focus.upstate believes that strong projects are built on clear expectations, disciplined planning, and well‑managed processes. Our role is to bring structure to complexity and confidence to decision‑making.
Experience supporting real estate development and construction teams
Strong understanding of schedules, budgets, and procurement
Clear, practical documentation—not academic deliverables
Flexible engagement models tailored to project needs
We are not a traditional owner’s rep or construction manager. We focus on the planning, documentation, and process work that makes those roles more effective.
focus.upstate is led by Shannon Ford, a development professional with experience across architecture, project management, and real estate consulting. Her background bridges the gap between design intent, financial realities, and construction execution — bringing a balanced perspective to every project.
