Owner's Engineer Services

Every project is critical to your business. When adding new projects to your portfolio, selecting an experienced owner’s engineer provides you with a partner who works alongside you as an extension of your staff.

Developing a new project requires a great deal of coordination and planning, the most important of which may be building a trustworthy relationship with the designers and project managers involved. As market trends demand more project delivery options, owners will potentially seek advice and representation throughout their procurement, design and construction processes.

With everything that happens throughout a project, it can be hard for your staff to know if the results you’re getting are in keeping with the terms of your contract. The use of an owner’s engineer allows you to gain the experience of a team of project managers and engineers who work alongside you as a direct extension of your staff. Contracting with an owner’s engineer provides you with a team who works on your behalf, reviewing the overall project progress, processes and scheduling from start to finish.
