As a contractor it is refreshing to encounter an owner's consultant that is upfront, fair, informative, innovative, and cost conscious, all to the client's benefit. Their years of commercial construction experience translates to the Owner's Representative and Trusted Advisory role, achieving best value results to owners throughout the area. We strongly recommend Project Advocates in any commercial construction consulting role.

They have been a true advocate for the City and Police Department from the start of the project. They have facilitated tough but needed discussions on project planning, budget, and navigated political sensitivities — balancing the real needs of stakeholders while keeping City taxpayer dollars in mind. I am confident that the Project Advocates team will lead us to the finish line with exceptional facilities that our department, the City, and taxpayers are proud of.

Through the past 3 years, Project Advocates have successfully helped our projects navigate numerous unforeseen conditions. Their efforts effectively mitigated budget overages while incorporating input from multiple stakeholders. They have truly served as an extension of our City staff and have kept projects on time and under budget. I highly recommend Project Advocates as an Owner's Representative and partner for anyone looking to build a successful project.

The facility has been an outstanding success. We engaged Project Advocates as our Owner's Representative to guide us through design, construction, and occupancy processes. During every step, they led, managed, communicated, and added value to the City and our department. The comprehensive construction experience of the Project Advocates team added tremendous value in the design and engineering phases, but their biggest impact was during the construction and occupancy phases. In my forty-year career, partnering with Project Advocates was one of the best and most impactful decisions I made. Time and time again, they demonstrated why their work is valuable to the process. They truly lived up to their name and were the best advocates we could have hoped for. As a result, the City and department have a building that will serve them for generations to come.

He was very attentive, always available during the ever-changing process, and kept the County under-budget with a phenomenal result that was highly lauded by all members of the Court, the Sheriff's Office and the Smith County population at large. He's a knowledgeable man and an absolute asset to any job.

With Project Advocates by our side, they have brought cost certainty and practical solutions to every project. Having someone in the room representing the club's interest has really helped us make sure we get the most bang for the buck for our supporters and the kids we serve. Their extensive construction background helped us ask the right questions, and in several cases save us money. I strongly recommend Project Advocates enthusiastically and without reservation.

Project Advocates did the worrying for me. They handled the details that would have kept me up at night and managed the logistics and scheduling so that I did not have to coordinate, follow-up or check-in with contractors on the project team. PA took care of the daily activities and decisions that allowed for advancement of the work at a pace that stayed in line with on-time completion.

It is simply not imaginable that we would be where we are today without your guidance, advocacy and representation. Today we enjoy a beautiful new residential treatment complex and are about to occupy a fully renovated and expanded 110+ year old building. Project Advocates is a part of making a significant difference in our campus and our ability to care for and educate children.

Project Advocates is a really good truth-filter. It seems no one ever wants to be the bearer of bad news but as an owner, you want accurate information that is realistic. Project Advocates has provided that voice for us. They gave realistic answers about timelines and what things should cost.

When our donors suggested we engage an owner's representative, I didn't see the value since we already had an architect and contractor. Now, I would say, 'hire an owner's representative!' Having an advocate sitting next to you throughout the process instead of across the table proved invaluable. During both design and construction phases, Project Advocates was able to save us more money than the fees they charged.

Project Advocates has become a trusted advisor and partner since we started working together in 2020. We have connected with their team on multiple occasions and in a variety of projects that range from a small tenant improvement, to major infrastructure upgrades, up to major retail renovations. We value their efforts to maintain First Washington Realty's success in this area and look forward to our continued relationship due to the value they bring to our team.

For more than five years, they have overseen over $365M in development. We work closely with Rob and his team on all ongoing work at Midtown Crossing because of the outstanding results they bring to every project. They handle each project and issue with the highest level of professionalism possible and, most importantly, finished on time and on budget.

Project Advocates has assisted the team in budgeting, value engineering, design management and procurement. They strike a nice balance in providing owner representative services by advocating for the success of all in a very straight-forward and direct manner. I consider our relationship with Project Advocates to be strong because it is based on mutual respect and trust.

Project Advocates has become a trusted advisor and partner throughout our working relationship. Their field expertise, attention to detail, communication skills, and follow-up helped drive a successful project and strong client relationship. They always relate well to the contractors and field personnel, gaining their respect and motivation to get the job done right.

