As Owner's Representative, we provide comprehensive management and coordination of all project activities. Our primary job as Owner's Representative is to ensure that each member of the Owner's team of specialists discharges its responsibilities in a manner that serves the Owner's overall interest. Acting as an extension of the Owner's staff, we monitor and coordinate the efforts of all members of the Project Team in order to enable the Owner to achieve maximum value for each dollar expended.
Design and Construction Projects typically require the services of a team of professional consultants and the work of construction contractors and other vendors. Each member of the project team has responsibility only for its particular expertise. No architect, consultant, contractor or vendor shares the Owner's comprehensive scope of interest, with the exception of the Owner's Representative. This is the role provided by Becker & Frondorf.
We apply our leadership skills to plan and direct the project team towards success. Our proactive approach encourages designers, contractors and vendors to work together to achieve the Owner's quality, cost and schedule objectives. By building positive working relationships among the project team members, we facilitate timely resolution of the problems and conflicts that are intrinsic to the design and construction process.
Our documentation system creates a thorough and complete project record. Starting with an initial project plan that articulates the project scope, schedule and budget parameters, we create a series of clear and concise reports that monitor and track all project activities. We use these documents as management tools for the project team, as a means to communicate project progress and as components of the permanent project record.
We apply our experience with technical, business and legal issues to minimize our clients' risk. Design and construction projects entail lengthy, complex financial and legal transactions in which claims and disputes often arise. We deal with such issues every day, and we utilize this experience to minimize the Owner's risk by establishing appropriate business and legal relationships among the project team.
We adapt the type and level of our services to fit the unique needs and requirements of each client. Our Owner's Representative assignments range from comprehensive management services throughout all project phases to specific tasks of short duration.
