No matter the size or scope of the buildout, construction projects inherently involve risk. These risks can impact timelines, budgets and your overall project’s success. Owner’s representatives play a crucial role in identifying, evaluating and mitigating these risks. So just how do they do it? Read on below to learn more.

Ways Owner’s Reps Keep Risks at Bay

The cost of not having an owner’s rep for your Florida buildout is high. Here are some key ways owner’s representatives proactively manage your construction project to minimize the likelihood of things going wrong.

• Navigate compliance concerns: Navigating the complex landscape of regulations, permits and codes in Miami is a significant challenge. When you partner with a local owner’s representative, you can feel confident your project will comply with all necessary regulations and that you’ll secure permits and approvals on time. These proactive efforts minimize the risk of legal issues or costly delays due to permit violations.

• Do due diligence during pre-construction: A lot of errors occur because stakeholders rush the project and don’t consider the full scope of the project from the very beginning – including all the things that could go wrong. An owner’s rep will manage risks from day 1 by identifying potential vulnerabilities in the project and by conducting a risk assessment and constructability report during pre-construction.

• Resolve disputes: Disputes between stakeholders can halt construction progress and result in hefty fees if they require legal intervention. Owner’s representatives act as impartial mediators and continuously facilitate communication to prevent and quickly resolve conflicts if they occur.

 In addition to these examples, there are countless ways an owner’s representative can manage risky situations for your Florida buildout. From keeping the project running on time and on budget to ensuring a high-quality product, owner’s reps engage in many behind-the-scenes efforts that often go unnoticed – and that’s the goal. No news is good news when it comes to construction complications. An owner’s rep works to keep those issues as close to none as possible.