Project Advocates brings to the design and construction procurement process a sophisticated means of analysis, efficiency and thorough understanding of the client's needs. We so highly believe in their process that when it became time to expand our own offices, it was a simple decision on who we hired. I have personally even brought them into my own church to assist with a building addition.

Mr. Phil Miller and his team have been exceptional on this complex and demanding remodel and new construction project. His calm and professional demeanor is a welcome presence in an often chaotic and high-pressure atmosphere. His knowledge of analyzing bids and proposals is precise and reassuring. I offer my highest recommendations toward complex and demanding projects.

Working with Project Advocates was a very positive experience for me. Not only are they great people to work with, they also ran the project very smoothly and efficiently. I look forward to working with Project Advocates on future projects.

Project Advocates' greatest value to the project was their ability to translate our needs into tangible decisions that led to success in all areas — especially in coordinating the $13M FF&E contract, managing construction, and maintaining the budget. Creighton would not have been able to manage this aspect of the project without Project Advocates.

Beyond their incredible skill and knowledge of what they do, Project Advocates offers a compassion and respect for our church that was noticed and appreciated. They treated it like it was their own church. That was a gift for us that money could not buy.

Thank you Project Advocates! We are extremely pleased with the results of all of our campus projects. Everyone who visits the renovated space at 7320 Prospect for Rightfully Sewn is stunned by the transformation. It is a great space to showcase our sewing mission. The new manufacturing and warehouse expansion space is already being utilized with new business. Thank you.

Thank you all for a job well done. The project went so smoothly. I was pleased to report to our Board "on time and on budget."

I am pleased to offer my unequivocal recommendation for Radd and his entire team at Project Advocates. They have served as our builder's representative on two consecutive projects in Kansas City, Missouri, and their expertise and assistance have been instrumental in achieving our objectives. Our project has been particularly challenging due to the acquisition of New Market Tax Credit (NMTC) funds, which include a unique set of stipulations, regulations, and stringent requirements. Radd and Rob have effectively managed all billing in coordination with our finance team, ensuring timely payments and adherence to the additional deadlines established by our lenders. I don't believe you will find a more professional, cooperative, and client-focused team to serve as your builder's advocates.

I had the pleasure of working with Project Advocates on two recent projects in Missouri providing owner project manager services for the Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH). The first was a 745-unit rehab of the Hawthorne Apartments — a $34 million project delivered on time and on budget over 2.5 years. The second was the Deerfield Village Apartments, a $4.5 million rehab of a 60-unit community, also delivered on time and on budget. My experience with them was excellent. I found them to be very knowledgeable about the Kansas City area market. Radd, Rob, and I built an excellent relationship — both are honest, hardworking, and professional. As a testament to the success of our work together, POAH has advised us they will be using our team for two new projects in the coming year.

We worked with Project Advocates on our third and now fourth apartment community for adults with developmental disabilities, and our experience has been outstanding. Their genuine commitment to understanding how the building would be used and who it would serve ensured that every detail was thoughtfully considered to meet the needs of our residents. This dedication is a key reason we chose to work with them again on our current development under construction. Project Advocates is accessible, professional, and easy to work with. They take great care to protect the best interests of the project, the budget, and their clients.

Project Advocates — thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication to this project. I believe the end result is a tremendous success that will serve our members and the community for many years to come.

I have worked with Project Advocates on several projects over the last several years and they have been a valuable partner, assisting us with design and construction management. They are trusted advisors, asking the right questions of the design and construction teams to ensure Iowa West Foundation's investments are well spent. On the PACE project, their assistance was critical in navigating the inevitable issues that arise in any major construction project — it was completed on time and on budget. Their services are valued higher than their cost, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to you.

As a direct result of Project Advocates' efforts and the information provided, we were able to save substantial project costs that have well exceeded our expectations. They possess exemplary people skills, are very collaborative and work very well independently. The services provided by Project Advocates were instrumental in our success and the savings we realized were far greater than the cost of services.

Project Advocates' team provided leadership, management and monitored all aspects on this extraordinary large and complex project. We could not be more pleased with the working relationship established as a result of their collaborative efforts.

I wish I had Project Advocates 20 years ago when I first started! They have been great to work with and could not have done the Grand Lodge without them.

