Owner’s Representation & Project Leadership

We provide proactive, hands-on leadership for owners, and expert project facilitation for design firms, turning complex projects into fulfilling, successful partnerships.

At CoPeak we obsess over crafting the absolute best project management experience. We set a higher standard built on the belief that how you build is as important as what you build. We don’t just build projects, we build trust, the heart of the CoPeak difference.

We Are Proactive Strategists

Projects are more successful, streamlined, cost-effective, and fun when you are not being hit with surprises.

Our process is intentionally front-loaded. Structured time spent guiding the project through pre-design creates a significant return on investment for your project.

By setting up the project to be well-defined and resilient from the start, your project gets momentum early and keeps it all the way through completion. No more languishing projects. No more wasted time.

We Are Team Captains

Meaningful projects are only possible through the alignment of many individuals.

Our superpower is bringing those individuals together, maximizing each person’s strengths to the benefit of the project, and getting alignment so your project succeeds.

When everyone is working towards the same goal and understands what role everyone on the team is playing, your project becomes greater than the sum of its parts.

We Are Puzzle Solvers

The most impactful projects are inherently complex. Complexity is often avoided in hopes it self-resolves. We are different. Where others run away, we lean in.

We are astute observers and expert synthesizers. We find creative pathways through complex constraints to solve challenges of any kind by always seeing the broader context, the “big picture.”

We leverage design-thinking to maximize project impact and challenge assumptions about what is possible.

Your Project Leader, Your Design Partner

For Owners

As your Owner's Representative, we are your project leader. We are your advocate, your strategist, and your manager from the earliest "what if" conversation through the day you cut the ribbon. We curate the "best-fit" team and manage the entire process to protect and maximize your vision, budget, and schedule.

For Designers

As your Project Manager or Facilitator, we are your strategic partner. We take the administrative and coordination load off your designers. We run the meetings, manage the stakeholder "chaos" (a.k.a. fun) and handle the complex communication, freeing your team to focus on their highest-value skill: creating world-class design.
