Owner's Rep / Construction Management
$4,500–$60,000 per project
When you're building something but don't have the in-house expertise to ride herd on the contractor, an owner's representative protects your money and your timeline. We act as your construction manager and owner's rep on projects we aren't building ourselves: reviewing bids and contracts, pressure-testing the schedule, scrutinizing change orders and pay applications, monitoring quality and code compliance, and translating contractor-speak into decisions you can actually make. For property owners, investors, and businesses managing a buildout from a distance, it's a fraction of the project cost to have someone on your side who knows exactly where buildouts go wrong.

What does an owner's representative do?
An owner's representative protects your money and timeline on a project someone else is building — reviewing bids and contracts, pressure-testing the schedule, scrutinizing change orders and pay applications, monitoring quality and code compliance, and translating contractor-speak into decisions you can actually make. It's having someone on your side who knows exactly where buildouts go wrong.
What is the difference between a general contractor and a construction manager?
A general contractor builds the project and is responsible for delivering it, while a construction manager or owner's rep advises and represents the owner's interests, often on a project another contractor is building. We do both — but as an owner's rep, our only job is to protect your budget, schedule, and quality, not to deliver the construction ourselves.
Do I need an owner's rep if I already have a general contractor?
An owner's rep is worth it when you don't have the in-house expertise to ride herd on your contractor, especially if you're managing a buildout from a distance. We review the GC's pay applications and change orders, verify quality and code compliance on-site, and give you plain-English reporting so you're not flying blind on your own project.
Can you review a contract and budget before I sign?
Yes — bid, contract, and budget review before you sign is one of the highest-value things an owner's rep does. We pressure-test the schedule, flag risky contract terms and budget gaps, and make sure you understand exactly what you're committing to before money changes hands.
