A custom home, commercial building, or institutional project puts you across the table from professionals who do this every day. An owner's representative levels that table: an advisor who has represented owners since 1998, backed by four decades as a builder and developer, whose only client is you.
Architects design. Contractors build. Both are essential, and both have their own interests in every decision: fee structures, schedules, margins, reputations. What most projects lack is someone with deep construction and development experience whose only interest is the owner's outcome.
That is the role. From before the architect is selected until the last punch item closes, Martin acts as your advisor, translator, and advocate, asking the questions you don't know to ask, reading the documents the way a builder reads them, and holding everyone to the standard your money deserves.
Architects refer owner's representation because it makes their projects go better. A knowledgeable owner's side means decisions get made on time, budgets stay honest, and the design survives contact with construction. Martin has spent four decades building work by serious architects in Aspen and Jackson Hole; he reads drawings the way you intend them, and treats design intent as scope, not suggestion.
The best time to bring on an owner's rep is before the big commitments are signed. The second-best time is now.
