How We Help

As an owner's representative, we become an extension of your team during construction projects. Our collective expertise in areas of construction finance, contracts, construction methods, real estate development, and operations help to fill in the gaps for the owner's team. This allows us to have an incredible impact on the project. In the end, we turn good projects into great projects.

Benefits of an

Owner's Representative

Your Ally

What you see in a project isn't the full story. Our experience ensures that your interests are protected, and that no detail is overlooked.

Expertise

Our background in construction, finance, contracts, communication, real estate, and facility operations allows us to make informed decisions that maximize the project Journey and financial Results.

Transparency

The detailed tracking and auditing of a major construction project is often missing. Our systems will provide complete transparency.

Simply Put

Our goal on every project is to be told that “selecting Building Solutions was the best project decision because every decision made after that was better and easier”.

Tailored Services to Maximize Project Value

Our approach is designed to provide clients with maximum value by offering two core services that are tailored to meet specific project needs: Request for Proposal (RFP) Services and Owner’s Representative Services.

Request for Proposal (RFP) Services

Our RFP services for construction and architectural projects deliver a high return on a low-cost investment. It’s an essential first step for organizations in their facility planning efforts. We guide clients through a transparent and defensible selection process for architects and construction managers, ensuring all project phases are considered from design to completion.

Key Benefits of Our RFP Service

Comprehensive Selection: We help you select an architect and/or construction manager based on clear criteria for project success.
Transparency: The selection process is transparent and defensible to stakeholders, especially for publicly funded projects such as school districts and municipalities.
Holistic Approach: Our RFP process ensures that all phases of a project are considered, minimizing unforeseen costs and maximizing project potential.
