Four Owner’s Reps Weigh in on Adapting to Industry Evolution, Shifting Client Needs
In an era of labor shortages, emerging delivery models, political shifts, integrated technology, supply-chain disruptions and rising expectations for collaborative, community-facing and mission-driven projects, owner’s representatives have had to evolve. These critical project team members are adapting their approaches, expanding their scopes, and responding to new demands to keep projects moving forward.
For the July/August edition of Correctional News, the publication invited Ed Whatley, PE, CCM, senior vice president and director of Program Management at CGL Companies; Tim Hancock, senior executive director and justice lead at Vanir; Cameron Glass, director of justice at Kitchell; and Bill Dobyns, senior project management direct for Turner & Townsend Heery, to weigh in on the changing role of the owner’s rep. See the original article for their additional thoughts on the role’s shift from enforcer to partner, requiring a new skillset and the ability to address new pressures and meet higher expectations.
