OWNER’S REPRESENTATION / PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Your plans are complete and ready for bid (whether Urban Red Design was your designer or not) –– now what happens? Contractors and vendors must be vetted before sending your plans out for bid. Bid documents should include a written narrative of what you expect from your contractor, what your schedule is, what your building rules are, etc. Once bids are received they must be leveled to be sure you are comparing apples to apples. Urban Red can handle this entire process for you and help you choose qualified contractors who can effectively complete your work.

Now you are ready to start construction, but you have your life to lead, whether you run your own business, are in court all day, are seeing patients all day, or raising two kids. Whatever it is that you do, you must keep doing it without worrying about your construction project. Who is going to oversee the work? Who will be around to interpret the plans, answer questions, and make sure everything is going as planned? If you have a different architect or interior designer on the project, they likely make a visit to the project site once a week. A great deal of work gets done each week and a once weekly visit means that some work might need to be redone or ripped out (which is costly) by the time a mistake is noticed. Let Urban Red Design represent you on-site and keep your project moving, while constantly monitoring budget, schedule, and quality.
