Starting a construction project whether big or small is no menial task. There are a lot of things to consider, a lot of things that can go awry with your project. Keep in mind that the hardest part of the construction begins way before you push your first shovel to the ground. An Owner's Representative can ease all your construction project worries and allow you a successfully completed project without all the hassle.
The Owner's Rep
The OR is a construction professional, a well experienced individual who in essence will manage your construction project. Someone who knows all the ropes, Someone who can anticipate possible hitches and address them before they become a problem. Most importantly, someone who will always consider your best interest in every decision.
The owner's representative will be your eyes and ears in the construction project. They will deal with all vendors, designers, contractors and even inspectors. They will also deal with permits, documentation, approvals and sign offs.
The Owner
Most owners don’t know much about construction and as a result managing their own construction projects often lead to disaster, delays and budget overruns. They more often than not fail to anticipate construction challenges and so fail to prepare for them that often leads to the project getting delayed, costing too much or worse yet, ending up incomplete or a completed building not up to the owner's standards, desire and requirements.
With the right owner's representative in place, the owner need only to visit the project once in a while since they will get periodic reports for all project milestones and be a part only of the most major decisions during the construction process. The owner can finally concentrate on their business, work or family and need not worry because the project is being taken care of effectively.
In the end, many owners think that an owner's representative is an unnecessary addition to the project team without realizing that in actuality the OR might be the most important member of the project team. His knowledge, experience and expertise can save the owner a lot of time and a lot of money by ensuring that the project will be completed successfully on time and on budget.
