The Value of an Owner’s Representative

On-Site Risk Mitigation & Management

An Owner’s Representative is a crucial partner for any renewable energy project owner, offering a range of essential services before and throughout construction to ensure a smooth process and the successful achievement of complex goals. While part of the project construction team, the Owner’s Representative operates under a separate contract directly with the owner.

At PEC Construction Management, our role as an Owner’s Representative is to advocate for the owner during all phases of the project, including planning, construction, commissioning, and closeout. We report solely to the owner, always prioritizing their best interests. Our expertise spans the construction phases of large solar, wind, energy storage, and transmission projects, allowing us to provide unbiased advice that mitigates risks well beyond the commercial operation milestone.

Why You Need an Owner’s Representative

If you have a qualified team set to advance construction, you might wonder about the necessity of a separate Owner’s Representative. The key difference is that we work exclusively for you, the project owner, rather than the contracted construction company. This ensures that all our efforts serve your interests, providing impartial guidance without conflicting loyalties. We help navigate potential issues and proactively prevent problems from arising.

Effective communication, accountability, and teamwork are critical throughout construction. As an independent Owner’s Representative, we enhance relationships that may be beyond your reach, collaborating with contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, landowners, and regulatory authorities.

Large-scale construction projects come with numerous risks that can disrupt schedules and inflate budgets. Engaging an experienced Owner’s Representative like PEC Construction Management will significantly reduce these risks.

Our Services

We offer a comprehensive suite of services tailored to our clients’ needs at every stage of the construction lifecycle, including Pre-Construction, Construction, Project Close Out, and Commissioning. Our primary goal is to reduce costs, maximize value, ensure quality and safety, and keep the project on schedule and within budget, ultimately meeting the targeted commercial operation date.

Owner’s Representative Services Include:

  • Budget and Schedule Development/Management: We assist in developing project budgets to maximize value while avoiding unnecessary costs. Our proactive schedule management aims to prevent delays and ensure timely project completion.
  • Design Oversight and Review: Engaging us before the design phase allows us to advocate for the owner, ensuring that designs meet your needs and adhere to applicable codes and regulations.
  • Construction Coordination and Monitoring: We oversee the entire construction process, potentially managing contractor procurement and pre-qualification. Our constant monitoring ensures that all work aligns with the designs and meets quality standards.
  • Move Management: After construction, we oversee site cleanup as the facility transitions to commercial operation.
  • Punch List and Closeout Management: We ensure proper project closure by verifying that all contractual obligations are met and compiling a punch list of any incomplete tasks.

Contracting PEC Construction Management as your on-site Owner’s Representative ensures your project will be delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of safety and quality.

Maximizing Relationships that may be Outside of Our Client’s Reach.

During all phases of construction, communication, accountability and team-work is key. As a third-party Owner’s Representative, we’re able to effectively maximize relationships on a level that may be outside of our Client's reach. Including those with contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, landowners, communities and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ).
