Cadiz and Harrison County are positioned at the center of significant energy infrastructure investment. The Harrison Energy Centre, a combined-cycle power project in the Harrison County Industrial Park, represents capital investment of more than $900 million. The facility, developed by Emberclear through Harrison Power, will provide enough electricity to power a million homes and is envisaged to produce power from hydrogen with associated production and storage infrastructure.
Harrison County was identified for the federal hydrogen hub initiative, with the U.S. Department of Energy allocating $925 million for Ohio hydrogen hubs. The hub will use infrastructure including buildings and pipelines for hydrogen production, storage, and transport. The Columbus-Pittsburgh corridor project to expand State Route 22 to four lanes between Cadiz and Hopedale is fully funded. According to the Community Improvement Corporation, Harrison County's economic draw includes large parcels of land under single ownership suited for major development.
Whether you're developing energy infrastructure, expanding industrial operations to serve the energy sector, or constructing commercial property to support regional growth, Cadiz projects benefit from experienced oversight. An independent Owner's Representative ensures that major investment activity doesn't squeeze your project's access to contractor resources and attention.
Every construction project involves three core parties: the Architect, focused on design and code compliance; the General Contractor, focused on means, methods, and their own profitability; and the Owner, who funds everything but often lacks technical expertise to protect their investment. This creates the Leadership Vacuum where no one is truly accountable for the owner's budget and schedule.
DeVore Consulting fills this vacuum. We work exclusively for you, never holding trade contracts or self-performing work. Our role is to translate your business objectives into construction outcomes, providing a single point of accountability.
Active energy investment markets reward disciplined execution. Our methodology delivers both.
We never hold trade contracts. This ensures our advice is purely objective. When we recommend rejecting a change order, it's because it serves your interest.
We specialize in projects from $500K to $50M. While major energy projects capture hundreds of millions in investment, your mid-market project receives the same professional oversight.
We bring MBA-level focus to budget management. We verify that pay applications reflect work completed and analyze change orders to separate legitimate costs from contractor overreach.
Our expertise spans the project types serving Harrison County's energy-driven economy:
Facilities supporting power generation, hydrogen production, and energy sector operations.
New construction and expansion for manufacturers serving energy and regional markets.
Professional and commercial space serving the expanding workforce.
Facilities supporting major infrastructure projects and regional supply chains.
We serve communities throughout Eastern Ohio including Cambridge, Wheeling, and New Philadelphia.
The single most expensive mistake owners make is waiting until construction begins to hire an advocate. By the time a shovel hits the ground, 80% of your project's costs are already locked in.
The ideal time to engage DeVore Consulting is during pre-construction planning. We provide Fatal Flaw Analysis investigating infrastructure capacity and site conditions before you commit.
Schedule a consultation to ensure your Cadiz project starts on solid footing.
We provide comprehensive project oversight for business owners and developers who need expert guidance through the construction process. With 20+ years overseeing the design and construction of residential and commercial, we know where problems hide and how to prevent them.
These FAQs are a starting point, but your project has specific goals, risks, and financial stakes. My role is to be your trusted guide.I protect your time and money by simplifying the process, providing experienced oversight, and preventing costly mistakes before they happen.

Of course. We'll provide you with all the free advice you can handle. But to get started formally, we'll have to make sure our services align with you needs. We'll get to know your project aspirations and put together a proposal. Until we have an agreement no payment is expected.

Absolutely. While we add the most value by being involved from pre-construction through closeout , we can tailor our services to your specific needs.

Yes. While some firms only focus on large institutional projects, we specialize in guiding small business owners and first-time developers. The need for an owner's rep depends more on your project's complexity than its size. A complex $2M restaurant renovation often has more risk than a simple $5M warehouse. We can help you assess if professional oversight makes financial sense for your specific project .
Depending on scope, fees typically range from 0.5% to 1% of the total construction cost, depending on the project's complexity, timeline, and the specific scope of services you need . Studies have shown this investment typically saves clients 3-5% on total construction costs through rigorous contractor management, change order review, and problem prevention, meaning the service more than pays for itself.
