Owner's Representative Services

---

• Successfully achieve your project goals and objectives.
• Ensure the project stays on track, on schedule and within the approved budget.
• Identify inherent risks and implement a project management plan to manage and mitigate them.
• Make informed decisions that keep the project on track.
• Establish clear lines of communication among all project team members.

As your Owner's Representative, we have the experience and expertise to look out for your best interests and efficiently guide you throughout all project phases—from inception, planning and design to construction, completion, and close-out. We provide the road map, navigating everything from project inception to final completion.

Our fee is established as a fixed amount, beyond our fee, all other expenses are "cost of work." This aligns our interests giving us the common objective to get the best price, from the right contractor or supplier. It becomes our duty as the construction manager to protect the owners interests with subcontractors and suppliers throughout the construction process. This allows us to provide additional cost savings to the owner that would not be realized in a hard bid scenario.

Our approach is collaborative, but one which provides accountability to all project team members. Using this approach, we become an extension of the Owner to assist in making informed decisions as the project moves from concept through to completion and close-out.

As your advocate, we will ensure your project progresses efficiently, all team members are engaged at the right time, contractual deliverables are met to maximize your investment
