An Experienced Team That Works for You

Most commercial owners only build a handful of projects over a career. The GC, A/E, and consultants do this every day. That asymmetry usually costs owners money, time, and quality. TCG's owner's representative service brings an experienced team to your side of the table, independent of the contractor and the designer, to protect schedule, budget, and quality from pre-design through closeout.

For Jacksonville projects, we know the local jurisdictions, the subcontractor market, and the FBC, AHCA, and SJRWMD review paths. We can lead GC and A/E selection, negotiate the contract, manage the preconstruction phase, oversee construction management, and own monthly ownership reporting.

Background reading: what developers actually lose when the GC relationship breaks down and how to read a commercial GC bid.

Local Market

Owner's Rep in Northeast Florida

Local jurisdictions: We know City of Jacksonville Building Inspection, St. Johns, Clay, Nassau, and Baker county departments, AHCA review for healthcare, and SJRWMD ERP for stormwater impacts.

Wind, water, soil: FBC wind, sandy soils with high water tables, and coastal corrosion are all standard considerations on First Coast projects. Our team knows where these matter most.

Out-of-state owners: We frequently represent out-of-state owners and operators who need an experienced local team to lead the project and report back to ownership.

Independence: On any project where TCG is acting as owner's representative, TCG is not the GC. Independence is the value, so we protect it strictly.

FAQ

Jacksonville Owner's Rep FAQ

What is an owner's representative and when do I need one?
An owner's representative is an experienced team that works for the owner, independent of the designer and the contractor, to protect schedule, budget, and quality. You typically need one when your in-house team does not build often, when the project is large or complex, or when you are an out-of-state owner needing experienced eyes locally.
How much does owner's rep cost in Jacksonville?
Fees commonly run about 2 to 5 percent of hard cost on smaller projects, 1.5 to 3 percent in the 5 to 25 million range, and 0.75 to 2 percent on larger projects. Monthly not-to-exceed structures are also common, scoped by stage.
Can TCG act as both GC and owner's rep?
No. Independence is the entire value of an owner's representative engagement. Where TCG is the owner's rep, TCG is not the GC, and we run an independent GC selection process on the owner's behalf.
What does an owner's rep do in Jacksonville specifically?
Local knowledge matters: City of Jacksonville Building Inspection, surrounding county departments, AHCA review for healthcare, SJRWMD ERP for stormwater impacts, FBC wind requirements, and the realities of soils and humidity along the First Coast all change how a project gets built. We anticipate these on the owner's behalf.
Can TCG lead GC selection and contract negotiation?
Yes. We lead bid lists, RFPs, scoring, interviews, and AIA or custom contract negotiation, then manage the GC relationship through closeout.
Can an owner's rep help before a site is closed on?
Yes. Pre-design feasibility, site due diligence, and budget framing protect owners from committing capital to projects that do not pencil. See our construction loan qualifier and finance and owner advisory resources.
