Owner's Representative

As owner's engineer, Zodiac represents the owners and leverages best possible performance.

Utilizing a team-based approach, we work closely with the project's owner, architect and consultants to provide input during the conceptual stages of a project's design through construction until the facility is operational and occupied.

Zodiac provides input on budget, schedule, constructability, value engineering phasing and logistical issues. As the design progresses, Zodiac leads value engineering meetings to create maximum value without compromising program, function or design intent. This approach provides owners start-to-finish direction over the four most critical aspects of their projects: cost control, schedule maintenance, quality assurance and safety program.
