I spent 25+ years as a GC working 70-hour weeks. As an owner's representative I've managed $250 million in projects and I work 40 hours or less per week. I now have time for family and friends.

The Reality
The Opportunity
An owner's representative (OR) works on behalf of the building owner to manage a construction project. Unlike a general contractor, you're not managing crews or responsible for execution. You're monitoring contractor performance, managing the budget, managing risk, ensuring quality, and protecting the owner's interests.
That means: there's less liability and less operational stress, and a strategic advisory role instead of a day-to-day execution role.
There's a Better Way
I was a good general contractor. But I was burning out working 70-hour weeks managing crews, trades, and a hundred daily crises.
In 2019 I became an owner's representative for the City of Denver.
I still manage large, complex construction projects. The difference? I'm not running the crews. I'm monitoring contractor performance, protecting the owner's interests, and managing the budget. There's less liability and less operational stress.
