RAI’s Owner Representative service allows RAI staff to serve as an extension of the project owner. Most project owners, through no fault of their own, do not have the construction management experience or required resources to properly guide their project to completion. By providing the leadership, guidance, and expertise needed throughout the duration of the project, the RAI team protects the Owner’s interest from project inception to project closeout.
RAI provides project preconstruction planning, on-site representation, and essential oversight to ensure that construction progresses in accordance to contract drawings and specification, on time, and within budget – allowing project owners to focus on their principal business interests without the distraction of constant construction issues. As the Owner’s Representative, RAI serves as the principal point of contact for designers and contractors. Each of our project teams are tailored to meet the specific needs of each client and project. This involvement leads to:
- Development of Overall Project Strategy and Management Procedures
- Definition of Team Member Responsibilities and Reporting Systems
- Budget Management and Control
- Value Engineering & Constructability
- Scope Control and Contingency Planning
- Scheduling & Phasing Strategies
- Coordination with all Local Authorities and Regulatory Agencies
- Establishing Critical Long-Lead Material/Purchasing Criteria
- Construction Staging & Decanting Strategy
- Issue Resolution
RAI provides its clients with the knowledge and experience to keep you abreast of events, enabling the owner to make informed and timely decisions. Doing business with RAI translates to hands-on involvement from day one and the total coordination and integration of the functional aspects of the project. From the early planning phases of a project to project closeout, the RAI team aims to find and implement solutions for successful project delivery. RAI staff’s diverse education and training contributes toward making RAI a unique entity in the industry. This diversity enables our staff to facilitate and provide:
- Dedicated Involvement of Top Management
- A Solid Background in Construction, Engineering & Estimating
- Innovative Scheduling Applications
- Extensive Experience in Change Order Review Programs
