HOW WE WORK

No management theater. No cookie-cutter playbooks.

Every project has a fault line, the space between what was designed and what gets built. That's where budgets break, schedules slip, and trust disappears. Most firms work on one side of that line. GRPM Services was built to work inside it.

Over 30 years spanning architecture, construction, and development, we don't just manage projects. We translate between the people who draw them and the people who build them.

Nonprofits & developers

who need someone watching their investment.

Architects

who need their vision to survive the field.

General contractors

who need the drawings decoded before week one becomes a problem.

Three clients. Three services. One standard.

​​"In Zen, the space between things is where meaning lives. In construction, it's where outcomes are decided. We chose to work that space, not with theory, but with boots, blueprints, and more than three decades of saying it straight."

Gil Rosa 

FOUNDER & CEO / PRINCIPAL-IN-CHARGE

Gil Rosa has spent 30 years in the gap between what gets designed and what gets built, the place where intent collides with field conditions and projects are won or lost. He has worked every side of that table: trained as an architect, seasoned as a builder, trusted as an owner's representative. Over three decades, Gil has navigated capital projects from $6M to $48M. He was an integral member of several prominent NYC architectural firms, managed affordable housing development at Habitat for Humanity NYC, and served as Senior Project Manager at Abyssinian Development Corporation, one of Harlem's most consequential community development organizations. Having operated on both sides of every table in this industry, he knows what each party needs, where communication breaks down, and how to keep a project moving when it stalls. In 2015 he founded GRPM Services LLC in New York City to formalize what he'd always done: bridge the gap. Today GRPM serves owners who need a trusted navigator, contractors who need the drawings translated into executable plans, and architects who need their design intent protected once the work hits the field. His approach is shaped by more than construction. A student of Zen philosophy and martial arts, Gil brings a practitioner's discipline to every engagement, the belief that clarity of purpose, preparation, and presence are what separate projects that drift from projects that deliver. He calls it the outcome mindset. At GRPM, it's the operating principle. He doesn't manage from a distance. He reads the site, asks the hard questions early, and builds the strategies that keep work moving when the unexpected arrives. In construction, it always does.

Paul Nair

SENIOR PRINCIPAL / PROJECT EXECUTIVE 

Paul Nair has spent more than 38 years building in New York City from every position on the field: owner's rep, general contractor, construction manager, subcontractor, estimator, field super. He has held the budget, written the scopes, leveled the bids, and closed out the paperwork. When he walks a site, he sees what the architect intended, what the contractor is building, and where the two are about to diverge. His range is the rare part. Trained in architecture at Pratt Institute, Paul started at the drafting table, preparing construction documents and inspecting ornamental facades, learning firsthand what happens when design meets the real world. Then he crossed to the other side: running estimating and purchasing for major NYC union general contractors, building and operating his own union masonry and carpentry firm, and managing projects from $20M to $150M, foundation through sign-off and occupancy. The project list speaks for itself. The RIU Plaza Hotel Times Square, the first ground-up $100M+ non-union project in NYC history. Jazz at Lincoln Center. The $120M Medgar Evers College Academic Building. Abyssinian Development Corporation's Thurgood Marshall II. Forest City Ratner's MetroTech Center. Columbia University. The Element Hotel. The Doubletree. The Bronx DA's Office at Concourse Plaza. What makes Paul rare isn't the size of the projects, it's how many sides of them he has worked. Owner's rep, general contractor, construction manager, subcontractor, trade principal, estimator, field super. That full-spectrum view is what he brings to every GRPM engagement: see it clearly, say it straight, build the outcome.

Nick Busa 

SENIOR PROJECT CONSULTANT

 

Nicholas Busà builds outcomes. His edge is anticipation: he reads a set of conditions, spots where the drawings and the field are about to diverge, and has the work-around ready before the call comes in. From concept through certificate of occupancy, that field intelligence is what keeps projects on budget, on schedule, and true to the owner's original intent. His background runs wide. Millwork drafting, custom kitchen and high-end residential design, hospitality and hotel-group estimating, and property development work with organizations including Habitat for Humanity NYC. He's equally at home reading structural drawings and managing subcontractor schedules, which is exactly the skill set owners and architects need once a project hits the field. At GRPM, Nicholas works across all three of the firm's disciplines: guiding owners through the complexity of development and renovation, helping contractors decode drawings and manage workflows, and giving architects on-site representation that protects their design intent when it matters most. His current project reach spans Provincetown, Cape Cod, New York City, Westchester County, Florida, and Puerto Rico. What sets him apart is that anticipation. Reading conditions, identifying where the gap between drawings and field is about to become a problem, and having the plan ready before anyone asks. That isn't just experience. That's the outcome mindset.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

Testimonials

"GRPM brings something rare to field architecture work. They come to every site visit prepared, observant, and ready to problem solve in real time. Their documentation is thorough, their condition assessments are precise, and their feedback on field issues is always grounded in both design intent and construction reality. From buildability reviews to field sketches to progress reporting, GRPM handles it all with a level of professionalism that makes my job easier and my projects run smoother. When I need eyes on a site I can trust, GRPM is who I call."



— Carlos A. Mieles, R.A., Principal, CAM Architect
"In community-centered acquisition work, the due diligence isn't just about protecting our organization. It's about understanding what tenants have actually lived through and building a case for why different ownership matters. GRPM Services helped us do both. Their review of 22 buildings gave us a detailed, evidence-based picture of deferred maintenance, regulatory neglect, and lien exposure that informed not just our financial modeling but our advocacy strategy. They understand the intersection of physical conditions, public records, and preservation outcomes in a way that's rare and genuinely valuable."


— Dominic Colangelo, Associate Developer, Spatial Equity Co.
"When we were evaluating properties for acquisition, we needed more than a building inspection. We needed someone who could translate complex technical and regulatory findings into decisions we could actually act on. GRPM Services did exactly that. They dug into the DOB records, HPD violations, and capital needs for each property and came back with a clear picture of what we were really buying. Their reports gave our board the confidence to move forward strategically, not just on instinct. For a community land trust working to preserve affordable housing in East Harlem, having that level of professional guidance made a real difference."

— Brian Peters, Executive Director, El Barrio/East Harlem Community Land Trust
