Owner's Representative Services
Owner's Representative and Project Management for Permitting
The permitting and entitlement phase has more moving parts than any other stage of a project, consultants, contractors, agencies, schedules, and a community that all need to be managed at once. At Concord Crest Real Estate, we step in as your owner's representative and project manager for that phase, so you have one accountable partner keeping everything on track.
We identify what the project needs, assemble and coordinate the right team, hold the schedule, and interface with the community and governmental agencies on your behalf. You stay focused on the big decisions while we manage the details that keep the project moving.
What an Owner's Representative Does
An owner's representative protects your interests across a project by managing the people, the process, and the timeline so you do not have to. We act as the single point of accountability for the permitting and entitlement phase.
As your owner's rep, we:
- Represent your interests with every consultant, contractor, and agency
- Keep the whole team aligned on scope, schedule, and goals
- Anticipate problems and resolve them before they cost time or money
- Give you clear, regular visibility into where the project stands
- Make sure the phase delivers what you actually need
You get the benefit of an experienced developer managing the project, without adding headcount to your own team.
Managing the Permitting and Entitlement Phase
The stretch from concept to approved permits is where projects gain or lose the most time. We manage it end to end, so the phase moves in the right order and nothing stalls.
We oversee:
- The sequence of due diligence, entitlements, and permitting
- Every submittal, review, and approval across departments
- The dependencies between design, code, and city process
- The critical path that determines your start date
Because we handle land entitlements and permit expediting directly, we manage this phase from the inside, not from the sidelines.
Consultant and Contractor Coordination
A project is only as smooth as the team behind it. We help you assemble the right consultants and contractors and keep them working in sync.
Our coordination includes:
- Identifying the consultants and contractors the project requires
- Recommending qualified professionals, with preferred rates when available
- Aligning architects, engineers, and specialists around one plan
- Managing handoffs so nothing falls between team members
- Holding everyone to the scope and schedule
The result is a team that moves as one, with us making sure every piece connects. Early in a project, this starts with property development due diligence to define what the team needs to deliver.
Schedule, Scope and Budget Oversight
Great project management comes down to three things: keeping scope defined, the schedule on track, and the budget under control. We watch all three closely.
We provide:
- Detailed schedules and active oversight to keep them met
- Scope management so the project does not drift
- Budget awareness across consultants and city requirements
- Early warning when something threatens time or cost
- Regular reporting so you always know where things stand
When a mid-project change comes up, we manage it, coordinating the fix and any needed supplemental permit without derailing the plan.
Who We Help
Owner's representation is most valuable to those carrying the risk and the responsibility for a project:
- Developers who want one accountable partner through permitting
- Property owners managing a project without an in-house team
- Investors who need the entitlement and permitting phase run tightly
- Out-of-area clients who need local eyes and management on the ground
- Teams stretched thin who need experienced oversight added
If you need someone to own the process and keep it moving, this is built for you.

Project Management FAQs
What does an owner's representative do?
An owner's representative manages a project on the owner's behalf, coordinating consultants, contractors, and agencies while protecting the schedule, scope, and budget. We serve as your single point of accountability through the permitting and entitlement phase.
How is an owner's rep different from a project manager?
The roles overlap, but an owner's representative specifically represents your interests across the whole team, rather than managing a single company's scope. We look out for the project and the owner, not one contractor's piece of it.
Do I need an owner's representative?
If you lack the time or in-house team to manage a complex permitting and entitlement phase, or you are managing a project from out of the area, an owner's rep gives you experienced oversight without adding permanent staff.
What phase of the project do you manage?
We focus on the permitting and entitlement phase, from due diligence and approvals through permits and certificate of occupancy. It is the phase with the most agencies and dependencies, and where strong management makes the biggest difference.
Can you recommend consultants and contractors?
Yes. We identify what the project needs and recommend qualified professionals, with preferred rates when available, then coordinate the whole team through the process.
