Owner’s Representation
We provide expert owner’s representation in Toronto and across the GTA. The management your construction project needs can be handled by our team. Here at Myhal Construction, we offer owner’s representation and construction project management for owners and developers who want senior people on their side of the table. All the while, we hold no construction contract and carry no competing interests, so the advice you get serves one party. We know that construction is where a development’s value is made or lost. We want to give you a result you can count on, and we make sure the project is run so that it holds.
Timely decisions
We know the importance of getting a decision made in a prompt and timely manner. A construction project generates dozens of them a week, and the ones that wait are the ones that cost money. Our team organizes the facts, challenges the assumptions and gives you a practical recommendation before the project moves on. All the while, you get back the hours a project would otherwise take from your day.
Type of project
No matter what type of project you have, you will be able to count on our team. We have represented owners through office towers, master-planned communities, retail in live environments and complex industrial buildings, and each one changes what needs watching. A $7 million fit-up, a $150 million revitalization or a $3 billion community can all be handled by our team.
Representation experience
The people at Myhal Construction have the right kind of training and experience. We have been leading construction in Toronto for more than twenty years, built at PCL Constructors and Oxford Properties, with over $3 billion delivered. We know the proper way to run a project because we have run them from every seat: estimator, site lead, project manager and owner.
Reporting and documentation
We get the work done, and then we give you documentation you can act on. Cost to date, committed cost, forecast to complete, contingency remaining and the schedule those numbers assume, every month, in a format your board and your lender can read. You will always know where your project stands, including when the news isn’t good.
The whole job, or the parts you need.
Budget & schedule validation
Independent review of the plan before construction starts, so you commit to numbers that are real.
Procurement & contracts
The right consultants and contractors, on terms structured around your interests.
Design management
Architects and engineers kept aligned to your budget, program and intent through every stage.
Cost & change control
Every claim, change and invoice reviewed before it reaches your account, and challenged when it should be.
Schedule & risk oversight
Milestones tracked, slippage flagged early, and risks managed before they become costs.
Reporting
Clear, decision-ready reporting on where the project actually stands. Good news or not.
Our Toronto owner’s representation process. Three steps, no surprises.
Assess the project
You shouldn’t assume your project needs a full-time owner’s representative until we have looked at it. We review the budget, the schedule, the contracts and the team, and we tell you plainly where the risk actually sits.
Scale the engagement to the decision in front of you
The average consultancy sells the biggest engagement it can. At Myhal, we don’t want owners paying for representation they don’t need. Sometimes one estimate or one review is the whole job. Sometimes it is the whole project.
Call us and we get to work
Toronto owners don’t have time to run a construction project on top of the business that pays for it. You want the building delivered the way it was promised. We make it easy to start by coming to your office or your site and getting into the file the same week.
Owner’s representation in Toronto, ON. What the market asks of an owner right now.
Toronto is the largest construction market in Canada and the one we know best. The Toronto CMA led the country in multi-unit and office permit values through 2025, and the transit map is being redrawn around Line 5 Eglinton, the Finch West LRT, the Ontario Line and the Scarborough Subway Extension. Since June 26, 2025 the City’s non-residential development charge has been $805.64 per square metre of ground-floor area, with industrial uses exempt (City of Toronto, development charge rates), and Toronto Green Standard Version 4 has applied to new planning applications received since May 1, 2022 (City of Toronto, Toronto Green Standard).
None of that is a reason not to build. All of it is a reason to have someone on your side who has built here before: the TD Centre campus, CityPlace, Scarborough Junction, the Crosstown corridor and a dozen downtown office revitalizations.

Common questions.
What does an owner’s representative do?
An owner’s representative manages a construction project on the owner’s behalf: consultants, contractors, contracts, budget and schedule, from early planning through handover. We cover the role in detail in this guide.
Is an owner’s rep worth it on a smaller project?
It depends on whether you have someone in-house who has run a construction contract. On a small fit-out with an experienced contractor and a design team administering the contract, a defined review at the right moment may be all you need. Where nobody on your side has done this before, more of the job is worth covering. See when to bring in an owner’s rep.
How is an owner’s rep different from a construction manager?
The construction manager builds the project; the owner’s representative makes sure it’s built the way the owner needs. See owner’s rep or construction manager.
When should I hire one?
Ideally during preconstruction, while decisions about budget, scope and team are still open. That’s when representation adds the most value. See when to bring in an owner’s rep.
What does an owner’s representative cost in Toronto?
Fees are usually hourly, fixed or monthly, scaled to the project and the stage, and what an owner’s representative costs in Ontario sets out how they’re built. Call 647-932-2902 for a number specific to your project.
Do you work outside Toronto?
Yes. We’re based in Toronto and work across the GTA, Ontario and Canada. See where we work.
