Owner’s representation · Miami-Dade · Broward · Palm Beach
Construction project management for owners, developers and investors.
We’re your owner’s representative on new builds and major renovations across South Florida. We manage the design team, secure the permits and approvals, help you select the right contractor and negotiate the contract, and oversee construction for quality, schedule and cost until the job is finished. We work for you, never the contractor.
Founder & Principal
Osher DyceProject manager for developers, investors and private owners in New York, Los Angeles, Sydney and South Florida.Why hire an owner’s rep
Your contractor has a team of professionals. You should have one too.
Contractors have estimators, project managers and contracts written in their favor. Most owners have an architect’s drawings. We even that out.
- ✓A contract that protects youMost construction contracts are drafted by the builder. We negotiate the allowances, exclusions and change-order terms before you sign.
- ✓Payments that match the workWe walk the site and check every payment request against the work in place, so you only pay for what’s been built.
- ✓Change orders kept in checkWe define the scope clearly up front and review every change request, so you approve only what’s justified, at a fair price.
- ✓Every key decision stays yoursWe handle the daily questions from the contractor and bring you the decisions that matter, with a clear recommendation. Nothing changes without your approval.
Simple arithmetic, not a quote or a guarantee. In our experience, contractor proposals often come down 10–20% when someone who knows the numbers negotiates them.

How a project runs
You can bring us in at the first sketch or in the middle of a job. Each phase ends with something in writing: a budget, compared bids, a signed contract, a weekly report, a closeout binder.

We walk the property, read the plans and contracts, and tell you plainly where the risks are.
- 02
Plan and design
We manage the architect and engineers and check the design can be built for the budget.
- 03
Permits and approvals
We list every approval the job needs, prepare the package and present it.
- 04
Bid and negotiate
We compare contractor bids line by line and negotiate the price and the contract.
- 05
Build and control
We check every contractor bill and change order, track the schedule and walk the job for quality.

We see the punch list finished and collect the warranties, drawings and final lien releases.
How we compare
Three ways to run a project
| On your own | Contractor only | With Monster Project Group | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who’s on your side | No one. You’re handling it on your own. | The contractor, who answers to their own bottom line. | We are. We work only for you. |
| How they get paid | Every mistake comes out of your budget. | The more they sell you, the more they earn. | A flat monthly fee or a percentage of construction value. No commissions from anyone. |
| The contract | You sign the contractor’s contract as written. | Written to protect the builder. | We compare every bid line by line, negotiate the price and rewrite the terms in your favor. |
| Paying the contractor | You pay each invoice and hope the work is done. | They bill, and you’re expected to approve. | We check every pay application against the work on site before you pay a dollar. |
| Change orders | Hard to judge, easy to sign. | Priced by the side that profits from them. | We confirm it’s truly extra work, check the price and push back. |
| Schedule | You hear about delays after they cost you. | Built around their other jobs, not yours. | We track it weekly and flag delays before they grow. |
| Permits and boards | Learned the hard way, one rejection at a time. | Usually not in their contract. | We map every approval, prepare the package and present it for you. |
| When things go wrong | You face the dispute alone. | They’re the side you’re disputing with. | Every decision is on paper, and we bring a plan to get back on track. |
Meet the founder
Having someone on your team who knows the industry goes a long way when the details that come up cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Osher studied construction management and has spent more than ten years managing projects in New York, Los Angeles and Sydney. He saw owners sign contracts they didn’t understand and pay for work that wasn’t done. He started Monster Project Group so owners have a professional of their own.

We review the contract, the pay applications, the schedule and the site, find what went wrong, and give you a plan to finish. Take the two-minute health check to see where your project stands.

Insights
Guides for owners
Owner’s rep vs. general contractor: who works for you?
Both know how buildings get built, but only one is paid to protect the owner. Here is how the general contractor and the owner’s representative differ, and how they work together.
Read the guideWhat does an owner’s representative do, phase by phase?
An owner’s representative runs the business of a build for the owner, from the first budget to the last warranty. This guide goes through each phase and what you should receive.
Read the guideHow to review a contractor pay application
The monthly pay application is the contractor’s request for payment. Here is how to check it line by line, including retainage, stored materials and Florida lien waivers, with a worked example.
Read the guideWhat is an owner’s representative?
A construction manager who works for the owner and no one else. We manage design, approvals, budget, bidding, contracts, pay applications, change orders, schedule and closeout, and you make the decisions.
How is an owner’s rep different from a general contractor?
The general contractor (GC) holds the construction contract and earns its margin from the build. We have no contract with your builder, take no markups and hold the GC to the contract you signed.
How do you charge?
A flat monthly retainer or a percentage of construction value, whichever fits. After a first consultation, you get a written proposal with scope and fee.
How much does an owner’s rep cost?
It depends on the project’s size, complexity, length and the phases you need. We put the fee in writing once we understand the project, with no hidden fees.
What happens after I reach out?
We reply within one business day and set up a free consultation. If it’s a fit, we send a written proposal and start once it is signed.
My project is over budget or behind schedule. Can you help?
Yes. Project Recovery starts with a 72-hour audit of the contract, payments, change orders, schedule, permits and lien exposure. You get the causes, a revised plan and the controls to carry it out.
