Independent project advocacy

Owner's representation that keeps your priorities in control.

AGM serves as the owner's accountable point of coordination across planning, design, procurement, construction, turnover, and operational readiness.

An owner's representative works directly for the owner, not the designer or contractor. AGM helps establish the project mission, organize responsibilities, evaluate recommendations, document decisions, and keep scope, cost, schedule, quality, and risk visible.

This independent position is especially valuable for nonprofit, healthcare, community-facility, commercial, and public-sector owners whose internal teams have demanding operational responsibilities in addition to the project.

Frequently asked questions

Is an owner's representative the same as the general contractor?

No. The contractor is responsible for constructing the project. The owner's representative works for the owner and independently coordinates information, decisions, risks, and performance across the broader project team.

When should the owner's representative become involved?

Early involvement usually creates the most value because project requirements, budgets, procurement strategies, and responsibilities can be clarified before design and construction decisions become expensive to change.

Can AGM support only part of a project?

Yes. Engagements can cover the complete project lifecycle or a defined need such as preconstruction, reporting, procurement, risk review, recovery, or closeout.
