Hired by the owner, an owner’s representative is a construction professional representing their interests throughout each stage of construction. With years of experience in project development from conception through design, construction, and closeout, an owner’s representative offers valuable, unbiased advice to ensure a project meets the owner’s goals and objectives.

What Does an Owner’s Representative Do?

Having extensive construction knowledge, an owner’s representative uses their background to ensure successful project completion and monitor for cost overruns and delays that can negatively impact a project’s timeline and budget. Below are some core services that an owner’s representative provides:

  • Property condition assessment
  • Scope development
  • Design team procurement: Architect, Engineers, and Consultants
  • Development of conceptual budget
  • Solicitation and procurement of general and sub-contractors
  • Development, maintenance, and adherence to the master budget
  • Facilitate terms and conditions of contracts as well as guaranteed maximum pricing
  • Facilitate permitting process and regulatory requirements
  • Facilitate, coordinate, and oversee all construction
  • Interfacing with the property manager
  • Punch list and closeout management
