There are many reasons for an Owner’s Representative on most projects. Typically an owner has neither the time nor the desire to manage their complicated construction project and many owners or developers recognize that they don’t want to be consumed with managing construction on a day-to-day basis. The bottom line is that a good Owner’s Rep ensures the project is ultimately successful.
The Owner’s Rep can be an invaluable asset on many levels;
- Expertise – as a construction professional, the Owner’s Rep brings a wide breadth of knowledge and experience to the entire development process, from the big-picture down to the tiniest of details.
- Organization – an Owner’s Rep keeps thorough records, tracking the progress, decisions, and changes throughout the project timeline.
- Communication – by facilitating timely and appropriate meetings, phone calls, and emails, the Owner’s Rep accelerates the construction process by avoiding untimely and frustrating delays.
- Decision Making – an Owner’s Rep helps guide you through the difficult challenges of making timely, informed decisions.
