Our services help you to:
  • Assure pricing uniformity throughout
  • Substantially impact profits on change orders
  • Free up construction managers, project managers and superintendents to perform the principal work of the project by not having to price or negotiate change orders
  • Assure better documentation for change orders and claims because the consultant requires full and proper documentation up front from field personnel and knows from experience just which documents are required
  • Assure consistency and professionalism because the consultant is not emotionally involved in the project and these emotions are not carried over into the pricing and the negotiations
  • Achieve a higher "win-win" percentage, because the more experienced and focused consultant is not "fooled" during negotiations.
