Owner's Representative Services
Since 2008, Tew & Taylor has been Palm Beach’s trusted authority in permitting, plan review, and building code inspections. We are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards and ensuring every project we work on complies fully with Florida’s Building Code. We are proud to deliver on this commitment.
​
Over the years, we’ve been brought into projects where out-of-town homeowners placed their trust in inexperienced builders—only to face costly consequences. These situations often lead to significant financial losses, delays, legal disputes, and unfinished homes. Homeowners are frequently left to deal with unpaid subcontractors, resolve lien issues, and attempt to complete construction—often stepping in as the "owner-builder" themselves.
​
One recent example involved a property on Palm Beach where a homeowner hired a builder with no proven track record. For unknown reasons, the builder abandoned the project near completion and left town. This resulted in an estimated loss of over $1,200,000 in unrecovered payments to the builder. Subcontractors, still unpaid, filed liens totaling more than $900,000. The builder failed to complete mandatory inspections, preventing the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy by the Town of Palm Beach. As a result, the home was left uninhabitable—neither livable nor sellable.
​
Tew & Taylor was brought in by the homeowner and their new construction management team to assess the damage. Our role was to identify unpermitted work, determine which portions of the build met code, and chart a path forward with a qualified, reliable builder and subcontractors to finish the project.
​
In response to cases like this, we now offer dedicated Owner’s Representative services. Our experienced Project Managers advise you through the entire build process to ensure that your hire the right builder and subcontractors who we have personally worked with over the years who we know will deliver a high-quality product and meet building code requirements.
​
The stakes in Palm Beach are simply too high to make avoidable mistakes. Let Tew & Taylor be your trusted advocate throughout the construction process.
