Owner's Representative in Wichita

Independent construction owner's representation and project management for Wichita owners and developers. We guide your design and oversee your build from concept through closeout, protecting your budget, schedule, and standards, with no conflict of interest and loyalty only to you.

Independent means no conflict of interest.

A true owner's representative works for you and only you. We provide input and oversight on both the design and the build, but we don't hold the design or construction contract, so nothing pulls our advice in another direction.

That distinction matters in Wichita, because some of the firms offering "owner's representation" are general contractors or engineering firms. When the party representing you also holds the construction contract or the design contract, their interests and yours are not fully aligned. A builder reviewing its own budget, or a designer reviewing its own drawings, cannot be fully independent. We can, because representing the owner is the only thing we do.

What we provide

Full-service owner's representation, from concept on.

Wichita's aviation, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, and commercial development create complex, high-stakes projects, exactly the kind of work an experienced, independent owner's rep protects. As your representative, we evaluate the project concept, help select and manage your design team and contractors, validate budgets and schedules, guide permitting, review pay applications and change orders, and drive the job through closeout. We also provide project management, fractional facilities management, operations consulting, and HR for construction businesses.

FAQ

Owner's representative questions.

What does an owner's representative do in construction?

An owner's representative is an independent advocate who manages a construction project on the owner's behalf. We protect your budget, schedule, quality, and interests from concept through closeout, and coordinate the design team, contractors, and consultants so you don't have to.

What is the difference between an owner's representative and a general contractor?

A general contractor builds the project and holds the construction contract. An owner's representative does not physically build or design the project. We provide input and independent oversight of both the contractor and the design team on the owner's behalf, without holding those contracts. A builder or engineering firm that also acts as your rep carries a built-in conflict of interest, which is why a true owner's rep stays independent of both.

Why should I hire an independent owner's representative?

Independence removes conflict of interest. When the party representing you also holds the construction or design contract, their interests and yours are not fully aligned. An independent owner's rep is paid to protect one outcome: yours.

When should I bring in an owner's representative?

As early as possible, ideally at the concept stage. We can help evaluate whether a project makes sense, select the design team, guide permitting, and review the design before construction begins, which is when the largest cost and schedule decisions are made.

How much does an owner's representative cost?

Owner's representation is typically priced as a percentage of project cost or a negotiated fixed fee, scaled to the size and complexity of the project. Because catching problems early usually saves far more than the fee, it often pays for itself. Contact us for a proposal specific to your project.

Do you serve projects outside Wichita?

Yes. We are based in Wichita and serve owners and developers across Kansas and nationwide, traveling as the project requires.
