Owner’s Representative :: Shane & Associates, LLC

As your Owner’s Representative, Shane and Associates ensures that your best interests are at the heart of every decision. We represent your interests and act as the liaison between you, the design team where applicable, and the contractor. Individual project team members are only responsible for their area of expertise. None of the team members, from the consultant to the contractor to the vendors, share the same global scope of concern as the Owner, with the exception of their appointed Representative.

A design professional’s responsibility is not the same as an Owner’s Representative and some professional organizations do not recommend that they “wear both hats”. Your commercial or residential property manager may not have the time or experience to act as an OR on a construction project. The experience, guidance and loyalty of an experienced construction professional representing you throughout your project will always justify the associated fee. Don’t be short-sighted in that regard.
