Advise · Owner’s Representation

Your side of the table, every day.

An experienced controls advisor working only for you, holding the design team and contractors to the schedule and budget you approved, and telling you the truth when it matters.

Why it matters.

01

Everyone else has an advisor

Contractors and designers bring experienced teams to every negotiation. Owners without their own expert are outmatched on their own project.

02

Owners carry the final risk

Whatever happens on site, the owner pays for the overrun, the delay and the lost revenue. Your interests need a dedicated voice.

03

Small decisions add up

Approvals of schedules, changes and payments happen every week. Each one that is accepted without review shifts risk onto you.

Our approach

How we work.

  1. 01

    Project setup and strategy

    Budget, schedule, contract strategy and controls structure agreed at the start, so the project begins with clear expectations.

  2. 02

    Contractor oversight

    Baselines, updates, pay applications and change proposals reviewed independently before you approve them.

  3. 03

    Decision support

    Clear options, costs and schedule effects laid out for each major decision, with our recommendation stated plainly.

  4. 04

    Lender and stakeholder reporting

    Monthly reports for boards, investors and lenders that show progress, forecasts and risks honestly.

  5. 05

    Issue resolution

    Early intervention on delays, changes and disputes, with the evidence in hand to resolve them before they escalate.

In practice · Waterfront Residential Tower

A completion date the lender could trust.

The waterfront tower was financed against a lender-approved completion date. Working for the developer, we reviewed every contractor schedule update and pay application, reported progress honestly to the lender each month and pushed for recovery the moment the critical path started to slip.

Questions clients ask us.

How is an owner’s representative different from a construction manager?

We do not build or manage trades. We work only for you, reviewing, measuring and advising, with no stake in the contractor’s price or schedule.

When should we hire an owner’s representative?

Before design and procurement begin. Early involvement shapes the budget, schedule and contract, where it saves the most.

Can you work for lenders as well as owners?

Yes. We provide independent monitoring and draw review for lenders and investors who need confidence in the progress they are funding.

Do you need to be on site full time?

Not always. We scale our presence to the project, from full-time embedded staff to periodic reviews and monthly reporting.
