. The building had areas of lesser severity, yet
with the potential to negatively impact the performance of the floor over time as the floor could spall, these areas were
identified and documented for future monitoring.
We knew the only way to determine the extent of the problem was to find the cause. When the contractor could not offer
a reasonable explanation, NCON brought in forensic engineers who determined the “bleed water was trapped” during the
curing process. They proceeded to inspect the entire floor to evaluate the potential for further problems. To ensure the
integrity of the floor slab and protect the client, NCON orchestrated securing a five-year extended warranty backed by a
performance and payment bond.
Various Projects – Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Nash worked for Santa Fe International, who in the early 1980’s was the largest oil exploration company in the world. Santa
Fe’s construction arm, C F Braun, had a construction management contract with ARAMCO, (the Arab American Oil Company)
located in ARAMCO’s world headquarters in Dhahran on the east coast of Saudi Arabia. After 4 months of service, Nash
was promoted and given charge of leading design and construction professionals for 20 building projects valued in excess
of $156,000,000.

What Others Are Saying About NCON & Chris Nash…..
George Sheild – Executive Vice President – Pavilion Properties, Inc. (Mr. Sheild was formerly with Ballantyne Village
Partners)
“In December 2000, my partner in Ballantyne Village Development and I closed on property at a high profile corner in south
Charlotte, NC, with an ambitious goal of developing a large mixed-use commercial property. We quickly needed to assemble
the “A” team for the development. Due to the complexity of development we set out to do, we knew a critical need would
be a top notch professional construction manager to insure a “no surprises, zero defects” project, from the beginning to
delivery. Having worked with Chris Nash of NCON in the past I felt he would be the best choice. Indeed he proved to be the
right choice in every regard. Chris provided considerable knowledge and experience and managed what became a
complicated multi-year $70,000,000 project. The project included decked parking below grade and above grade. The early
stages required extensive rock removal. We designed the project to have a multi-story commercial core of 165,000 sf with
an independent movie theater, retail shops, restaurants, and offices. The plan also included two mid-rise towers to be a mix
of retail, office, hotel, and hi-rise residential units. The ultimate scope of the project was to achieve as much as 450,000 sf
of mixed use development.”
“With eyes on the future, NCON recommended and orchestrated the initiative that incorporated infrastructure and
foundation modifications in the initial stages that ultimately will allow for a maximum build out, dramatically reducing the
cost for future development and creating much value for the years ahead.”
“Anyone seeking a competent development and project manager would be well served to include NCON in the process; Chris
Nash proved his competence many times over. I can gladly attest to his well-deserved reputation.”
Richard D. Kirschner – Vice President Manufacturing – Belden Wire & Cable Company
“Looking back over the life of this project, we could not have done it without Holmes Smith and Chris Nash. Your aid in bringing us
to Lancaster County has saved Belden and estimated $2M in land and development costs….. We are 110 percent pleased…”
Frank Buonanotte – Founder – The Shopping Center Group & Chain-Links
“I have known Chris for over 5 years and worked with him extensively when he was based in Atlanta. His construction company did
all of the build out of my Party City stores at that time. He is extremely competent and professional. He is honest, ethical, and very
reliable. As you know, these are valued and rare traits in a general contractor or construction company.”
Derek Gruner – Director Corporate Facilities Design Group – Jenkins Hancock & Sides Architects
“IknowChrisNashtobeoffinemoralcharacterandinsituationswhicharoseduringconstruction;heexhibitedfairnesstoallparties

Ted Schwartz – Managing Director – TenCal, LLC
“Our company’s experience working with Chris Nash and NCON has been excellent. Chris represented our lender on the
build to suit of a 257,400 SF industrial building in Shreveport, Louisiana. His expertise was instrumental in coordinating the
construction of the project between ourselves as developer, our general contractor, our lender, and our tenant. Chris’
knowledge, attention to detail, creativity and persistence kept all parties to the transaction informed on a timely basis and
beneficiaries of his pro-active approach to project management. We would not hesitate to engage Chris to work on future
development projects.”
Rob Fischer – VP Construction IDI (Industrial Development International) Memphis
“We have had an affiliation with Chris Nash that spans 3 decades having worked for and with him. He is a person of
uncompromising integrity, very knowledgeable in the ways of real estate development, and one of the best constructors I
know. His ideals of fairness, the ability to get the most out of people, and professionalism have contributed to his company’s
success. I know of many instances where he has demonstrated an innate ability to get things done under trying
conditions. He is capable of heading off potential problems, and when a problem does occur, his expert handling has saved
many a client’s neck and kept projects on track. Anyone hiring NCON can be assured of a successful project, especially in
instances where engagement is early in the development process. You cannot go wrong with NCON.”
Tom McGroarty – Director of Facilities TMG Medical
“I highly recommend Chris Nash and NCON for any type of building, property, and construction management, issues you
may need. He is highly knowledgeable, and a true professional in this field. I have worked with Chris since June of 2012, in
conjunction with our landlord, to finalize and get final repairs completed at a newly constructed 150,000 sq. ft. office
building. He has excellent written and verbal communication skills, is extremely organized and takes control of the situation
until it is resolved. He has been relentless on the company who built this building; construction companies like to build and
move on, but with Chris’ diligence, they are following up on their mistakes, at no charge. NCON would be an excellent choice
if you are in need of his services. Please do not hesitate to call to discuss.”
