Review during the project
Submissions are easier to evaluate while the work is underway and the people involved can still answer questions.
Developers, Owners & Public Entities Construction Administration Services
Technical review of schedules, time requests and change pricing submitted on your project, with findings explained early.
Owners ask us to review schedules, time requests, pricing and supporting records, during the project or after it.
An owner's exposure is different in kind from a contractor's. The schedule is somebody else's document, the cost records are somebody else's records, and the owner's position depends on how well both are examined while the project is running rather than after it has finished.
Hold a technical record
Contractor and owner records provide different views of the same work. Their usefulness rests on timing, support and consistency with the rest of the record. The author’s identity alone does not settle the weight of the information.
Give reasons with each finding
Each finding states what was reviewed, what the record shows and what would change the conclusion.
