Embarking on a residential construction project, whether it’s building a new luxury home or renovating an existing one, is a significant undertaking for homeowners. While the idea of overseeing the project yourself may sound tempting, the complexities and potential challenges in the construction process can be overwhelming. This is where hiring an owner’s representative can be particularly helpful.

Guiding You Through Your Luxury Real Estate Buildout

 Owner’s representatives are advocates. They essentially assume your role in the project and are committed to making decisions that reflect your visions and objectives for the home. Not only that, but they also have the industry expertise to ensure the build meets all regulatory standards, passes permitting inspections, and is devoid of as many risks as possible.

Additionally, owner’s reps have a keen ability to see into the future and identify potential issues like cost overruns on a larger-than-planned design. Here’s an example of owner’s representation in action:

Say you have a design you are thrilled with, but scope creep is making its presence known before the project is even off the ground. Do nothing and the price will skyrocket to three times what was anticipated. In a situation like this, an owner’s rep like us might come in to suggest cost-wise alternatives while still staying true to the original design.

Perhaps the cabinetry in a design looks great, but there’s not enough money in the budget for all the cabinets. If your heart is set on cabinets, the owner’s rep might suggest saving money elsewhere by eliminating custom closets from the plans and then using that saved money for your dream cabinets. Then, down the road, you can add those custom closets back in if still desired. We suggested this for a recent client and saved them $250k that they could then redirect towards cabinetry.
