Huntsville Owner’s Representation: Your Project, Our Priority
Advastar has supported the most innovative companies and complex projects across the nation
Huntsville owner's representation recruiting and staffing solutions
Advastar is a construction owner’s representative and project management firm serving Huntsville and the Tennessee Valley. We act for owners on capital projects from planning through turnover, keeping cost, schedule and quality on track, and we recruit owner-side project managers and construction managers when an owner wants to build its own team.
Experienced owner-side professionals are scarce in Huntsville. About 770 construction managers and only about 350 cost estimators work in the metro, according to May 2025 federal estimates. Large owners often find their capital program outgrows their in-house team.
Healthcare and defense will add to that load. A $150 million expansion is adding five stories and 120 private patient rooms to Huntsville Hospital’s Madison Street Tower, and U.S. Space Command plans to break ground on its new headquarters on a roughly 60-acre site at Redstone Arsenal in 2027, with completion around 2031.
We step in as the owner’s single point of contact: reviewing design, running procurement, managing contractors and pay applications, and closing out the project. Where an owner would rather hire, we recruit project executives, construction managers and estimators to the owner’s own payroll.

Huntsville owner's representation industry segments commonly supported
In a fast-growing market, site choice sets the budget. We help Huntsville owners assess zoning, utilities and access before they commit to a property.
We review drawings from architects and engineers for cost, constructability and code compliance, and recommend changes before they become change orders.
Our project managers lead the work day to day, coordinating designers, contractors and the owner’s own staff on schedule and budget.
We package bids, qualify vendors and track long-lead equipment so materials reach Tennessee Valley sites when the schedule needs them.
We select contractors, negotiate terms and then represent the owner on site, inspecting progress against budget, schedule and quality.
We review pay applications, change orders and lien waivers so the owner always knows what has been committed and paid.
We keep a live risk register covering cost, labor, weather and supply, and act early when one starts to move.
We coordinate commissioning agents and trades to test building systems and resolve issues before occupancy.
We collect as-builts, manuals and training records at close-out, then track warranty claims until they are resolved.
