Designing and building a waterfront estate in Sarasota requires more than a talented architect—it demands expert representation to align every moving piece. Between permitting, contractor bids, and quality inspections, an owner’s representative ensures your vision is executed flawlessly.


The Role of an Owner’s Representative

Guiding You from Blueprint to Completion

From concept to certificate of occupancy, your owner’s rep should:

  1. Vet architects and contractors for relevant coastal experience.

  2. Oversee all permitting and FEMA compliance.

  3. Track budgets, change orders, and progress payments.

  4. Perform milestone inspections and progress reviews.

  5. Ensure close-out documentation, warranties, and as-builts are delivered.
