What does an Owner’s Representative Do?

An Owner’s Representative serves as a critical ally in the project development process, handling a wide array of responsibilities to ensure your project is completed on time, within budget, and in line with your expectations. Here’s a breakdown of the specific services IMP Building Group provides as part of our Owner’s Representation:

Project Planning and Feasibility

Before any physical work begins, we assist in the initial planning stages of the project. This includes performing feasibility studies, identifying project goals, establishing budgets, and preparing initial project schedules. We take the time to thoroughly assess the project’s scope and ensure that your expectations are aligned with what is realistically achievable. By conducting thorough market research, feasibility studies on the property, and risk assessments, we identify any potential challenges and opportunities, providing you with a clear understanding of what to expect before moving forward.

Procurement and Contract Negotiations

Once planning is complete, we take on the responsibility of managing the procurement process. This involves identifying and selecting the right contractors, subcontractors, and vendors for your project. IMP Building Group leads the effort to create comprehensive bid documents, evaluate proposals, and recommend the best contractors for the job based on quality, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

We also represent you during contract negotiations, ensuring that all contracts are fair, clear, and favourable to your interests. As experienced negotiators, we ensure that your contracts outline all necessary terms, timelines, and deliverables, preventing any ambiguities or misunderstandings that could cause problems down the road.
