Project & Construction Management
Owner's representative work for high-end residential and commercial builds. The principal who reads your contracts is the principal who walks the site.
Project & Construction Management is owner's representative work for residential and commercial construction. Sirrona acts on behalf of the property owner, coordinating contractors, vendors, hardware sourcing, and project timelines so the owner does not have to manage the build directly.
A second set of eyes on every dollar.
Most property owners managing a renovation, custom build, or commercial project are doing it for the first time. The general contractor knows the territory. The architect has their own priorities. The vendors have their own quotas. Sirrona sits on the owner's side of the table.
The work covers contract review, scope verification, change-order analysis, vendor selection, hardware sourcing, and timeline accountability. Engagements run alongside an existing GC, never in conflict with one. The goal is a finished project that matches the design intent and the budget that was approved.
Engagement deliverables.
Owner's Representation
Direct advocacy on the owner's behalf in meetings with general contractors, architects, designers, and trades.
Contract & Scope Review
Line-by-line review of construction contracts, change orders, and allowances before signing. Plain-language translation included.
Vendor & Hardware Sourcing
Curated sourcing of fixtures, finishes, lighting, and specialty hardware. Trade pricing where available.
Timeline & Milestone Tracking
Documented build schedule with weekly status, defined milestones, and early flagging of slippage before it costs money.
Site Walks & Punch Lists
On-site walks at key milestones with documented punch lists tied to the original specification.
Closeout & Documentation
Final sign-off process, warranty documentation, manuals, and a complete build dossier delivered at handover.
Scoped to the project, not the calendar.
Project & Construction Management engagements are scoped to a specific build. Pricing is project-based, with milestone-tied billing aligned to the construction schedule. Stewardship retainers are available for owners managing multiple properties.
The practice does not replace your general contractor. It works alongside the GC, the architect, and the trades. The goal is the owner's interests represented at every turn, including the difficult conversations.
The full scope of an engagement.
Owner's representative work
Acting as your eyes and voice on the project when you cannot be on site. Coordinating with the general contractor, designers, and trades on your behalf.
Pre-construction planning
Reviewing plans and specifications, identifying potential issues before construction begins, and coordinating with the design team on resolution.
Vendor and trade coordination
Managing relationships across the supply chain. Ensuring materials arrive on time, tradespeople are scheduled correctly, and the project flows smoothly.
Hardware and finish sourcing
Specifying and procuring fixtures, hardware, finishes, and specialty items. Coordinating delivery and storage.
Quality control walkthroughs
Regular site visits documenting progress and identifying issues while they are still cheap to fix. Written punch lists with photographs.
Schedule and budget oversight
Tracking actual progress against the construction schedule and actual spend against the budget. Early warning when something is drifting.
Final commissioning and handoff
Walkthrough at substantial completion, punch list management, warranty documentation, and turnover of operations manuals.
How an engagement runs.
-
01
Engagement scoping (week 1)
Understanding the project, your team, and where you need representation. Reviewing existing documentation and contracts.
-
02
Pre-construction (variable)
Plan review, value engineering input, contractor selection support, and contract review. The work that prevents problems later.
-
03
Construction phase (project duration)
Regular site visits, weekly progress reports with photographs, coordination meetings, and ongoing trade management.
-
04
Substantial completion
Detailed walkthrough, punch list creation, contractor coordination on completion items.
-
05
Closeout (weeks following completion)
Final inspections, warranty documentation collection, operations manual organization, and project archive.
Questions before we begin.
Do you replace a general contractor?
No. The general contractor builds. Project Construction Management represents your interests in coordinating with the contractor. Some projects need both. Some only need the GC. The scoping conversation determines which.
What kinds of projects do you take on?
Custom residential builds and major renovations, primarily in the high-end market where the owner is not on site full-time and the project complexity exceeds what a typical homeowner can manage independently. Some commercial work for repeat clients.
How is this priced?
Either as a percentage of construction value (typically 5 to 8%) or as a fixed monthly retainer for the project duration. The pricing model depends on project size and complexity.
Do you have construction or architecture credentials?
Background includes residential construction operations, owner-rep work on multi-million-dollar custom homes, and direct relationships with trades. We are not a licensed general contractor, which is precisely the point. We represent the owner, not the build.
Can you start mid-project?
Yes. Some projects bring us in when relationships have broken down or when scope creep has gotten out of hand. The first step in those cases is a project audit to understand current state before recommending forward path.
Do you work with architects we already have?
Of course. We coordinate with whatever team you already have in place. We are an addition to the project team, not a replacement for the architect or contractor.
What does the weekly report include?
Photographs of progress, percent-complete by trade, schedule status against baseline, budget status against baseline, issues identified and their resolution path, and the upcoming week's planned activity.
A senior set of eyes on your build.
Owner's representative work is best scoped against a specific project. Bring the address, the GC, the architect if you have one, and the timeline. The engagement will be defined before the first site walk.
