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