Chrys & Associates: A Construction Project Management Company Serving Vancouver & British Columbia
Expert Advice, Smart Decisions, Better Results.
Our Owner Representative Services in Vancouver
An owner’s representative is an independent professional who manages a construction project on behalf of the property owner, protecting their budget, schedule, and quality while coordinating contractors, consultants, and municipal approvals. Unlike a general contractor, an owner’s representative has no financial stake in the build, so their advice is impartial and aligned entirely with your outcome.
Chrys & Associates combines this owner’s-rep role with professional Quantity Surveying, giving you both the financial control and the on-site oversight most construction management firms provide only as separate, more expensive engagements.

1. Planning
We start by defining the scope, budget, timeline, and risk tolerance of the project. This is where feasibility is tested, and unrealistic assumptions are caught early, long before money is spent. Owners who invest in strong planning routinely avoid the costly surprises that appear when construction begins without a clear brief.
5. Monitoring
Throughout the build, we monitor cost, schedule, safety, and quality using proven controls such as Earned Value Management and the Critical Path Method. Problems are flagged before they become crises. Every change order is scrutinised for fairness and accuracy before it reaches your budget.

Efficient delivery, high-quality outcomes, and maximum return on your investment, measured by the finished asset you receive, not simply by the work that gets completed.

06. Coordinate Every Trade

08
08. Protect Quality to Handover
