Selecting an Owner Advisor
The role of an Owner Advisor has developed over the years as the increasing complexities of contractual obligations have led Owners to seek more advice to be more informed and knowledgeable about the procurement, design, and construction processes. Learn from an Owner about the broad scope of services from pre-award to post-award responsibilities that an Owner Advisor can play, as well as the important role of the Owner in ensuring that the advisor is a true extension of the design-build team.
