Owner Representation is a simple idea executed across a thousand details. We are the single point of accountability between you and every other party in the project — the architect, the engineers, the general contractor, the landlord, the furniture vendor, the AV integrator, the city, the commissioning agent, the movers. We don’t replace any of them. We make sure all of them deliver what you’re paying for.
The Phases
Phase 1: Before the lease or land deal
This is where the largest dollars are won or lost, and where most owners haven’t yet thought to bring us in. We help you size the requirement honestly, test buildings for technical fit before you fall in love with one, model total project cost (not just construction), and negotiate the work letter and delivery condition with your broker and counsel. By the time you sign, the project’s economics are locked in. We make sure they’re locked in favorably.
Phase 2: Planning & Design
We assemble your team — architect, engineers, specialty consultants — and we manage them. That means running an honest RFP, negotiating fees that reflect scope, and then holding the team to a program, a budget, and a schedule they agreed to. We chair the meetings. We track the decisions. We say no when “just a small change” isn’t small.
Phase 3: Procurement and construction
We bid the work the right way: enough competition to know the price is real, enough rigor to know the bidders can actually do it. We negotiate the contract — GMP, lump sum, or cost-plus, whichever fits — and then we live in the weekly OAC meetings, the change order log, the pay app reviews, and the schedule recovery conversations. If something is slipping, you hear it from us before it’s a problem, not after.
Phase 4: Closeout and occupancy
The last five percent of a project is where most of the warranty issues are born. We push punch lists to actual completion, coordinate commissioning so the building works the way it was designed, collect the closeout documents the way your facilities team will actually need them, and walk the project with you at eleven months to catch warranty items before they expire.
