Contracting Support Services We Provide
Comprehensive construction oversight across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction — from preconstruction through project closeout.
Owner's Representation
We act as the owner's technical advocate throughout construction — reviewing contractor work, attending site meetings, and ensuring the project meets specifications, codes, and quality standards.
Contractor Bid Evaluation
Independent analysis of contractor proposals, scopes of work, and pricing. We identify gaps, exclusions, and technical risks before you sign — so you enter every contract informed and protected.
Constructability Review
Pre-construction evaluation of design documents for installation feasibility, coordination conflicts, and field practicality. We catch problems on paper before they become costly change orders on site.
Quality Control & Site Oversight
Ongoing field oversight to verify workmanship quality, code compliance, and adherence to project specifications. We attend job walks, review installations, and document findings in real time.
Change Order & Dispute Resolution
Technical evaluation of change order requests and contractor disputes. We determine whether additional costs are justified, identify responsible parties, and provide documented recommendations.
Post-Construction Remediation
When construction defects surface after occupancy, we diagnose the root cause, document deficiencies, and coordinate corrective strategies — whether for direct resolution or litigation support.
Bridging the Gap Between Contractors and Clients
Too often, construction owners are left in the dark when it comes to technical issues, delays, or disputes. We help you close that gap with expert guidance across mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and general construction disciplines.
From HVAC misinstallations and plumbing design flaws to post-occupancy system issues, LaRovere Consulting delivers oversight that protects your timeline, your budget, and your building.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an owner's representative in construction?
An owner's representative is an independent consultant who advocates for the property owner throughout a construction project. We review contractor work, attend site meetings, evaluate change orders, and ensure the project meets quality, code, and budget standards — without the bias of a contractor or designer.
Do you evaluate contractor bids and proposals?
Yes. We provide independent technical analysis of contractor proposals, scopes of work, and pricing. We identify gaps, exclusions, unrealistic timelines, and technical risks so owners can make informed decisions before signing contracts.
Can you help with construction defect disputes after a project is complete?
Yes. Our post-construction remediation consulting includes root cause analysis of defects, documentation of deficiencies, damage quantification, and coordination of corrective strategies. Our findings are prepared to support both direct resolution and litigation if needed.
What types of construction projects do you oversee?
We provide oversight for commercial, institutional, and multi-family residential projects involving HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction. This includes new construction, tenant improvements, renovations, and system replacements — nationwide.
How is LaRovere different from a typical construction manager?
Unlike a construction manager who may have contractual ties to the general contractor, we are fully independent. Our loyalty is exclusively to the owner. We also bring 39+ years of hands-on contracting and forensic engineering experience, which means we catch issues that pure managers often miss.
