1. What is an Owner’s Representative and why is it important in South Florida?
An Owner’s Representative (OR) acts as the owner’s advocate—protecting your interests from start to finish. In Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach, where projects can be complex and heavily regulated, an OR ensures your vision is achieved on time, on budget, and in compliance with local requirements.
2. How does an Owner’s Representative differ from a Project Manager or General Contractor?
Unlike a general contractor or project manager, an Owner’s Representative does not build or design. Instead, they represent only you, the owner—coordinating architects, engineers, and contractors to ensure quality, control costs, and keep schedules on track.
3. Can hiring an Owner’s Representative save money on my South Florida project?
Yes. By negotiating contracts, reducing costly change orders, and anticipating potential issues, an Owner’s Rep often saves owners significant money. Their oversight reduces risk and gives condo boards, HOAs, and property managers peace of mind that every dollar is well spent.
