Due to the technical complexity and economic risk associated with modern development and
construction projects, property owners are requiring the assistance of highly skilled third-party owner’s representatives to ensure a successful project outcome.
The owner's rep is responsible for managing and overseeing the project from inception to completion, ensuring that it is completed on time, within budget, and to the owner's satisfaction.
The owner's rep works closely with all parties involved in the project, including architects, engineers, contractors, and vendors, to ensure that the project meets the owner's requirements and is completed according to the agreed-upon plans and specifications.
Engaging an owner's representative is particularly important if the owner does not have the internal expertise or bandwidth to manage the project and perform the necessary review and oversight. Overall, an owner's representative in real estate can provide a range of valuable services to clients, helping them to achieve their goals in a timely and cost-effective manner, while managing risk and ensuring that all parties involved in the project are working together effectively.
Stone and Stryder is that critical eye, ensuring the success of a project, by providing expertise and guidance to the owner throughout the entire process. Our role will vary based on the scope of the project and per the owner’s requirements and needs.