Project Advocates' experience was vital in helping us achieve the project on budget, on time, and to the quality level we were looking for. The ideas they shared and the questions they posed provided great perspective we would not have otherwise had. That perspective resulted in lower project costs through contractor negotiations and alternative solutions to design concepts. Their level of construction knowledge and experience was invaluable when it came to checking the quality of work. We have recommended their team and will continue to do so.

With a few minor changes that improved the facility's constructability and serviceability, Project Advocates was able to contract the work to a reputable builder 25% less than the previous estimates, making the project possible.

Project Advocates brings a commonsense approach to all solutions and improves the decision-making, allowing for the project to move much smoother than would be possible without their involvement.

Project Advocates' thorough understanding of all areas of construction, ability to set up and manage multiple budgets, along with managing complex schedules made them an invaluable asset to our group. They are team-oriented with excellent communication and organizational skills and have the ability to work with people at all levels. They had a great rapport with our architects, engineers, operations staff, contractors and end users.

The project stayed close to our original timeline and budget. I am not overstating it when I say we simply could not have done it without Project Advocates.

A successful project depends upon a number of factors, not the least of which has been the experience and professionalism that Radd Way and his team have brought to the table on this job.

I could not ask for a better team. Radd made my job easier for the simple fact of knowing that I could depend on him to be there, be professional and complete a project before my expected date. It's great having a relationship with Radd. Knowledgeable. Dependable. Professional.

Project Advocates has earned our trust and has become our trusted advisor on many of our projects on campus.

Project Advocates and Optimized Systems have become our valued partner in many energy savings projects. They are adding value to every project they are assisting with.

I had the pleasure of working with Project Advocates on creating the Patient Experience Platform during the Transition and Activation of the new Stanford Medical Center. Project Advocates consistently delivered on their promises with an ethical and value-driven approach. They deliver the product with true passion and an outstanding attitude, making a difference and executing on projects no matter how challenging or diverse. They are true professionals in every respect with a diverse background, a business savvy, bringing a wealth of value and critical input to any situation.

Rob Putthoff has become a trusted advisor and partner throughout our working together in the Kansas City area. His field expertise, attention to detail, communication skills, and follow-up to conclusion helped drive a successful project and strong client relationship. He always relates well to the contractors and field personnel, gaining their respect and motivation to get the job done right. We appreciate Rob's efforts.

I've had the pleasure of working with Alma Zamora on multiple projects including the St. Michael Catholic Church in Grand Prairie New Sanctuary and Fellowship Hall renovation. Alma demonstrated a very in-depth knowledge of the industry and all aspects of the construction process. On more than one occasion, Alma would suggest options we hadn't thought of before to help expedite the project and/or achieve cost savings. She was very pleasant to work with and always worked well with various trades during the project. She always kept the project moving forward toward completion as well as being sensitive to the customer needs and budget. Alma always thinks about the best interest of the client, which we really appreciate. I would trust Alma again and again on future projects and would recommend her to others.

Darrell Taylor of Project Advocates has been worth his weight in gold! He does an absolutely outstanding job of being on top of the entire project, anticipating needs, correcting problems, and communicating quickly. We certainly appreciate his ongoing work at First Frisco Global Methodist Church.

From our vision, Project Advocates came alongside and closed our knowledge gaps around construction, project management, and resource allocation. By remaining unwaveringly focused on always advocating and supporting the owner first, we gained an unmistakable advantage that allowed us to accomplish all that we did. It might sound cliché, but I genuinely believe the construction of our new campus was the success that it was because Project Advocates was involved.

Project Advocates is an extremely valuable partner. They sat on our side of the table and helped negotiate every aspect of the project that needed to be addressed. They have the expertise to ask the right questions and come up with viable options that reduce costs without limiting scope. They can evaluate the constructability and cost of design every step of the way.

Project Advocates made suggestions and provided accurate cost information for our large building committee to make good decisions. Their leadership allowed the entire team to stay collegial throughout the project.

Project Advocates' cost planning and value analysis was invaluable in our decision-making process. I would hate to think where we would be without Rob's help both in terms of cost and schedule.

Saint Andrew is in the middle of a two-phase construction project that is going to change the trajectory of our church for the next 30 years. I could not be happier with the work that Phil and his team at Project Advocates have done and are doing to guide us through this complicated process. From preconstruction planning and estimating, to managing the general contractor bid process, to construction management, Project Advocates has been a critical partner in helping us create a place that will enhance our mission for years to come.

