Advastar delivers owner representation that matches how projects get built in Peachtree Corners, giving owners a single accountable voice from the first programming meeting through final turnover. We safeguard budget, schedule, and quality on capital programs across Technology Park, the Curiosity Lab corridor, Town Center, and the commercial and light industrial stretches along Peachtree Parkway and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. Our role is simple to describe and demanding to execute. We protect your interests every day so work reaches the finish line without surprises.
We keep large efforts aligned by managing the flow of information among architects, engineers, general contractors, EPC partners, and specialty trades while staying in close contact with city staff and county reviewers. In practice that means coordinating with Gwinnett County Planning and Development for permits and inspections, working with Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services and the State Fire Marshal as needed, and sequencing utility activities with Georgia Power or Jackson EMC territories, Atlanta Gas Light, and the Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources. When scopes touch streams and floodplain areas that feed the Chattahoochee River, we engage environmental stakeholders early so access and approvals are ready before mobilization.
Effective oversight in Peachtree Corners begins in planning. We test budgets against real pricing, validate schedules against labor and crane availability, lead constructability and risk reviews, and set procurement strategies that reflect local vendor capacity and long lead equipment. Our preconstruction work includes drawing and specification reviews that clear clashes before they reach the field, clear bid packages that reduce scope gaps, and contracting approaches that balance cost and performance while keeping flexibility for occupied campuses and live retail.
Once construction starts we remain on site and disciplined about controls. We verify installation against plans and codes, track submittals, RFIs, inspections, and commissioning milestones, and report progress tied to earned value and the critical path. Outage windows, tie ins, and cutovers are coordinated with power, gas, water, and sewer providers so start up occurs on time. Logistics plans account for tight sites near The Forum and Town Center, night work for crane picks on Peachtree Parkway and Spalding Drive, and traffic conditions on Medlock Bridge Road and the I 85 access points so deliveries land safely and crews stay productive.
Cost, safety, and quality are managed continuously. We review pay applications, evaluate change orders, protect contingency, and maintain clear exposure tracking. Safety and workmanship are audited on a regular cadence with independent testing when appropriate. When issues surface we drive root cause analysis and corrective action rather than letting problems drift to punch lists. Closeout begins early with a turnover plan that covers life safety testing, systems training, record drawings, operations manuals, warranty management, and a clean handoff so facilities teams inherit an asset that is ready to operate.
Owners in Peachtree Corners choose Advastar for an independent perspective grounded in local practice. Whether you are upgrading a central plant across a technology campus, building lab and office space tied to Curiosity Lab partners, renovating occupied state or corporate offices, or delivering a river basin sensitive infrastructure scope that demands careful stormwater management, we align every decision with your goals and budget. If you want owner representation that understands local codes, utilities, permitting, traffic, and weather and that will defend your investment from day one, connect with our Peachtree Corners team and put your project on the strongest possible footing.
We collaborate with real estate professionals for site selection and acquisition. Once we’ve identified suitable property, we perform comprehensive assessments, including zoning analysis, environmental studies, and market research, to ensure the land aligns with your investment strategy and project requirements. Once we’ve confirmed the site is viable, we coordinate with local authorities to secure all necessary permits and approvals.
We review the plans developed by architects and engineering teams to ensure they are feasible, efficient, and aligned to the project’s objectives, as well as in compliance with all relevant codes, standards, and regulations. When they could be improved, we evaluate alternatives that save costs without sacrificing functionality or quality.
We take a hands-on approach to managing complex construction projects from start to finish, ensuring they stay on schedule, within budget, and aligned with quality and compliance standards. Our team provides proactive leadership, contractor coordination, and risk management for projects of all sizes, from new builds to mission-critical facility upgrades. With a results-driven approach, we help owners and developers successfully deliver their vision.
We manage the complete procurement lifecycle—from sourcing strategy and bid packaging to final delivery—so every material, service, and piece of equipment reaches the site precisely when the schedule demands and at the best total cost of ownership. Leveraging market intelligence and rigorous vendor pre‑qualification, we secure favorable terms, track supplier performance, and uphold quality standards. By synchronizing purchase orders with construction sequencing, we eliminate supply‑chain bottlenecks and keep your project momentum strong.
We take charge of the contractor selection, bidding, and negotiations, securing high-quality services at the best possible financial terms for the owner. After work is in progress, we act as the owner’s representative on the construction site, managing contractors and ensuring their work is adhering to the project’s budget, schedule, and quality standards. This includes conducting regular inspections to verify work quality and adherence to safety protocols, as well as monitoring expenditures, providing detailed financial reporting, and implementing strategies to mitigate construction delays.
Once contracts are signed, we serve as the owner’s fiscal and legal steward, monitoring pay applications, change orders, lien waivers, and compliance milestones in real time. Dedicated administrators maintain airtight documentation and enforce terms, alerting stakeholders to deviations before they threaten budget or schedule. This clarity over cash flow and obligations frees your project team to focus on building, while safeguarding your legal position.
