About Us
WFM provides independent, third party support on construction projects.
Our autonomy insures that the client receives the best value & protection of their investment. We focus on solving problems and achieving goals. Our responsibility is to work directly for and report to you as your “Supplemental” Facilities Department.
The distinction between an Owner’s Representative and a Construction Manager or other construction professional is that an Owner’s Representative is focused only on the best interests of the client. This eliminates any inherent conflicts that may exist due to the fee basis of the other professional contracts. Those fees may be based on a percentage of the total construction or project cost, and as the costs rise, so does the fee. In contrast, the Owner’s Rep. either works by the hour or a set “capped” fee for the entire project and has no vested interest in any escalation of the project cost. An Owner’s Rep. is a valuable savings for the owner especially when brought in at the project inception This gives the client a resource to help plan the project, identify missing items at an early stage and anticipate any challenges that may develop. This in turn will keep the “dreaded” Change Orders to a minimum.
