Introduction

The RCD internal team is comprised of specialists in legal, finance, and business management; but more importantly, the team boasts a diverse background in project experience.  As an Owner’s Representative, RCD offers access to its in-house construction team who works alongside RCD’s development team and oversees pre-project development and project construction.  RCD’s team has over 25 years of experience in land development across the United States, including due diligence, owners’ representation, civil site design, surveying, geotechnical and environmental investigations.  As Owner’s Representative, RCD provides its development expertise and critical construction management oversight through delivery and project close-out, with an eye toward creating efficiencies and problem solving.  RCD’s services go beyond construction management, which primarily involves the construction phase and a dual role as general contractor. As Owner’s Representative, RCD ensures that the owner’s goals for the project are put first and foremost.

Phases

Project Conception/Initiation

The earlier the owners representative is brought on the better it is for the project.  In this stage, the foundation of the project is designed and direction is implemented.  It all starts with an idea, location and capital. (the what, where, and how).  After the idea or need is agreed upon, the client needs to understand the profile they are willing to take, and what hurdles will be directly in front of them if the project is to continue.  Once comfortable with the potential variables and idea, it is time to put the team together.

Design

The best time to hire an owner’s representative is before the design phase even begins. Acting as the owner’s advocate during the planning and design stages of the process, they can oversee and review designs to ensure the owner’s needs are being met. They can also ensure that applicable codes and regulations are being followed and considered from the very beginning of a project.

3

Construction

An owner’s representative is also involved throughout the entire construction phase of the project. They may even manage contractor procurement and pre-qualification. They closely observe construction through all stages to make sure everything is being completed on time and according to the designs.  This means they are frequently onsite and in constant communication with all project stakeholders, such as the construction manager, contractors and commissioning agents. They can also perform construction risk assessments to proactively identify potential problems before they arise.

4

Completion

This covers the completion of the construction; including all punch list items and preparation for finalization of contractual items.  Once construction is complete, the owner’s representative can oversee the building occupancy process. This includes managing and coordinating tenants moving into the facility and the installation of furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E).

5

Close-out

Confirmation the project is closed out properly. They verify that all contractual obligations have been met, and create a punch list: a summary of all tasks that were not completed during the project.
