Owner’s Representative in Richmond Hill, ON
Richmond Hill Owner’s Representation
Many owners who call us from Richmond Hill are commissioning a building for the first time: a company outgrowing leased space in Beaver Creek or a congregation with land on Bayview. They know what the building has to do. What they need is someone who has run this process before and answers to them alone.
Myhal Construction plays that role. We carry no construction contract and take no fee from the trades, so every recommendation is made in your interest. Your point of contact from first budget to move-in is Kyle Parry, with more than twenty years at PCL Constructors and Oxford Properties behind him.
Construction Project Management in Richmond Hill, ON
Construction project management is what keeps a Richmond Hill project whole. We set the budget and schedule, manage the consultants, run the tender, administer the contract, certify payment, control changes and report to you and your lender in plain language.
In Richmond Hill, the projects we take on include:
- Office, flex and light-industrial buildings in the Beaver Creek and Headford business parks
- Mid-rise and high-rise residential on Yonge Street and around the future Bridge and High Tech subway stations
- Places of worship, private schools and community buildings
- Healthcare, long-term care and medical office buildings
- Owner-occupied headquarters for companies leaving leased space
Our Services in Richmond Hill. Every service, one senior team.
A first building rarely needs every service at once. We will tell you which of these five your Richmond Hill project actually calls for.
Owner’s representation
Independent, senior representation for Richmond Hill owners, from the first architect meeting to the day you take the keys.
Owner’s representation →Construction project management
The day-to-day running of your Richmond Hill project: consultants, tender, contract, changes, payment and a weekly report written for an owner.
Construction project management →Development management
For Richmond Hill landowners and institutions without a development arm: feasibility, approvals under the new zoning by-law, financing and delivery.
Development management →Construction consulting & estimating
An independent estimate, priced the way a contractor prices a job, so your first Richmond Hill budget is one your board and bank can rely on.
Construction consulting & estimating →Preconstruction planning
The brief, budget, schedule and delivery method settled before design starts, where nearly every later problem on a first project is prevented or planted.
Preconstruction planning →Construction Problems in Richmond Hill, ON. What to do if this is the first building you have commissioned
Commissioning a building once is harder than doing it for a living, because every decision arrives for the first time. Here is how to start well in Richmond Hill.
Write down what the building has to do
Before you talk to an architect, set out the space you need, what it must do, what you can spend and when you have to be in. That one page becomes the brief every consultant is measured against.
Get an honest number before you get attached
A pro forma built on a rule of thumb is where most first projects go wrong. Have the budget built the way a contractor would, with soft costs, development charges, contingency and escalation shown separately, and test the design against it early.
Choose the delivery method on purpose
Design-bid-build, construction management and design-build each shift risk and cost in a different direction. The right one depends on how firm your scope is and how much control you want.
Bring in representation
You do not need to build a construction department to deliver one building. Call 647-932-2902 and we will walk you through the process, tell you where the real risks sit and take the day-to-day management off your desk.
Under Bill 17, development charges owed to the City of Richmond Hill and York Region can now be paid at occupancy rather than at building permit. That moves a large cheque later in a first project’s cash flow, and a budget built before the change may carry the old assumption.
Richmond Hill, Ontario Construction Project Management
Richmond Hill sits in the middle of York Region, about 40 minutes from our Toronto office, with 4,765 businesses and 77,000 employees in the 2025 York Region Employment Survey. Most of that employment is in the business parks along Highway 404, and Beaver Creek, the largest at 614 acres, has one vacant acre left, so the next generation of office and industrial work here is expansion and redevelopment rather than greenfield construction.
The Yonge North Subway Extension will bring Line 1 to Richmond Hill Centre through five new stations, including Bridge and High Tech; the tunnel launch shaft was finished in July 2026 and the province is targeting 2030. Around High Tech station, Infrastructure Ontario and the City are planning a 17.2-hectare transit-oriented community under the 2023 Richmond Hill Centre Secondary Plan. Mackenzie Health has said Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital will need to expand.
Council passed the City’s first comprehensive zoning by-law, 93-25, in September 2025, and the Ontario Land Tribunal gave it partial approval in July 2026. The updated Official Plan, planning to 2041, went to a special Council meeting on July 7, 2026, and York Region’s development charges fell for every class of development on May 21, 2026. For a first-time owner that is a lot of moving parts, and keeping them from becoming your problem is our job.

Questions owners ask us about building in Richmond Hill.
We have never built anything before. Is that a problem?
No, it is the most common starting point for our Richmond Hill clients. We explain each step before it arrives and make sure every decision reaches you with what you need to make it.
How much does an owner’s representative cost in Richmond Hill?
A modest percentage of construction value or a fixed monthly fee, scaled to how much of the project you want us to run. On a first building it is usually recovered in the mistakes it prevents. Call 647-932-2902 for a real figure.
Have you delivered a project in Richmond Hill itself?
Not yet under the Myhal name. Our experience comes from PCL Constructors and Oxford Properties, on work such as 402 West Georgia, Bellwoods House and Riverbend Business Park, and the same approach comes with us to Richmond Hill.
