Chrys & Associates: A Construction Project Management Company Serving Vancouver & British Columbia

Expert Advice, Smart Decisions, Better Results.

Chrys & Associates is an owner-focused construction management firm based in Delta, British Columbia, providing independent Quantity Surveying and Project Management for property owners, developers, and homeowners across Vancouver, Surrey, Maple Ridge, Port Coquitlam, and the entire Lower Mainland. We represent your interests, never the contractor’s, from the first budget line to project close-out.
Avoid costly mistakes, delays, and budget overruns with the right oversight from day one. We optimise construction timelines using Primavera P6 and MS Project to eliminate bottlenecks and guarantee on-time delivery.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is construction project management?
Construction project management involves overseeing a construction project from inception to completion, ensuring it’s delivered on time, within budget, and according to quality standards.
A quantity surveyor manages all costs on building and civil engineering projects, from initial estimates to the final account, helping control budgets, reduce costs, and ensure value for money.

We handle residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects across Canada, including renovations, new builds, and government-funded developments.

Yes. We provide detailed cost estimates, feasibility studies, and cash flow forecasts during the planning phase to help clients make informed investment decisions.
You can contact us through our website, email, or call our office directly to schedule a free initial consultation or request a project-specific quote.
Not every project needs one. Small, straightforward renovations with complete plans and minimal changes can be handled by a good general contractor alone. A construction manager becomes valuable when a project is complex, high-value, multi-phase, or involves significant risk, for example, a custom build, a major renovation, or a specialty development. If you are unsure, a short feasibility conversation will tell you which route fits.
As your construction project management partner, we take responsibility for monitoring and reporting cost and schedule, flagging risks early, and driving corrective action. We manage the contractors and hold them accountable to the agreed budget and timeline. Because we represent your interests, our incentive is aligned with keeping your project on track, not protecting a contractor’s margin.
Open-book cost tracking means you see the actual, competitively sourced costs of your project rather than a marked-up lump sum. Savings on the work revert to you, the owner, instead of disappearing into a contractor’s margin. It gives you full visibility into where your money goes and removes the incentive to inflate prices, a core reason owners choose construction management firms over a fixed-price build.
We manage a broad range of projects across the Lower Mainland, including residential renovations, custom builds, and specialty developments, including winery and farm projects, drawing on 20+ years of combined Canadian and international experience. If your project involves meaningful cost, complexity, or risk, it benefits from professional construction project management.
When should I bring an Owner’s Representative?
Ideally, at the planning stage, to ensure proper budgeting, contract preparation, risk management, and project setup. However, we can step in at any stage.
Yes. We help stabilize projects, identify root issues, and implement practical recovery strategies.
Both. We work with homeowners, developers, and investors on residential and small development projects.
By providing independent advice, cost control, and oversight that protects your interests and improves decision-making.
A contractor is paid to build; an owner’s representative is paid to protect the owner. We have no financial interest in the construction itself, so our advice stays impartial.
Construction project management fees are typically charged as a percentage of the total construction cost, a fixed fee, or an hourly rate, depending on the size and complexity of your project. The right structure depends on your scope, so we scope every engagement individually rather than quoting a single number that fits no one.
Most projects in the Lower Mainland require building permits, and many also require zoning, development, or trade-specific approvals that vary by municipality. Vancouver, Delta, and Surrey each have their own processes and timelines. We manage permit applications, inspections, and municipal coordination on your behalf so approvals keep moving and your schedule is protected from avoidable delays.
Yes. Many owners engage us to oversee a team that is already partly in place. We step in as your representative to coordinate the architect, contractor, and consultants, review the design for constructability and cost, run quality and schedule oversight, and scrutinise change orders. You keep your existing relationships and gain a single accountable manager protecting your interests.
Chrys & Associates checks that it is legitimate, fairly priced, properly documented, and genuinely necessary. Uncontrolled change orders are one of the biggest causes of budget blowouts, so acting as your gatekeeper on changes is one of the most direct ways we protect your investment.
We are based in Delta and serve Surrey, Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Maple Ridge, Port Coquitlam, and the wider Lower Mainland, British Columbia. Being local means we understand the permitting processes, contractor networks, and market conditions specific to these municipalities.
