We don’t just manage projects. We install leadership systems that align decisions, protect capital, and keep execution predictable from preconstruction through closeout
A field-tested leadership system for owners who want control, clarity, and predictable outcomes in construction — without becoming technical experts or micromanagers.
High-stakes construction doesn’t fail from lack of effort. It fails from fragmented teams, misaligned incentives, and unclear leadership structure.
The Owner’s Method™ distills the operating frameworks behind Owner Strategic Leadership™ into practical systems you can actually use — to make better decisions, control risk, align teams, and lead projects with confidence.
This is not a theory book. It’s a field-built method drawn from real capital programs, real constraints, and real execution environments — translated into tools and decision models you can apply immediately.
Built from real projects — not classroom theory — The Owner’s Method™ gives owners and project leaders the exact systems and decision frameworks used on complex capital programs to lead with clarity and control.
Brandon Torrellas is the creator of Owner Strategic Leadership™ and the ConstructionSimplified™ operating framework. His work focuses on installing owner-side leadership, financial control, and execution structure across complex capital projects, programs, and portfolios.
His background spans contractor operations, owner’s representation, federal quality control programs, commercial inspection, and formal project and business analysis disciplines — along with graduate study in human decision and leadership systems, and advanced martial arts teaching experience centered on discipline, structured training, and performance under pressure — informing a systems-level approach to owner-side leadership.
For more than 15 years, he has led and governed projects and programs across private development, education, institutional, retail, and luxury sectors — representing over $1B in managed construction value across national portfolios.
The Owner’s Method™ was developed from this field experience — translating what actually works in high-stakes project environments into practical systems owners can apply directly.
He does not approach projects as coordination exercises, but as leadership systems that must be structured, enforced, and measured to protect capital and outcomes.
Before picking up The Owner’s Method™, most readers want to know whether it fits their project type, experience level, and role. These are the most common questions we receive from owners, developers, and project leaders considering the book and upcoming OSL-C™ training.
Yes. The framework applies across commercial, institutional, portfolio, and private projects. The examples span multiple sectors, but the core systems — scope control, financial governance, procurement discipline, and leadership structure — translate across project types and sizes.
No. The book is written specifically for owners and decision-makers who are not full-time construction professionals. It translates technical project dynamics into practical leadership and decision frameworks you can apply without becoming a technical expert.
Yes. The Owner’s Method™ helps owners lead their team more effectively. It strengthens oversight, improves decision clarity, and aligns consultants and contractors around measurable owner priorities — without replacing their roles.
The method is field-built. It is drawn from real capital programs, active portfolios, and live project controls — not classroom models. The tools and frameworks come directly from applied Owner Strategic Leadership™ work across complex projects.
OSL-C™ (Owner Strategic Leadership Certification) is the structured training and implementation program built on the same frameworks introduced in the book. It expands the method into guided application, templates, and operating systems. OSL-C™ is currently in development and will be released soon.
OSL-C™ is the formal training and certification program built on the same field-tested frameworks behind Owner Strategic Leadership™ and The Owner’s Method™. It is designed for owners, developers, and serious project leaders who want guided implementation — not just theory.
This program converts the method into applied operating systems, decision models, and control tools used in live capital projects.
ConstructionSimplified™ provides owner’s representation and full-service project management—but our value is created at a higher level. We operate through Owner Strategic Leadership™: a disciplined leadership system that governs decisions upstream, aligns incentives, and enforces accountability across the entire project lifecycle. Project management becomes the execution engine—while strategic leadership creates the advantage.
