About Faust Haus

  • Challenge Accepted

    At Faust Haus, experience translates to each successful project. We are honored to have worked on projects for privately held companies, government agencies, and not for profits.

    We have honed our expertise over 30 years of delivering projects in the built environment.

  • An Extension of You

    At Faust Haus, we are more than Project Managers.

    We are partners. We are advocates. We are connectors. We are problem solvers.

    Committed from the beginning. Dedicated until the very end. Working on your behalf until your vision is realized.

  • Conflict Free

    Every real estate project involves multiple firms - each with their own priorities to their bottom line, portfolio, and business objectives.

    Faust Haus ensures that your interests and budget always come first.  We are the only member of any project team without self-serving priorities. We are only satisfied when the project results meet the objectives set by you.

It’s Not About the Project

The project provides the space for your business. But it is not your business. We link the project objectives with business objectives to focus on areas that reduce risk, provide value, and transform your business.
