Owner’s Representative Services – FAQs

What does an Owner’s Representative do?
An Owner’s Representative manages the project on behalf of the Owner, providing independent oversight, contract management, cost control, and risk mitigation to protect the Owner’s interests.

How is an Owner’s Representative different from a Project Manager?
A Project Manager manages project execution. An Owner’s Representative oversees the entire team and ensures alignment with the Owner’s financial and strategic objectives.

When should an Owner engage an Owner’s Representative?
Ideally during early planning and procurement to establish governance and avoid downstream cost or schedule risk.

Can you support public-sector capital programs?
Yes. We have experience supporting complex public infrastructure, healthcare P3, and transit programs.

Do you replace the contractor?
No. We serve as an independent oversight partner and do not perform construction services.
