Owner's Representative (BHO)
The owner's technical representative — coordinates consultants, oversees execution and safeguards the owner's interests.
The owner's representative is the owner's voice in the project. When the owner lacks in-house technical expertise, we act as their representative throughout the project — from concept selection to handover.
Our role
- Technical representative to designers, contractors and suppliers
- Coordination of consultants on behalf of the owner
- Verification of designed solutions against the owner's actual needs
- Decision support for concept, material and technology choices
- Monitoring of cost, schedule and quality on behalf of the owner
- Acceptance and handover, including technical documentation
What it prevents
- Decisions taken on the contractor's terms because the owner lacks independent technical expertise
- Technical choices that are inexpensive to construct but expensive to operate
- Incomplete documentation at handover
When it is appropriate
- Property funds and family-owned companies without an internal technical department
- Housing cooperatives and condominium associations during major refurbishments
- Public project owners needing specialist technical expertise
We have no supplier interests. That means our recommendations are made in the owner's interest — even when that is inconvenient for the project.
