The Owner’s Rep focuses on ensuring that the project aligns with the owner's vision, goals, and budget. They handle high-level oversight, make key decisions on behalf of the owner, and ensure clear communication between the owner and all project stakeholders. The Owner's Rep is involved from the planning stages through to project completion, making sure the owner’s expectations are met or exceeded.
