OWNER'S REPRESENTATION

"Over 40 yrs in the commercial industrial complex,

we know what to look for...

from the ground being cleared to the finish roof,

we are your eyes and ears

when you can’t be onsite. Lets talk, we customize

each job for each Owner."

~ Steven Menard

Third Party Knowledge

An Owner’s Representative is a valuable

asset to any Project Owner

We operate as part of the project team, but work under a separate contract held directly with the owner. Our role is to act on behalf of the owner to oversee the entire project. This can include the planning, design, construction and commissioning, as well as the closeout phases. An owner’s representative reports directly to the owner and always acts in their best interest. With knowledge in all areas of design and construction, we offer valuable and unbiased advice.

Why do I need an owner’s representative?

If you already have a qualified team working on your project, you may wonder why you need to hire a separate owner’s representative. Essentially, we are different from the rest of the team in one very important way – we work for you, the owner. Everything we do will be in your best interest period. If your project already has a scope the Engineer has specified certain brands or items, we make sure your General Contractor or Construction Manager has actually purchased what was specified and we make sure you are getting what you paid for and we consult directly with you to determine whether or not you are being made whole.

This means we offer impartial advice with no conflicting interest. We can help professionally navigate any issues that may arise, as well as prevent problems from occurring in the first place. There are many things that can go wrong in a construction project, which may impact schedule or cause budget issues. Having an owner’s representative oversee your project can mitigate those risks that may develop.

What services do we provide?

An owner’s rep can perform a range of services at every facet of a project, depending on the owner’s specific needs. Our goal is to reduce costs, maximize value, ensure construction quality, and keep the project on budget and schedule. We advocate for you the Client and make sure your project is in our best interest. If you can't make meetings let our digital access management system keep you well informed and up to date.

Summary of an Owner’s Representative

Budget and schedule development/management: 

An owner’s representative assists with budget development for the project, providing options to ensure the best value and efficiency. They also make sure that unnecessary costs are avoided to keep the project on budget. The owner’s representative will also provide proactive schedule management to avoid delays and make sure the project is completed on time.

Design oversight and review: 

The best time to hire an owner’s representative is before the design phase even begins. Acting as the owner’s advocate during the planning and design stages of the process, we can oversee and review designs to ensure the owner’s needs are being met. We can also ensure that applicable codes and regulations are being followed and considered from the very beginning of a project.

Construction coordination and monitoring: 

An owner’s representative is also involved throughout the entire construction phase of the project. We may even manage contractor procurement and pre-qualification. We closely observe construction through all facets to make sure everything is being completed on time and according to the projects design.

Punch list and closeout management: 

An owner’s representative makes sure that the project is closed out properly. We verify that all contractual obligations have been met, and verify all documentation (Owner’s Manuals) make sure that all Blue prints have been properly marked up (red-lined) which shows in the future what has been done that deviated from the original drawings etc.

Whether building a new property or renovating an existing one, hiring an owner’s representative will ensure that you always have an advocate to guide your project and ensure it’s delivered on time, within budget, and to a high degree of quality.
