Services
Start with a single visit, or retain us from first bid to final walk-through.
An independent look at your site, when you need it once.
An independent walk-through of your site. We document visible progress, current conditions and potential issues, and deliver a photo report.
Regular site checks tracked against your milestones.
Scheduled site checks that track the work against your agreed milestones, schedule and quality standards, so problems surface while they are still small.
A dedicated representative, from first bid to close-out.
A dedicated representative from start to finish. We manage the contractors on your behalf, with the same close attention on your budget as on your build.
Unity provides owner-side oversight and reporting. It does not replace inspections or certifications by licensed engineers or architects, or a contractor's responsibility for the quality of their work.
Our approach
A general contractor manages construction for profit. An Owner's Representative manages it for you.
Complete project control
Many owners hire a construction manager and a separate finance professional, and nobody sees the whole picture. That gap is where budgets are lost. Unity closes it.
Budgets, forecasts and cost tracking kept current, so you always know where the money stands.
Every change is reviewed and justified before you agree to pay for it.
AIA requisitions, pay applications and loan draws checked against the work actually done.
One set of numbers and photos in plain language, so every decision is an informed one.
Process
A short call to understand what you are building, where, and where you are in the process.
A single site visit, ongoing monitoring, or full Owner's Representation, scoped to the project.
We visit, document and report back with photos and plain-language updates.
You see what is really happening, so every decision and payment is an informed one.
Principal
NELCOL PHILIP brings certified expertise in construction management, owner representation, and financial oversight to the Grenada market. With experience spanning both Caribbean and U.S. projects, we understand the unique challenges of island logistics, contractor coordination, and budget management in a region where supply chain disruptions and labor availability can significantly impact project outcomes.
I have built my practice on the principle that owners deserve an advocate—a professional who works exclusively for their interests, not for contractor profit margins. My certification and track record demonstrate a commitment to delivering projects on time, on budget, and to the highest quality standards.
FAQ
Still unsure which level of oversight fits? Book a consultation and we will talk it through.
Through scheduled site visits with dated photographs and written progress reports. We also review costs and payment requests, so you can make decisions without being on site.
A contractor builds the project and is paid to deliver it. An owner's representative works only for the owner: reviewing progress, costs, change orders and reporting, with no stake in the contractor's profit.
We compare payment requests against the contract and the work observed on site, and review each change order for scope and cost before you approve it. The decision always stays with you.
Photo documentation of progress, a written summary of current conditions, any issues we have flagged, and recommended next steps.
Ideally before contractors are selected and contracts are signed. We can also step in mid-project if you have concerns about cost, progress or quality.
Fees depend on the size and location of the project and the level of oversight you need. Book a consultation and we will provide a written scope and quote.
