When leading retail brands need a project managed right — on spec, on schedule, and without surprises — they call EAS Consulting Partners.
EAS manages the full construction lifecycle for retail brands — sitting between corporate and the field so nothing falls through the cracks and nothing exceeds the budget.
Ground-up and shell-to-finished management of new retail locations. Every trade, every permit, every deadline — owned by EAS from day one.
Phased transformation of existing locations against corporate brand standards — delivered with minimal disruption to store operations and revenue.
The single point of accountability between your corporate team and every contractor on site. EAS vets, manages, and holds every trade responsible.
With over two decades in retail construction management, Elias Abu Shanab has built a reputation that speaks for itself. He has guided some of America's most recognized brands through complex, high-stakes construction programs — delivering on scope, on schedule, and to exacting corporate standards.
Where most consultants manage projects, Elias manages outcomes. He understands the language of the boardroom and the reality of the jobsite — and operates with complete fluency in both. That rare duality is why brands return to EAS when the project matters most.
EAS Consulting Partners was founded on a simple principle: enterprise clients deserve enterprise-grade oversight without the overhead of a large firm. Elias brings the depth of a major construction management practice to every engagement — with the responsiveness and accountability that only an owner-led firm can deliver.
EAS has earned long-term partnerships with brands that demand the best — managing construction programs at scale across dozens of locations and multiple markets.
