Today's construction environment can be defined by one word - risk

Managing Contract Schedules

Construction Risk Consultants operates out of Boston, Massachusetts. Our services are focused on developing and managing contract schedules to complete the work on time and within budget. When delays occur, we quickly identify them and develop recovery plans to eliminate unanticipated costs associated with disruptions and/or acceleration.

Forensic Delay Analysis

When delays occur, we analyze project records relying on contract schedules and subsequent progress updates we have developed. We apportion delay and support recommendations for time entitlement and equitable adjustments.

We have offered these services in support of contractors, owners, deign and engineering firms, both on public and private projects, . We offer our services throughout the United States. Due to our repeated success, our clients have trusted us with their most complex assignments and have taken us around the world and as far east as Asia.

We focus our services on identifying and assigning a dollar value to potetnial risk items. We support your operations to manage progress of the work anticipating and making recommendations to reduce risk and contain costs.

Today's Challenges

The global nature of many of today's projects and increasing complexity can often lead to struggles in maintaining project schedules. One of the most common elements of waste on a project is wasted time. Schedule delays result in cost overruns and unsatisfied customers.

Anticipating Risk

Construction involves risk. Risk may include schedule and cost overruns, excessive change orders, design errors and omissions, lack of coordination, differing site conditions, false claims, disputes and contract terminations.

Anticpating the risk involved and developing detailed management plans can often save projects from potential failures. Recent estimates put construction litigation costs in the hundreds of billions of dollars.

Construction Risk Consultants have successfully assisted clients across the United States and Asia through an enhanced understanding of facts and technical issues to develop focused solutions most appropriate to their specific needs.

Our support services often result in an increase to our clients workload and lower costs.

Delay & Disruption Claims

Construction Risk Consultants supports firms like yours with CPM Scheduling and project management techniques that bring strong new perspective to prevent delay and disruptions from occuring in the first place. We bring the perspective of hindsight, gained through analyzing and identifying the circumstances and causes behind thousands of delay and disruption claims. We skillfully translate this hindsight to foresight and apply it to the specifics of your project.

Claims Prevention

We are construction claims experts, and have provided our services on a wide variety of construction projects, including airports; roadway and bridges; convention centers; hospital and health care projects; hotels; laboratories; libraries; commercial projects; schools; stadiums and arenas; tunnels; water and waste water treatment plants; oil refineries and nuclear power plants.

You know - and we know - that, in construction, surprises lurk around every corner. We help you see around those corners. The savings to you in anticipating and reducing disruptions to your operations can be significant.

Wasted Capital Dollars

Companies spend and ultimately waste significant amount of money addressing shortfalls in engineering and materials in construction.

Developing the tools necessary to anticipate, identify and manage risk items put project teams a step closer to meeting budgets and schedule targets.

Ignoring problems will only result in poor or incorrect planning and preparation, requiring rework or overtime in construction.

We have successfully resolved complex multi-million dollar disputes throughout the United States in matters invloving delay and acceleration claims; differing site conditions; breach of contract; defecient and incomplete design; increased construction costs; lost profits; consequential damages; delays due to issuance of excessive requests for information (RFIs) and excessive change orders; owner interference; delays due to other trade contractors and delays due to poor management and interference by the construction manager.
