Commercial construction projects are full of complexities. Rarely does a buildout go exactly as planned, and even when it does there are numerous moving parts, intricate coordination and potential risks that hang in the balance. These all can impact the project’s success.

To help owners successfully navigate the complexities of commercial construction from design to completion, many project owners in Florida find it prudent to hire an owner’s representative.

How Owner’s Reps Streamline the Construction Process

The sheer number of decisions owners must make in a buildout is too many to count. Handing over the reins to an owner’s rep who can make these decisions on your behalf relieves this burden and can speed up construction. Here are some other ways owner’s reps work to expertly navigate commercial buildouts.

• They determine project feasibility – Good ideas are not always grounded in reality. That’s why a good owner’s rep will insist on a constructability report prior to beginning a project. Constructability reviews are essential tools to help project owners understand the build feasibility of their design as well as seek ways to improve it. Ultimately, this process can save your project time and money by reducing costly errors and omissions in the design plans. Disaster averted!

• They navigate compliance concerns – The permitting process in Miami is perilous. You absolutely want an insider to handle this job for you.

• They mitigate risk – The earlier project risks can be identified, the better. Hence, the constructability report. It’s also why you need to hire an owner’s rep. Their experience and industry expertise make them assets to any project team.

• They negotiate contracts – Selecting the right vendors and negotiating contracts are critical steps in complex commercial construction. Owner’s reps leverage their industry knowledge to identify and vet qualified contractors, architects and subcontractors. Moreover, they facilitate the contract negotiation process on your behalf.

These are just a few of the many ways owner’s representation benefits commercial construction buildouts. If you’re looking to hire an owner’s rep for your Miami project, contact us today at Seacoast Construction.
