Firmly believing that an Owner’s Project Manager/Owner’s Representation engagement must be more than simply a typical technical consultant application or on-site Clerk-of-the-Works services, Trident assembles client driven and project specific senior level staff with a proven project delivery model geared towards that of a trusted program, business and process advisor to our clients. We are not Architects, Builders, or General Contractors. We are Owner’s Advisors / Representatives and our primary purpose is ensuring the opportunity to provide our clients with a distinctly tangible project delivery advantage by providing an array of OPM professional services for oversight, assistance and advice in needs assessment, land/building acquisition, due diligence, financial instrument procurement, entitlements, development, design, construction, and total project administrative services, targeted at managing the outcome from concept to completion.
