Owner's Representative

An experienced second set of eyes for owners and lenders throughout design and construction.

For developers, institutions and lenders who need independent oversight, Westland acts as owner's representative. We set up the project framework, lead the consultant team, keep budget and schedule current, and report plainly on the decisions the owner needs to make. Engagements range from periodic review to full hands-off project management.
