What is the purpose of the Owner's Representative during the construction phase?

The primary purpose of the Owner's Representative during the construction phase is to ensure compliance with the design as specified in the project documents. This involves overseeing the contractor's work to confirm that it aligns with the architectural and engineering plans, as well as any relevant codes or regulations. The Owner's Representative acts as a liaison between the owner and the construction team, providing quality control and safeguarding the owner's interests. They monitor the project’s progress, manage any issues that arise, and help to facilitate communication, ensuring that the final outcome meets the owner's expectations and standards as set forth during the design phase. This role is critical in maintaining the integrity of the project and ensuring that the construction adheres to the intended vision and specifications.
