Contracted as the owner’s agent we use our intimate knowledge of your design and working drawings with decades of jobsite and construction experience to assist contractors and prevent or solve problems arising at key phases during construction, resolve conflicts with engineering, and make strategic and opportune field changes either saving money, enhancing the building design or both.

Unfortunately, many general contractors convince owners this service is unnecessary. They couldn’t be more wrong. Most builders do not maintain any continuing education program or expanding knowledge base and advancement in new cost effective construction technologies unless it is brought to them by their client and only then reluctantly are forced to employ. Time and time again additional professional assistance and observation during key phases by others simply make their job easier, the project flow smoother, maintain project schedules and budgets, and keep the owner apprised of the construction progress and informed about the methods and materials their builder utilized in their construction.

Too many times the owners and builders end the construction process never to speak again, work out agreeable legitimate punch lists, or worse end up in lawsuits over preventable circumstances.
 
If it is important for you to have your construction run smoothly having our “team approach” working together preventing and solving problems along the way, it’s important to keep your design professional involved along the way and utilize their services.
