We Provide MORE than Constructive Advice
10 Reasons to Hire Owner's Rep
1. Feasibility Study / Due Diligence
“Is there someone (who understands construction) who can create the proforma for my project and see it through to completion?”
“Does my new use comply with local codes & zoning?”
“Are there grants available for my project?”
2. Cost Estimating/Monitoring
“Can I afford this property/building AND the cost of construction?”
“My project is in danger of Change Order overload.”
3. Design and Construction Team
“I have a great _________________ (builder, architect, banker), how can I round out my team for a successful project?”
“What’s the best delivery method for my project? Design Build, Guaranteed Maximum Price, Lump-Sum Agreement, Cost Plus,
Construction Manager/ General Contractor/Both.”
4. Initial Decision Maker – IDM
“I’d like to have a 3rd party on standby.”
“ We have a legitimate claim and need an objective decision/opinion.”
“Our agreement calls for an independent Initial Decision Maker.”
5. Owner Advocacy
“I’d like someone to be my advocate during construction while I run my business.”
“Who’s watching my construction costs?”
“Our company is moving and we can’t afford “down time.”
6.Value Engineering
