Construction management & owner representation

Your interests — consistently represented

Execution is where it is decided whether cost, schedule, and quality deliver what the design promised. As owner representatives we safeguard your interests on a fiduciary basis, steer the interface to the general contractor, and accompany execution through to defect-free handover.

Owner representation

We act on behalf of and in the interest of the owner — as an extended arm towards the general contractor, designers, and authorities:

  • Safeguarding the owner's interests across the entire project
  • Central interface and point of contact for the general contractor
  • Preparing owner decisions, escalation management
  • Accompanying acceptances and handover

Construction management during execution

  • Steering and supervision of the construction sequence at the interfaces
  • Coordination between the general contractor, designers, and specialist advisers
  • Tracking of cost, schedule, and quality on site (in conjunction with project controlling)
  • Defect management through to acceptance and remediation

Interface to the general contractor

The general contractor (GC) holds the works contracts and performs the construction works. We, by contrast, represent the building owner: we review work progress, steer communication, and ensure that the contractually agreed qualities, costs, and deadlines are met. Note: owner representation comprises the fiduciary safeguarding of interests in technical-construction and organisational respects. We do not provide case-by-case legal advice.
