It’s common knowledge that project managers are essential to an overall complete and successful construction project.
The following is a list of categories that must be addressed for a properly executed construction project.
Quality Assurance Conflict Resolution
Cost Control Regulatory Compliance
Time Management Safety Enforcement
Risk Management Process Monitoring
Communication Efficiency Change Management
Document & Information Management Documentation Integrity
Resource Optimization at Project set-up Project Success Management
Scope Clarity
These are requirements on all commercial projects involving: Class-A office space, Life- Science & Bio-Tech, Large entertainment & shopping complexes, and Mixed-use & Multifamily (condo & apartment complexes). And for today’s modern large and complexed residential projects these guidelines and procedures are being address for a successful and complete construction project as well.
As you can imagine, it takes someone with incredible skills and knowledge to oversee these projects. Large to mid-size commercial and residential Developers, General Contractors, and Project Management Companies have competent Sr. Project Managers, Project Managers, and Associates on staff. These companies as well as business owners, private individuals, and homeowners prefer to hire outside consultants known as Owner’s Representatives to simplify and bring a “Non-Conflicted Approach” for overall guidance of their projects.
All Owner’s Reps. Have a vast knowledge and background in the building and construction industry, which can also include real estate and development experience as well. These individuals have made the decision to take their talents and expertise away from the construction project managing arena to become consultants with a single focus of service to their clients. They provide highly effective advisory and orchestrated guidance on your projects at the conceptional through completion stages and continuous maintenance in the future.
They introduce their clients to highly skilled and professional vendors. Architects, Designers, General and Subcontractors, and Real Estate and Financial professionals to list but a few. For whom they work with, not for, establishing the “non-conflicted approach” for their clients. I hope you found this brief description of what an Owner’s Representative’s role in project management helpful as you plan your next construction project.
