Your side of the table, every meeting.

Owner’s representation and PMO support with a project controls core. We manage contractors and consultants on your behalf, review every schedule and pay application, and make sure your decisions land in time.

Outnumbered on your own project.

01

They know the schedule better

The contractor’s scheduler built it. Your team reviews it once a month with no time to dig in.

02

Pay approved on trust

Billed progress runs ahead of field progress, and retention is the only cushion left.

03

Owner work on nobody’s schedule

Furniture, IT, equipment, permits and utility service sit outside every contract, and still set the opening date.

When to call us.

Big project, small team

Your staff run facilities or operations, not construction.

02

A program is starting

Several projects at once need common controls and common reporting.

03

The relationship is strained

An independent, schedule-based voice lowers the temperature in the room.

04

Activation is close

Owner work is now on the critical path to opening day.

Straight answers to fair questions.

Do you replace our project manager?

No. We work for and with your project manager, adding the controls depth and hours one person cannot cover.

Full time or part time?

Either. Some projects need someone on site. Others need a few days each month around updates and pay applications.

Can you manage several projects at once?

Yes. A PMO with common standards is often the most efficient way to run a program.

Is there a better rate for similar projects?

Yes. Repeat or similar projects qualify for a Program Rate because the procedures and templates already exist.
