Construction Management Services
and Owner's Representation
As Owner's Representatives, BTG will become
involved at the pre-development phase and act in the owner's
interest throughout the entire development process.
BTG's
management style allows the owner to achieve their business,
financial
& creative objectives, and also participate in the
decision making process. The role of
BTG will be
to advise on, execute and manage all aspects of the project in
accordance with the owner's objectives. What is an
Owner’s Representative?
Who represents the owner…the lawyer prepares the contracts…the
architect prepares the plans…the contractor builds the building?
An Owner’s Representative works closely with the owner in three
main areas -- Quality, Costs and Time. An
Owner’s Rep oversees the architect to make sure the project is
not over designed and the design meets the owner’s objectives.
An Owner’s Rep works with the contractor to make sure the
project has the right team, to make sure that their pricing is
complete and their schedules are realistic. An Owner’s Rep's
objectives are a direct reflection of the owner’s objectives.
The owner will not have to deal with conflicts that arise during
a project, allowing more time to focus on their interests,
making the experience enjoyable.
When is an
Owner’s Representative needed?
