What Is Construction Owner’s Representation?
Owner’s Representation is somewhat new in Canada, so many people are unaware that the service exists. An Owner’s Representative operates as the eyes and ears of the owner on construction projects, ensuring that things run smoothly while adhering to timeline and budgetary constraints.
The Owner’s Representative reports directly to the project’s owner, and always acts in the owner’s interest. With experience in all areas of design and construction, they offer valuable and impartial advice.

What does An Owner’s Representative Do?
An Owner’s Representative is a valuable resource for a construction project owner. They provide a range of essential services at all stages of a project to ensure that the various complex objectives are achieved. An Owner’s Representative works as part of the project team, but works under a separate contract with the owner. Their role is to act on behalf of the owner to oversee the entire project. This may include planning, design, construction, and commissioning as well as closure phases.
What Parts Of The Process Is An Owner’s Representative Involved In?
Ideally, an Owner’s Representative should be involved early in the process. They can work with the owner to identify project budget and goals, realistic planning based on project goals, and a clear understanding of what success looks like. Once these critical pieces are in place, the representative can help identify and assemble and ideal team of design and construction specialists to achieve the client’s goals.
From then on, it’s all about management, communication and coordination. The Owner’s Representative will see the construction project through to completion of an agreed-upon stage depending on the needs and preferences of both the Owner and the Representative.
