For Building Owners:
Building a new or updating a building is a significant investment for any business or organization. Hiring an Owner's Representative as your advocate can greatly improve your building experience:

1. Communication: You have a team of experts with your design architect, contractor, legal and accounting team, but who sees the big picture? Having an Owner's Representative facilitates often complex communications among team members to keep the project on track, preventing delays and unnecessary expenses.

2. Time: As the Owner, you already have a job to do without adding a large capital project to your list of tasks. An Owner's Representative can do the heavy lifting related to project management that will allow you to be engaged and informed without being overwhelmed.

3. Budget, Schedule, & Quality: We all know time is money. Typically, it's in everyone's best interest to complete a project as soon as practical, but that is often at the expense of budget and quality. An Owner's Representative can help navigate the treacheries of rushed design and construction, guiding you toward a solution that balances accuracy, timeliness, and quality.
