An Owner's Representative is someone who will guide the Owner through the acquisition and building process. As an Owner, taking on the design and construction of a new project comes with many challenges and great risks. It takes a lot of industry knowledge and experience to become fluent in the terminology, people, and process involved in a design and construction process. As an Owner's Representative, the Iqamah Group takes over some of the legwork by managing and executing the project on your behalf. We work alongside you from the beginning of the project to its completion to make sure your time, money, and resources are being utilized in the best way and your project is completed in the way you envision it in shāʾ Allah.
As an Owner's Representative, the Iqamah Group will assess your project plans, bids, and contracts, ensuring that your conditions are met and that your best interests are prioritized. The Iqamah Group's team of experts will recommend cost-saving measures and value engineering techniques by analyzing bids for consistency, identifying errors, evaluating your project based on normal construction standards, and negotiating agreements for you. The Iqamah Group will also perform a full array of site and quality control inspections for the benefit of the owners. You will find that the amount an Owner's Representative will help you save far exceeds the cost incurred by hiring an Owner's Representative, particularly a nonprofit like the Iqamah Group.
Oftentimes, the acquisition of new property or a new construction project can be a daunting task. You are entrusted with your community's funds to build a Center that will be a home for your community's men, women, and children. Ideally, an Owner's Representative will begin working with you from the start of your project to serve as a subject matter expert and steer you to success. However, even if your project is already underway, an Owner's Representative is still crucial. You may feel overwhelmed by all the unexpected requirements or lack time, due to your other responsibilities, to keep up with the project. You may experience roadblocks or encounter mistakes you need to fix. You may be behind schedule or maybe, you just need backup from someone with decades of experience successfully executing projects like yours. As an Owner's Representative, the Iqamah Group will serve as a problem solver, negotiator, strategist, analyst, and first and foremost, your eyes and ears throughout the process and duration of the project.