Large CAPEX programs face shifting markets, regulatory changes, labor shortages, and weather extremes—risks that can quickly erode contingency. We maintain a dynamic risk register, quantify exposure, and deploy mitigation plans from day one, including hedging strategies, alternate sourcing, and resequenced work. Continuous monitoring and transparent reporting empower owners to make data‑driven decisions and keep projects on course.
We coordinate with commissioning agents to test and validate HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and other building systems, ensuring they’re functional and meet performance specifications. We also oversee the resolution of outstanding issues identified during inspections and manage the transition from construction to operation, providing ongoing support to address issues that arise after occupancy.
Our commitment extends beyond substantial completion. We drive a disciplined close‑out process that captures as‑built drawings, O&M manuals, training records, and final commissioning results. After turnover, we track warranty obligations, coordinate issue resolution, and ensure contractors respond swiftly—protecting your asset’s performance and value long after ribbon‑cutting.
As GE’s staffing partner of the year, we’re dedicated to serving our Peachtree Corners owner’s representation clients with world-class support and we’d love to learn more about your objectives to create a custom owner’s representation staffing solution for your next project: Contract Staffing, Contract-to-Hire, Direct Placement, or Payrolling Services.
An Owner’s Representative (OR) is the project owner’s fiduciary agent, providing end‑to‑end project management across planning, design, construction, and close‑out. We translate your vision into actionable scope, vet architect and engineering plans, select the general contractor, and oversee risk management, project budgeting, scheduling, quality management, and contract administration. Because we are independent of vendors, every decision—change orders, pay apps, schedule shifts—prioritizes your budget, timeline, and long‑term asset value.
A Construction Manager (CM) typically works under the contractor or as part of the building team, focusing on day‑to‑day site logistics. An Owner’s Representative, by contrast, is hired directly by the project owner and governed by agency law to act with undivided loyalty. We manage contracts, budgets, and stakeholder alignment, audit safety and quality, and resolve disputes—functions that go beyond a CM’s remit and protect the owner’s interests throughout the building design and construction lifecycle.
The greatest ROI comes from engaging an OR during project planning—before real estate is purchased or design begins. Early involvement lets us shape scope, run feasibility studies, establish realistic project budgets and schedules, and pre‑empt risks. We remain active through project design, construction phases, commissioning, and project close‑out, ensuring continuity and accountability at every milestone.
We maintain an integrated control system: a living risk register, a detailed cost‑loaded CPM schedule, and monthly cash‑flow forecasts. By aligning project budgeting, project scheduling, and quality management with contractual obligations, we spot variances early and deploy mitigation strategies—re‑sequencing work, value engineering with the architect, or negotiating with the general contractor. This proactive approach keeps capital projects on time and on budget.
Advastar offers several transparent fee structures: fixed‑fee for well‑defined scopes, time‑and‑materials when scope may evolve, and milestone‑based payments tied to deliverables such as permit approval, guaranteed maximum price (GMP) execution, or project closeout. We also accommodate cost‑plus arrangements for complex, multi‑year programs. Each model is tailored to your risk tolerance and cash‑flow needs.
Under U.S. agency law, an OR owes the project owner a fiduciary duty of loyalty, care, and full disclosure. We must act solely in your best interest—free from conflicts with contractors, architects, or suppliers—while safeguarding confidential information, verifying compliance, and delivering unbiased advice on every financial or technical decision.
Any organization undertaking large capital projects with tight regulatory or performance requirements gains value. Typical sectors include power generation, renewable energy, industrial manufacturing, data centers, healthcare, higher education, and commercial real estate development. Projects with complex permitting, multi‑stakeholder financing, or mission‑critical uptime needs see the greatest benefit from independent oversight.
Yes. Fast‑track and design‑build delivery compress schedules but amplify risk. We implement agile project scheduling, concurrent design‑review cycles, and rigorous quality management checkpoints. Our team coordinates real‑time decisions between the design‑builder, subcontractors, and permitting agencies, ensuring accelerated timelines never compromise cost control or code compliance.
Absolutely. While Advastar has deep contractor networks in Kansas, Missouri, Texas, and neighboring states, we routinely staff on‑site teams and remote construction consultants nationwide. For international owners building in the U.S., we provide local market expertise, supply‑chain coordination, and stakeholder management with regional authorities.
Industry studies show that projects with dedicated OR oversight average 10–15 % lower cost overruns and 10–20 % shorter schedules. By preventing change‑order inflation, optimizing procurement, and enforcing quality management, we typically deliver savings that exceed our fee multiple times over. The intangible ROI—reduced stress, stronger contractor accountability, and smoother facility turnover—further protects the owner’s long‑term asset value.
