Why do I need IBY-CO?
IBY-CO is an OPM that will work for you and represent you in your projects. If you already have a qualified team working on your project, you may wonder why you must hire a separate owner’s project manager. An OPM differs from the rest of the team in one significant way: OPMs work for you, the owner. Everything they do will be in your interests alone. Typically, project managers are employees of the construction company that you retained; they don’t work for you.
This means they offer expert, impartial advice with conflicting interests. With them overseeing your project, they can help to some extent. However, they can manipulate any issue to benefit the company they work for; IBY-CO can prevent problems from occurring in the first place. IBY-CO will work for you, the owner. Many things can go wrong in a construction project, from unforeseen construction issues to exceeding the construction schedule or running significantly over budget. Having IBY-CO oversee your project can mitigate those risks and many more. IBY-CO will protect your timeline and the distribution of your funds.
