Over the past 12 years I have worked mainly with construction professionals, but there was a two-year stretch in there where I was a representative on simultaneous projects in which the owners were located in Europe.  Representatives act in the interests of the project owner, but contractors can also benefit from their presence.

Steve Cooper, with Cooper Project Advisors in Oklahoma City, is one who specializes in the role of representing the owner during the construction process.  Rather than consider him as a competitor, I reached out to him for this podcast so that he can help shed some light on what project owners want and need, based on his 34 years of experience.

Whether you're a project owner wanting to understand the benefits of the cost of hiring a representative, or a contractor wondering why the owner has a representative closely associated with a project, you can learn something from the following 20 minutes.

Thanks for listening.
