BERT Construction, LLC

Your Agent In the Field!

Construction Owner Representative

BERT Construction provides professional construction management.

As an “Owner’s Representative,” BERT Construction monitors your consultant’s & contractor’s adherence to your project requirements. Our responsibility, as your “eyes & ears” during the construction process, is to bring solid construction management principles to the project to ensure the highest quality project delivered on time & within budget.

What is an Owner’s Rep? An independent party with in-depth construction experience who understands the processes & players of a construction project. This understanding allows the owner’s rep to provide educated recommendations to the owner as the project progresses & will generally save time & money. Understanding & respecting the owner’s objectives, viewing the project from a long-term perspective & smooth project delivery, without surprises, are central to owner representation. Most owners do not have the resources, time or experience necessary to manage a construction project. Contracting an owner’s representative to manage a construction project offers many benefits. An owner’s rep can provide experienced labor, tools and industry knowledge without the expense of managing the project in-house. An owner’s rep represents the owner’s objectives as if they were his own. An owner’s rep allows the owner to continue to do what he does best…manage his own business.
