Owner's Representative.
APSI represents the owner's interests across design, procurement, construction, and commissioning. We hold designers and contractors to the standard you actually signed up for. Truly independent since 1990: no GC affiliation, no design conflict, no incentive misaligned with yours.
On the owner's side of the table.
An owner's rep only works if they're truly independent. No GC affiliation, no design conflict, no incentive misaligned with yours. APSI has been an owner-side firm since 1990. We don't self-perform construction or design, which means our advice is always pointed in one direction: yours.
The result is fewer surprises in the OAC, fewer change orders that survive scrutiny, and a project that lands where the budget and schedule said it would. APSI embeds senior CMs into your team. People who've sat across from the toughest GCs, mediated hostile claims, and recovered schedules everyone else had given up on.
Core Owner's Representative Capabilities
Validate the program against budget reality, review A/E selection, and pressure-test scope before a single design dollar is committed.
Manage A/E deliverables, lead constructability and value-engineering reviews, run interdisciplinary coordination, and protect the owner from scope drift.
Develop bid strategy, manage RFPs and RFQs, lead bid analysis, and negotiate contracts with the rigor of a federal contracting officer.
Run the OAC, review pay applications, enforce schedule and quality, manage RFIs and submittals, and hold the GC accountable to the contract instead of the conversation.
Independently evaluate every change request and time-impact analysis. Most of what gets submitted doesn't survive a real review.
Oversee the Cx agent, drive punch-list closure, validate as-builts and O&M turnover, and manage the warranty period so you actually use the warranty.
A repeatable, audit-ready playbook.
Senior CM placed into your project team within days. We learn your governance, contract documents, and stakeholder map.
Document control, RFI and submittal turnaround SLAs, change-order protocols, and reporting cadence. Written, signed, enforced.
Daily field presence, weekly OAC, monthly executive report. We surface issues early, before they become claims.
Punch, Cx, warranty, and a complete turnover package. We don't leave until the building works the way you bought it.
Where we've done this work.
Mobilized within days to take over a behind-schedule project, restructured the recovery plan, and held the GC to a firm tenant move-in date that the owner had committed to. Move-in met on schedule.
We say no for a living. Shadow schedule analysis defeated a contractor claim that would have required $3M in unwarranted expenditure and a 470-day time extension. The contemporaneous record we built held under scrutiny.

$15.5M, 16,900 SF residential treatment facility. Owner-side CM through groundbreaking and construction.

- We say no for a living. At Saddleback Stadium, that posture prevented $3M in unwarranted expenditure and a 470-day time extension through shadow schedule analysis. Owners hire us specifically because we will push back on a GC, an A/E, or even an internal stakeholder when the project requires it.
- Truly independent. We don't self-perform construction or design. Your interests are the only ones we're paid to defend.
- Senior CMs embedded, not bait-and-switch staffing. The names in the proposal are the names on the project.
- Mobilization measured in days, not weeks. On the DA Building recovery, we were on site within days and held the contractor to a firm tenant move-in date.
- Document discipline built for audit. Our RFI logs, change registers, and cost reports stand up to federal IG, state controller, and bond-counsel review.
