As the Owner's representative, dlb acts as the direct agent for the Owner and oversees the entire project from cradle to grave.
Through this outsourcing of project management responsibility, our clients become less consumed in the design and construction process and are therefore free to pursue their business focus.
Delivering a successful project requires knowledge and a range of skills that need to be applied throughout each phase of the project life cycle. By acting as the Owner's representative, dlb is able to offer these skills to educate our clients, enabling them to make informed and timely decisions.
At project inception, dlb collaborates with our clients to clearly identify the project scope and to review the goals of the basis of design. This process ensures that the intent of the project meets our clients' needs.
Through the life of the project, dlb ensures that the intent of the project is followed and that it is constructed to our clients' standards, not those of the design professional or of the contractor.
As an Owner's representative, dlb is able to provide value-added services by:
- Enabling our clients to leverage our technical knowledge and skills prior to making decisions
- Conveying to our client the project status and whether it conforms to the schedule
- Protecting our clients' interests through project design, construction, and closeout
- Reviewing and validating bid submissions, payment requisitions, and change orders
- Validating value engineering and cost-cutting proposals set forth by the contractors
- Identifying construction methods that may compromise the project
- Ensuring compliance with the construction contract