Thank you to Jackson with Project Advocates for being there every single day, managing the job, putting out fires, and getting their hands dirty doing things that the contractors didn't do or weren't in the scope and needed to get done.

When asked by a developer in the area what I like about working with Project Advocates, I respond, "everything"! They pushed me and our whole department to be better.

Project Advocates helps us react and adjust quickly to be able to meet project objectives and client expectations. They understand where we need to be regarding cost, schedule, and performance.

With so many people involved and so many details that are part of building a new facility, there is no way I could have managed the process without Project Advocates.

Because they take the time to listen and understand our needs, Project Advocates has become a trusted advisor and a true partner. It's not only their knowledge and experience of working with the area's architectural, engineering, and construction firms that's invaluable; they also know how to communicate very effectively with our community.

Project Advocates can manage a project from inception to completion. They are effective advocates, considering various perspectives to find the best solution at any stage of the project. The trust we have developed through our working relationship with them gives us confidence from the outset that our athletic facilities will meet our needs and expectations.

Project Advocates has been an invaluable asset to the design and construction process. Their attention to detail is unmatched.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Phil Miller to construct the Ellis County Courts Building and City of Waxahachie Parking Garage. This was a very complex project with many moving parts. Phil was an essential part of the architectural and project management team to keep the project on task, on budget, and on time. I relied heavily on Phil to be my eyes and provide his professional counsel on critical construction matters. His industry expertise and tireless work ethic helped to make this project a success. I would trust Mr. Miller on future City of Waxahachie projects and would recommend him to others.

Project Advocates' ability to analyze issues, calculate real costs, and justify their projections have been remarkable. They give me great confidence in the direction we are heading and surety that we will not exceed the price we ultimately quote to our public.

We have not hired an Owner's Representative before but knew we needed the expertise on such a significant project. Project Advocates has delivered well beyond our expectations.

Even though our project was small, Project Advocates was very attentive to our needs and kept our design on budget.

This project wouldn't have happened without Project Advocates. PA's approach proved invaluable and we are grateful for their expertise and commitment to this project.

When the Heart Ministry Center started its capital project, I was nervous and excited. I was excited about how the project would help better serve our clients and nervous about all of the construction and project-related things that were new and unfamiliar to me. Having Project Advocates there to guide and advise us made a huge difference. Matt always took the time to explain things to me. It was clear throughout that he knew what he was doing and always had the Heart Ministry Center and, more importantly, our clients' best interests in mind. He was always just as excited about the project as we were. Project Advocates were absolutely great to partner with.

I consider Project Advocates family. They are my magic bullet and I would have been a wreck without them on our last project. Between Matt and the rest of the team, they know everything about everything and used that knowledge to help us save over $1 million in construction cost.

Project Advocates enabled us to fulfill a biblical tradition. It is said in Kings I that 'Solomon's Temple rose silently and peacefully;' the interpretation being that a temple cannot be where there is discord, violence, or revolt. The collaborative spirit they helped maintain among the entire team speaks to the fulfillment of that text.

Project Advocates worked with us from day one to creatively construct the RFP and to navigate a tricky design-build process. Their extensive expertise managing projects like ours as well as their relationship with contractors and subs alike were key in building consensus and heading off challenges.

With Project Advocates, we established a budget prior to the design and construction, and we have maintained the budget all the way through.

Because of Project Advocates' support, Purple Martin Apartments is no longer a vision. It is a place where adults with developmental disabilities are beginning a new chapter grounded in independence, community, and choice.

We've been truly impressed by the outstanding service provided by Project Advocates on Sheltering Tree's apartment projects for adults with developmental disabilities. Their commitment to understanding the needs of our tenants, paired with their responsiveness to our concerns, has been invaluable. Their exemplary communication skills keep us informed and confident at every stage, ensuring our goals are met with precision and care. Working with a team so dedicated to our mission has made a meaningful difference.

Project Advocates has worked with us on a variety of retail, office, and infrastructure projects throughout the Kansas City area and has done a great job on all components of the construction management process. The best part of Project Advocates is their ability to ramp up and scale down their participation in the project based on our needs. We have ever since and will continue to partner with Project Advocates.
