Who We Are
Artemis Construction Management provides concierge-level project management and owner’s representation services to home/property owners through all phases of high-end residential and commercial construction projects.
The company’s president and owner, Diane Utz, Esq. is well-versed in the intricacies of large-scale construction projects with her degree in construction management, more than ten years of practical luxury construction experience, and fourteen years as a construction litigator. During a three-week trial representing a builder being sued by a homeowner, Diane realized inadequately drafted contracts and poor communication were at the core of the dispute. She saw the need for competent construction managers to fill the communication gap between the customer and contractor. Diane founded Artemis Construction Management to facilitate communication of the customer’s wants, the contractor’s ability to execute those wants, the budget, and schedule so all parties are in agreement and there is no legal fallout.
In tandem with Greer Mexic, lead interior designer and project manager who has more than fifteen years experience in her fields, Artemis Construction Management provides a full suite of owner representation, project management, and design services to suit our clients’ needs.
“Diane’s construction knowledge and legal expertise distinguish her from the competition. In my 25 years in construction I have worked with many owner’s representatives and the Artemis team rises above them all.”
What We Do
Whether Artemis Construction Management is brought in at the earliest stages of a project to advise on selection of a building site, designers, or contractor, or at a later stage to oversee construction, competent oversight and clear communication are our primary goals. Acting as our clients’ eyes and ears during the design and construction processes, Artemis Construction Management is the liaison between owners, designers, and contractors.
The immense amount of decisions that must be made when building or remodeling a property can easily overwhelm owners, even if they have previously been through the process. For those who live out of town, state, or country, matters are complicated further. Artemis Construction Management bridges the communication gap between owners, designers, and contractors by translating industry jargon, easing the decision-making process, offering advice, and clearly communicating owner decisions to protect their interests. In addition, we ensure our clients understand the implications of their decisions on cost, schedule, and execution, so there are no surprises.
Why Work With Artemis
Artemis Construction Management is distinguished from our competition because of the extensive construction, construction litigation, and design knowledge we bring to the table. This expertise provides the basis for our company protocols for maintaining clear lines of communication between owners, designers, and contractors, identifying risks and preventing potential issues during the construction process, drafting and enforcing contracts, monitoring budgets and schedules, analyzing the implications of requested changes on schedules and budgets, and keeping the project on track. Ultimately, our protocols save our clients time and money, and provide a positive building experience overall. Our concierge-level service, including full-service interior design, results in impeccable, move-in ready homes and satisfied clients.
