Interior renovation of your Japanese property ──
language, business customs, quality, cost, schedule — all integrated from the middle.
PIM (Project Integration Management) ── Kakehashi Realty manages your Japanese property renovation as an independent third party, integrating every aspect of the project.
PIM is not mere translation, nor construction supervision alone.
Six distinct disciplines, unified into one seamless service.
Drawings, estimates, specs, minutes, reports — all documents in your language, with technical precision and cultural nuance intact.
Bridging Japan's implicit agreement culture and overseas written-contract culture — a clear communication structure that eliminates misunderstanding.
Using architectural expertise to scrutinize drawings and estimate breakdowns. Separating "lump-sum" items for fair, comparable bidding.
Documenting the owner's "expected quality" in a formal Quality Standard. Bridging the gap with Japan's norms and giving contractors a clear target.
From initial estimate assessment to change-order reviews and monthly expenditure tracking — transparent cost structure maintained throughout.
Master schedule design, regular progress reviews, early risk detection. Ensuring the handover date is met with certainty.
A boutique real estate firm in Yokohama's Yamate since 2005, consistently chosen by Western and overseas Chinese high-net-worth clients.
What we have built is not a count of transactions, but accumulated trust.
From purchase to handover.
Kakehashi stands beside you from start to finish.
Deep-dive interview on the owner's vision, lifestyle, budget and preferences. Documented as a formal Requirements Brief.
Two to three certified architects proposed by Kakehashi. Contract signed with Kakehashi present as independent monitor.
Written owner approval at every design stage. Kakehashi formalizes the Quality Standard document.
Three or more competing bids, itemized scrutiny, and price negotiation. Independent review and recommendation by Kakehashi.
Weekly reports, monthly reviews, 7-stage interim inspections. Full visibility from anywhere in the world.
Independent final inspection, snagging, and handover documentation. After-service support for 12 months post-handover.
PIM fee is based on 15–20% of total construction cost.
When you consider the extra costs, trouble costs and time costs of proceeding alone, this is an investment that always pays back.
We would be glad to tell you more about PIM.
All initial consultations are free of charge and conducted under NDA.
