At Laura U Design Collective, we know that selecting the perfect property for a new build or an existing home for renovation is foundational. As your Owner’s Representative, we stand by your side—guiding you through every step of the property evaluation for:
Whether you are exploring multiple properties or evaluating the feasibility of a specific site or home, we’re here to ensure your vision becomes a reality.
Our team will collaborate with your realtor to visit residential properties you might purchase. We will tour the home you are considering, evaluate its condition, and assess the overall site—providing a professional opinion on renovation costs, timelines, and feasibility.
Whether you are searching for a new primary residence, a vacation home, or an investment property, our team understands the importance of ROI. As a result of our findings, we will clearly state whether a home is worth the investment or not suitable for renovation.
If both you and the property will benefit from a remodel, our team will guide you through the renovation process. We will help you build your dream team of architects, builders, and skilled tradespeople before collaborating with you on the interior design.
We will help you navigate an increasingly complex real estate market to find properties that align with your objectives—providing insights into market trends, potential returns, and long-term benefits. Your owner’s rep will work alongside your realtor to maximize their search efforts and evaluate the potential of each property.
We will also conduct necessary due diligence. From zoning laws to environmental assessments, we will ensure that every aspect of your potential property is thoroughly evaluated.
Through our comprehensive feasibility studies, we will ensure you have a full picture of your chosen property’s potential. Feasibility studies are comprehensive evaluations conducted to determine the viability of a property for renovation or new construction. In the context of property and home selection, feasibility studies involve the following.
To execute these studies, we will either coordinate with your chosen builder or introduce you to one with whom we have worked successfully. Together, we will conduct cost analyses, determine reasonable timelines, and anticipate challenges your project might present.
You will benefit from our expert advice on property viability, which helps you make informed decisions that align with your strategic goals.
Creating a stunning custom home within budget and on schedule requires a top-notch project team of designers, builders, engineers, craftsmen, and specialized tradespeople. While you can certainly sift through bids and select team members on your own, we offer an integrated approach that takes the pressure off our clients.
As part of our Owner’s Representation service, we source builders, contractors, landscape architects, and other key contributors before you begin. A top-tier team curated and coordinated by industry experts promises project cohesion and strict adherence to your vision, budget, timeline, and unique needs.

Why Choose Us?
At Laura U Design Collective, our dedicated team of experts brings over 15 years of experience in design and construction administration. We pride ourselves on our:
An owner’s representative is hired by a project owner before a renovation or construction project begins. Sometimes erroneously referred to as a construction or project manager, an owner’s rep occupies a more holistic role. An owner’s representative serves as a liaison between the property owner and the various parties involved in a construction or renovation project. They ensure the project stays on track, on budget, and meets the owner’s expectations.
Construction managers focus specifically on managing on-site construction activities—ensuring the work adheres to plans and quality standards. Project managers oversee the entire project—coordinating planning, execution, and completion to ensure it meets its objectives. An Owner’s Representative performs the most holistic role of these three. We act as your advocate—providing strategic guidance, coordinating your team, and ensuring your building or facility project aligns with your vision, budget, and goals.
We collaborate with your Realtor to visit potential properties, evaluate their condition, and assess the overall site. We provide professional opinions on renovation costs, timelines, and feasibility—ensuring the properties align with your vision and investment goals.
Hiring an Owner’s Representative can save you time, reduce stress, and ensure your project is executed smoothly. We bring expertise in project management, construction, and design—helping to avoid costly mistakes and delays.
We conduct regular site visits, monitor the work of contractors and subcontractors, and ensure all work meets our team’s sky-high quality standards while complying with building codes. From the very first visits to the build phase of construction projects to the final inspections after executing our interior design, we keep a close eye on quality.
Our personalized approach, comprehensive support, and proven track record set us apart. We tailor our services to meet your specific needs and provide end-to-end support from initial property search to project completion.
If a property isn’t worth the investment, we’ll clearly communicate our findings and help you find a more suitable option that aligns with your vision and goals.
