Owner’s duty to acquire regulatory requirements for permit

11/24/2020 Owner’s duty to acquire regulatory requirements for permit

OWNER’S DUTY TO ACQUIRE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS FOR PERMIT

Ultimately, it is the owner’s responsibility to acquire the right to build upon his or her property, and permitting and regulatory (zoning) approvals are the means used by regulatory bodies (State/County/Municipalities) to justify and control development. Sorting through these requirements can quickly become a time consuming and difficult to understand maze for an owner.

Therefore, owners typically solicit services of local land planners and design professionals when commencing a project, as local knowledge is key. Although each consultant can achieve outcomes for regulatory approval, problems can arise when there are zoning changes and (citizen) challenges during course of design, requiring one or the other to “go back to the drawing board”. Without proper coordination and communication between the design professionals and regulatory bodies, it is not uncommon to see projects scrapped, or completely redesigned after months (and sometimes years) of review.

Using an owner’s representative streamlines this process by assisting with coordination and communication between the design consultants and regulatory bodies. Design professionals need answers from these regulatory bodies as to restrictions for the project, and inquiries can be delayed or difficult to obtain. This is also when differing opinions or interpretations can conflict, especially when deciding whether design or performance takes precedence. Nearly every owner we’ve met typically wants maximum use of the land, which can be strenuous when design professionals work from differing perspectives.

As owner’s representative, we help research regulatory parameters and coordinate with design professionals and potential local contractors. Furthermore, we strive to maintain open communication and establish goals and responsibilities with the consultants and regulatory bodies to assist in mitigating delays.

Set performance goals for ALL PARTIES in contract

 

WESLEY MANAGEMENT COMPANYJupiter, FL

11/10/2020 Set performance goals for ALL PARTIES in contract

SET PERFORMANCE GOALS FOR ALL PARTIES IN CONTRACT

Setting expectations from the beginning is the best way to ensure a project is successful. Construction involves key metrics such as specifications and deadlines, however project administration and payment are just as important to achieve these goals, and must be clearly understood in the contract. Untimely administration by consultants, or delayed payments by owner, can cause ripple effects 2 & 3 subcontracting tiers downstream of the contractor, directly affecting overall performance and outcome.

We have seen projects suffer needless delays, and a few lost to lenders, stemming from what (some would say after the fact) were insignificant administration or pay disputes. No matter how well an owner believes a contract is ironclad regarding contractor performance, the idiom “you can’t get blood from a turnip” applies when withholding payment.

Consider providing clear metrics or deadlines as goals for ALL TO ACHIEVE, and not view such from a penalization perspective. Each party needs to understand they are a stakeholder, and ALL PARTIES are responsible to meet these goals. An owner’s representative can help the owner provide third party perspective, review payment requests, confirm & approve completed work, and acquire lien waivers, to ensure a better outcome for the owner.
