Construction Management Services
What Is Construction Management?
Construction management is the comprehensive coordination and oversight of a building or renovation project on behalf of the homeowner. It’s more than simply monitoring progress—it’s about making sure every phase of the job is completed correctly, efficiently, and to the client’s expectations. A construction manager serves as the owner’s advocate, managing communication between architects, contractors, trades, and suppliers while keeping an eye on budget, timeline, and quality.
At Salt & Dune, we specialize in high-end residential construction management rooted in over 15 years of hands-on experience. We don’t just understand the construction process—we’ve lived it. From pre-construction planning and permitting to punch lists and final walkthroughs, we take ownership of the details so you don’t have to. Our goal is to reduce stress, prevent costly mistakes, and ensure that the finished product reflects the vision you started with. Whether you're building from the ground up or remodeling a single room, we offer the insight, structure, and accountability your project deserves.

Owners Representation
What Is an Owner’s Representative—and What Can They Do for You?
An Owner’s Representative (or “Owner’s Rep”) is your dedicated advocate during a construction or renovation project. Their job is to represent you—not the architect, not the contractor, but your best interest at every step. From early planning through final punch list, an Owner’s Rep acts as your expert guide, managing the process, solving problems, and keeping your budget, timeline, and vision on track.
For busy homeowners or clients managing a second property, this role is essential. Your Owner’s Rep handles the day-to-day communication with architects, builders, and trades, attends job site meetings, reviews billing and change orders, and ensures that the work being done reflects your expectations—not just what's easiest or cheapest.
At Salt & Dune, our 15+ years of experience in high-end residential construction means we know what to look for, what questions to ask, and how to protect your investment without compromise. Whether you're out of town or just want a professional in your corner, having an Owner’s Rep means less stress, fewer surprises, and a much smoother experience from start to finish.
