Local Government Consulting

With an Owner’s Representative, your administration will have a trusted advisor to assist in all aspects of relating to acquiring and managing contractors. While traditionally valued on Construction projects, an owners representative can also offer considerable value to local government for large scale services that are not being self performed.

Representing Interests of the Municipality

There are many quality contractors and service providers that may enhance local government capabilities and bring to life the vision of a municipality. These potential partners usually have the necessary technical expertise that doesn’t exist on the administrative staff. They will have their own interests to look after, however, and have experience dealing with various entities for these types of contracts. An owners representative is a partner to help acquire the necessary expertise while protecting the interest of your municipality.
