Independent representation for commercial owners and tenants, from preconstruction through closeout—delivering experienced guidance with genuine integrity.
Most of the people on a construction project are paid to build it. Heartpine is paid for one thing only — protecting your interests, from budget to schedule to the fine print of every change order.
That's the whole model. No self-performed work and no subcontractor relationships to manage — just a second set of eyes that reports directly to you, working alongside your design and construction team to keep the project moving.
Heartpine does not hold GMP contracts, does not self-perform, and does not take a cut of the trade buyout. The fee is the fee — set before ground is broken, defended in writing.
Engagements are scoped to the phase — and the risk — that matters most to your project.
Independent review of early estimates, market pricing, and program assumptions before capital is committed.
Architect and design team selection, interview strategy, and scope coordination — with constructability and feasibility input so design intent translates into buildable, budget-aligned documents.
RFP structuring, interview strategy, and scoring criteria that surface the right delivery partner — not just the lowest number.
Guidance on the right contract structure and delivery approach — matched to your risk tolerance and timeline.
Tracking municipal approvals and utility coordination so the schedule isn't quietly slipping before mobilization.
Monthly draw review, cost-to-complete tracking, and early warning on drift before it becomes a change order fight.
Line-by-line review of pay applications and change orders against the contract, keeping approvals moving on schedule.
Regular site walks, RFI and submittal tracking, and a direct line between field conditions and ownership.
Running the owner-architect-contractor rhythm so decisions get made and documented, not lost in email.
Verifying systems are tested and spaces are truly ready — before final payment is released.
O&M manuals, warranty logs, and as-builts organized and delivered in a form your facilities team can actually use.
Every engagement is priced up front and in writing, with the rate and structure fixed before work begins. See the full fee reference →
A no-cost conversation about your project, timeline, and where owner's or tenant's rep coverage would help most.
A written proposal naming the phase, deliverables, and fee model — reviewed together before anything is signed.
Introductions to your design and construction teams, and a shared reporting rhythm for the life of the project.
Tell me about the project — size, budget, current phase or project status, and what's keeping you up at night — and I'll follow up with next steps.
