Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Owner Rep and why do we need one?
An Owner Representative is someone who provides expert project consultation with the owner’s best interest in mind. Projects which utilize the services of a seasoned Owner Rep will have substantially greater chances of on-time and in-budget delivery, as a highly qualified Owner Rep firm should possess the knowledge and experience necessary to mitigate time and cost overruns and potentially save multiples of their fee along the way.
What should we look for in an Owner Rep?
When selecting an Owner Rep for your project, identifying a firm with the knowledge, experience, and expertise in projects of similar scope, size and complexity is a good start. The firm should also possess a reputation for thinking critically and solving problems… not just “managing” projects.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO HIRE AN OWNER REP?
While a qualified Owner Rep should possess the ability to step into a project at any given point within the project’s timeline, it is ideal if they are engaged at conception. The earlier an Owner Rep is engaged, the greater impact they will have on the overall project and its success. Engaging an Owner Rep at the onset will enable them to provide you with expert consultation through the complicated process of planning and preconstruction, which is the most important part of the project’s trajectory and should yield the greatest results during construction as a result.
Why can’t our Property Manager manage the project?
Property Managers have their hands full managing the community from a day-to-day operational perspective. Attempting to manage a large capital improvement project will negatively impact their ability to perform their Property Management roles and responsibilities. Additionally, taking on a major project will only set them, and the project, up for failure by attempting to manage something outside their area of expertise.
Why can’t our Engineer manage the project?
Engineers are licensed design professionals who carry the burden and responsibility of performing tasks that effect the safety and well-being of the community and public. Engaging in the management of a project from an owner’s perspective requires a completely different set of services which can negatively impact their ability to perform their responsibilities as an Engineer as it deviates from their area of expertise.
