Service 06

Is construction on schedule, on budget, and to spec?

Construction supervision is the daily-presence service. Someone the owner trusts is on the property, in the meetings, in the drawings, and in the numbers — every week, every draw, every change order, until handover.

What we do

The owner's daily presence, in the field.

A contract enforces what was agreed. A principal enforces what is actually happening, in the field, on Tuesday morning.

This service is the owner's daily presence. We attend OAC meetings, walk the site, review pay applications and lien waivers, hold the contractor to scope, and report up to the owner in language they can act on.

What this looks like in practice

  • Daily or scheduled site presence depending on phase, with field notes filed against the schedule and the drawings.
  • OAC (owner-architect-contractor) meeting chair or co-chair, with written follow-ups that move decisions.
  • Change-order discipline — every change is priced against scope, schedule, and necessity before the owner authorizes anything.
  • Draw and pay-application verification against work in place, lien-waiver collection, and stored-materials accounting.
  • Submittal and RFI tracking so the contractor is not paid for the wait time their own coordination caused.
  • Weekly owner reports — what happened, what is at risk, what needs an owner decision this week.

When this service is the right entry point

  • You have a contractor under contract and need on-the-ground senior representation, not a part-time inspector.
  • You are an out-of-state owner and need a principal who is at the property every week, not a vendor managing remotely.
  • You have a project in trouble — schedule slipping, change orders escalating — and need a senior principal to take control.

When this is not the right entry point

  • You want third-party threshold inspection. That is a code service, not a representation service.
  • You want a contractor's superintendent. We work for the owner, not the GC.

How an engagement starts

A project review. We look at the schedule, the contract, the current draw, and the open change orders. We tell you what we would do this week if we were in your seat.
