You need senior leadership on the owner's side of the project.
The design team, the contractor and the lender each bring their own people. Owner's representation puts an experienced operator on yours: feasibility to closeout, reporting to you alone.
Independent construction & development advisory · BC & Alberta
Your project. Your side of the table.
Owner's representation, independent cost, and the permit and reporting systems around both, for owners in BC and Alberta. You work with me directly, with scope and fee in writing before any work starts. We never hold a construction contract on a project we advise.
Services
Three practice areas. One position: yours.
You need construction cost you can rely on.
A budget before commitment, a draw before funding, a replacement cost after a loss. An independent written estimate, every rate sourced and dated, from a firm paid by you alone.
Your approvals or your reporting are holding the project back.
When approvals are stuck: permit strategy, and the work with the authority from application to decision. When reporting is the problem: a monthly routine that puts cost and schedule in front of the people who can act, early enough to matter.
The principle
The number in the report is the number.
Nobody else pays us, so there's nobody it would be convenient to be wrong for. We never hold a construction contract on a project we advise.
Why Kingsley
Pieter Schoeman · Principal
Four seats at the table. Now one side of it.
SubtradeGeneral contractorCost consultantOwner's representative
I've been in construction since 2003, as a subtrade, a general contractor, a cost consultant and an owner's representative. Kingsley is the owner's seat, held for the owner only, by someone who knows what the other three are thinking. Over $1B in project oversight across my career, in Canada, the US, the UK and Southern Africa.
Proof
What clients say.
KAG assisted us with the review of a complex construction cost analysis for a heavy industrial asset in the Alberta oil sands. Pieter was highly responsive, providing a consultation report within a very tight timeframe. His deep expertise in the costing of specialized, rural, and industrial assets was a key reason we engaged KAG. We would highly recommend Pieter and the KAG team to anyone requiring specialized valuation and cost consulting services.
Plans.io engaged Kingsley Advisory Group in April, with Pieter as our fractional VP of Projects. He has taken on oversight of our projects, improved how our operations run, and led the implementation of new technology across the business. He brings senior judgment to all three, and the follow-through to see each one done properly. I'd recommend KAG to any owner who needs that kind of leadership without a full-time hire.
