Owner's Representation & Capital Project Advisory

VA Projects acts as the owner's representative on capital projects, giving boards and CEOs one accountable lead and clear reporting from feasibility through occupancy.

VA Projects works with boards, CEOs and executive teams at nonprofits, institutions and development companies planning major capital projects in Edmonton and across Alberta.

For the Valley Zoo Development Society, VA Projects turned part of a master plan into a conceptual design for a proposed $150 million development, delivered on its 24-week schedule, 100% on budget and accepted by the Board.

What does an owner's representative do?

An owner's representative works for the building owner, not the contractor or architect. VA Projects manages the budget, schedule, procurement, design team and contractors on the owner's behalf, and reports to the board in plain language so decisions are made on clear information.

Why hire an owner's representative for a major capital project?

Most boards and executive teams build a major facility once in a generation. An owner's representative brings experience they don't have in-house: testing budgets and scope before tender, running fair procurement, catching problems early and keeping every consultant accountable. VA Projects covers every phase, from feasibility and planning through design, procurement, construction and occupancy.
