Owner’s Advisor & Construction Management
Maintaining project quality and integrity throughout the project life cycle
An owner’s advisor (OA) is a third-party firm responsible for providing support to the owner during design and construction. An OA is particularly helpful during alternative and collaborative delivery projects. Garver’s OA services, when brought on early in the project, can flesh out project details while maintaining project integrity. And because cost effectiveness is an integral part of any project, Garver’s OA services can help review deliverables and keep projects on course by identifying potential impacts and mitigating their effect.
Garver’s construction services range from periodic observation to full-time resident observation to assist with schedule maintenance, pay app and payroll review, promoting job site safety, and monitoring the construction quality through the final product to match the plans and specifications. Garver actively anticipates issues before they become problems, reviews plans and construction methods in advance of each phase, and maintains clear lines of communication with all project stakeholders.
