Owner Representation
Your Eyes and Ears
on Every Project
Horizon Building Company serves as owner's representative for investors, developers, family offices, and private owners across Los Angeles and Southern California. We protect your interests, manage project complexity, and ensure your investment performs as planned — from contract execution through final closeout.
Real estate development and construction are high-stakes, highly specialized disciplines. When you don't have institutional in-house resources, you are entirely reliant on contractors and consultants whose interests do not always align with yours. An experienced owner's representative changes that dynamic.
We work exclusively for our clients — never for contractors, designers, or lenders. Our principals bring institutional-level expertise from over $600 million in combined project experience, applied directly to protecting your investment and delivering your project.
Scope of Services
What's Included
Project Oversight
Full-time principal-level oversight of your project from groundbreaking through closeout. We attend site meetings, review submittals, track RFIs, and keep every team member accountable to the project plan.
Budget Monitoring
Continuous tracking of hard costs, soft costs, contingency draws, and change orders against the approved project budget. We provide clear, real-time visibility into cost performance so you are never surprised.
Schedule Management
Independent review and monitoring of the contractor's project schedule. We identify delays before they compound, evaluate schedule recovery plans, and protect your delivery timeline and carry costs.
Construction Draw Review
Rigorous review of monthly pay applications against actual work in place. We verify quantities, confirm stored materials, and ensure lender draw requirements are met before any funds are released.
Change Order Review
Independent analysis of contractor change order requests for scope validity, pricing accuracy, and schedule impact. We negotiate on your behalf to eliminate unnecessary change orders and reduce inflated costs.
Contractor Coordination
Daily coordination between general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, and inspectors. We manage the communication layer so your project team operates efficiently and without conflict.
Risk Management
Proactive identification and mitigation of project risks — from scope gaps and design conflicts to site conditions and subcontractor performance. We solve problems before they become claims.
Lender Reporting
Preparation of monthly lender progress reports, draw documentation, project status updates, and completion certifications. We manage the lender relationship so you can focus on your investment.
Project Closeout
Comprehensive closeout management including punch list completion, certificate of occupancy, warranty documentation, as-built drawings, and final lien releases — delivered on time and on budget.
