CONSTRUCTION OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE
WHAT IS A CONSTRUCTION OWNER’S REPRESENTATIVE?
As the title states, we’re here to be your representative. Think of us as your construction concierge. Having been through hundreds of commercial construction projects from concept to completion, our team has been involved in each part of the design, finance, and construction process.
OWNERS REPRESENTATIVE SERVICES
The primary scope of the construction Owner’s representative is centered around project management, coordination, facilitation, oversight, and monitoring during the design, procurement, and construction phases of your construction project. We are here to provide unbiased, informed advice on a variety of critical matters for everything related to your building.
Working closely with business Owners, we help them clearly understand the site selection, procurement, design, and construction process. It’s more than just selecting a site and construction – other considerations include state and city permitting, zoning, contractor negotiations, architect and engineer agreements, furnishings, finishing touches, and so much more. Like many of our clients, Owners should know that just because construction ends doesn’t mean the project is complete.

How Can an Owner's Representative Help?
Using a construction Owner’s representative helps you avoid so many pitfalls and potential risks. Many businesses may build once or perhaps twice in their lifetime and, as a result, may not realize that before you can even break ground on a new construction project, a great deal of planning and research must be done. Even the process of site selection involves many steps, such as coordination of the municipal entitlement process, negotiation of economic incentives with the local economic development commission, and evaluation of the site for development feasibility to avoid unnecessary expenses, to name a few. When you work with a construction Owner’s representative like Renatus Ventures, you have a designated member of your team to handle the construction process from start to finish, including the research and planning phase.
WHY DO YOU NEED A CONSTRUCTION OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE?
The to-do list at the beginning of a project is daunting. The fact of the matter is unless you are trained in all the steps and processes of a construction job, progress will be slow, and unforeseen or forgotten problems can arise, stopping development in its tracks.
Even if you’re willing to commit to regular communication with the experts working on your construction project, it can be difficult to manage and ensure communication is occurring between the different departments and contractors. A construction Owner’s representative knows the various processes and procedures that make up a construction project, which allows us to act as a translator, coach, and, if need be, a mediator, keeping everyone on the same page and your project on track.
Still uncertain if you truly need an Owner’s representative?
Before you even start your project, you should have the following:
- An expert or experts in planning, design and construction projects with the foresight to handle any problems or challenges as the project progresses
- Time and ability to actively participate in all meetings regarding the many steps of your project
- A staff that communicates with you and outside experts to ensure your building complies with quality and safety standards
- A team with the depth of knowledge of all the steps and procedures that go into construction projects
- If your current or upcoming construction project is missing any of these key assets, you could benefit from a development and construction Owner’s Representative like Renatus Ventures
Owner's representative vs. construction Manager. There's a difference!
When you work directly with a construction manager or general contractor, their scope of responsibilities is limited to planning and overseeing the progress of construction, hiring and supervising subcontractors, and obtaining equipment and materials for building construction. The furniture, fixtures, and equipment are often overlooked as this scope of a project are, more often than not, excluded from the construction manager umbrella. If there is a problem or issue, development halts until you, as the Owner, can address it and provide direction to the contractor. As a project Owner, you may not have the time or experience to properly handle the various issues, which is when a construction Owner’s representative service can help. A highly experienced construction Owner’s representative makes decisions and tackles issues as, or often before, they arise on your behalf, so progress never slows down. You know you have someone acting in your best interests.
