Contract Administration & Risk Management
Overview
Change orders, schedule claims, and scope disputes are where owners lose money on capital projects. We administer contracts from your side of the table — scrutinizing every change order for merit and pricing, maintaining documentation that protects your position, and enforcing the schedule and performance obligations your contractors agreed to.
Key Benefits
- Every change order independently reviewed for scope validity and fair pricing
- Contemporaneous documentation that protects the owner in any dispute
- Schedule obligations enforced with data-driven performance tracking
- Risks identified and mitigated before they become claims
- Single owner advocate across all contractor and consultant communications

Regulatory Compliance in Healthcare Construction: What Owners Own
Healthcare projects carry regulatory obligations no contractor can carry for the owner — licensure, life-safety code, accreditation, and state health reviews. Mapping the approvals critical path early is the owner's job.
Choosing a Delivery Method: What Owners Trade Away with CM-at-Risk, Design-Build, and Design-Bid-Build
Every delivery method reallocates risk, control, and information between owner and builder. Understanding what you give up with each — not just what you gain — is the foundation of a sound choice.
