Owner's Advisory Services
Gain trusted advice and proven strategies to maximize value, reduce risks, and prepare your facility for long-term success
Guidance and tools at every stage of the development process
In owner’s advisory services, our team provides the tools and guidance to move your project from planning to the development and construction to project completion.
We align design with real programming needs, guest experience standards, and long-term operations, from surfaces and equipment to supplier selection and pricing. Along the way, we represent your interests through A/E/C and contractor procurement, then stay with you through closeout and commissioning—so your facility opens ready to perform.
What you can do with owner’s advisory services
- Right-size your concept, scope, schedule, and budget with targeted consulting before you commit.
- Align design to real operations through programming-driven support and guidance on equipment and surface specifications.
- Coordinate technical choices by standardizing equipment, surface specs, and vendor information to match the operating model.
- Leverage supplier and partner insights to inform pricing, availability, and integration — without taking on day-to-day procurement admin.
- Reduce delivery risk with best-practice reviews of submittals, change orders, and RFIs to protect schedule and cost.
- Navigate approvals and delivery through entitlement and project delivery consulting that aligns methods with risk, budget, and timeline.
- Strengthen A/E/C procurement with advisement on scope, cost, schedule, contractor selection, and oversight recommendations.
- Maintain fiscal control using assistance with pay applications, schedules of values, and cost reporting.
- Keep FF&E on track through submittal/sample reviews, value engineering, and CO guidance, as well as install scheduling and coordination support.
- Open operationally ready with closeout, commissioning, and turnover advisement aligned to your operating plan.
