Choose the right perspective

Match the consultant's focus to your stage, since an owner's representative suits planning and managing a live project while a claims or dispute consultant suits a delay, defect or cost dispute. Ask about past projects of a similar type and size, and whether they have worked for owners, contractors or both.

Questions to take into the conversation

  1. 01How do you structure an owner's representative role so it adds control without duplicating the architect's and contractor's work?
  2. 02What early warning signs tell you a construction project is heading toward a schedule or cost overrun?
  3. 03How do you document delays and change orders so a claim can be resolved without arbitration or litigation?
