Scope & team
Start with clear responsibilities
Define the intended work and coordinate the designers, engineers, surveyor, and other specialists needed for your property.
Someone responsible
for following through.
At ACA, we represent the homeowner’s interests: providing an advocate, clear information, and a dedicated representative coordinating the people and decisions behind the project.
You shouldn’t have to chase every engineer, interpret every proposal, or wonder who is handling the next step.
Your ACA representative brings the architectural designers, consultants, contractor, and trades together on your behalf. We track the questions, communicate your priorities, and follow up on the items that move your project forward.

Progress & communication

Follow progress, coordinate consultant and contractor questions, and keep decisions and unresolved items visible to the homeowner.
Changes & payment requests
Review before you decide
Help examine proposed change orders and progress payment requests against the agreed scope and reported progress. You retain approval of changes and payments.
Inspections & closeout
Bring the open items to a close
Coordinate inspection scheduling, request appropriate lien-waiver documentation, follow the punch list, and track the steps toward final city approval and occupancy.
A coordinated team.
Clear roles.
ACA represents and coordinates for the homeowner. The relevant professionals provide their specialist services, and the contractor manages construction under the agreed project arrangements. The homeowner approves commitments; the city and inspectors issue the required approvals.
See the full consultant allianceA company behind
the coordination.
ACA grew from the idea that homeowners should have a company bringing the people, responsibilities and next steps together through design, permitting and construction.
That idea is at the heart of owner representation: someone following the whole process on your behalf, while each specialist carries out their agreed role.
