BENEFITS TO YOU

5 benefits of engaging Sharp Group as your Owner's Rep:

To Look Out for the Owner’s Best Interests. An Owner’s representative is the only member of the project team whose one overriding interest is to execute the Owner’s project goals and objectives. The ultimate objective is for the owner’s representative to become an extension of the Owner and the Owner’s staff.
Improved Risk Mitigation and Peace of Mind. There are numerous risks associated with any construction project. For example, budgets can overrun, deadlines missed and regulatory requirements overlooked. A skilled owner's rep can identify where these inherent risks exist and implement a project management plan and help the Owner appropriately manage and mitigate them.
Time and Money Savings. It is the job of an owner’s representative to help deliver a project on time and within the approved budget. Appointing the services of an owner’s representative means that the Owner can continue their day-to-day life without getting diverted by the project and losing focus on their other responsibilities.
Enhanced Communication. An owner’s representative serves as the central point of contact, establishing lines of communication between architects, engineers, contractors, testing agencies, utility providers, municipal authorities, financial institutions, FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment).
Informed Decision Making. As an experienced construction professional, Sharp Group can help explain complex issues, manage conflicts and advise on matters that are outside of the Owner’s sphere of knowledge. We guide the Owner in making informed decisions that keep the project on track.
