For out-of-state & international owners
Representation for out-of-state owners
Building from New York, Los Angeles or overseas means relying on people you met on a video call. We are on site and in the meetings for you, and we review each invoice before you pay. Osher has worked with owners in Sydney, New York, Los Angeles and South Florida.
What we watch for
Common problems, and how we handle them
Each of these can be prevented when someone catches it early. That’s our job.
No one on site working for you
Contractor updates show what the contractor wants you to see, and problems come out late.
We are on site for you and report what we see, with photos, every week.
Unfamiliar local rules
Hurricane-zone (HVHZ) requirements, product approvals, flood elevation, coastal lines, condo and HOA approvals and city design boards.
We know the local requirements and manage the approvals for you.
Payments sent without checks
Paying without checking progress or collecting lien waivers leaves you exposed under Florida’s Construction Lien Law.
We verify progress and collect lien waivers before you send each payment.
Decisions across time zones
Selections, contractor questions and change orders stall when the owner is hard to reach.
We send you decisions ahead of time with a recommendation, and handle routine items within the limits you set.
Documents that need your signature
The Notice of Commencement, permit applications, contracts and change orders all need timely sign-off.
We prepare each document, explain it and arrange signing in good time.

Typical projects
Projects we manage for out-of-state & international owners
How often will I hear from you?
Every week in writing, with photos, budget, schedule and the decisions we need from you. Urgent issues get a call right away.
Can you sign documents on my behalf?
We act within the authority in our agreement, such as approving routine items and attending inspections. Legal documents like the Notice of Commencement have their own signing rules, and your attorney can advise on a power of attorney.
Do you work with owners outside the U.S.?
Yes. Osher has worked with owners in Sydney, New York and Los Angeles as well as South Florida. We schedule calls around your time zone.
Do I need to visit during construction?
No. Many owners visit at design approval, rough-in and the final walkthrough, and we plan those visits with you.
