A subcontractor priced minor partition layout changes at $80K using flat labor assumptions. By analyzing actual material impacts and applying realistic productivity rates, we reduced the change order to $20K, ensuring the owner paid only for the true scope.

A contractor submitted a large change order for HVAC components already included in the base scope. By referencing original design documents and submittals, we reduced the request from several hundred thousand dollars to under $20K, avoiding unnecessary costs.

A $50K change order seemed reasonable until a quantity review revealed missed scope credits. After recalculating, the change became a $110K credit, saving the owner $160K.

A subcontractor requested 100 cubic yards of added concrete, but our detailed review revealed the quantity was unjustified. By verifying scope and entitlement, we significantly reduced the change order and protected our client from unnecessary costs.

Delays led to extended general conditions claims. Our team analyzed schedules, causes, contracts, and costs, helping the client validate claims, negotiate fair settlements, and save significantly while keeping the project on track.

Labor is 30–40% of construction costs, yet often unchecked. Verifying labor rates, including wages, benefits, insurance, taxes, can cut costs by 10%. On a $50M project, that’s up to $200K saved. Trust matters, but transparency ensures you're paying what's fair.

Choosing a contractor goes beyond fees, as owners seek trusted partners. While fees seem slim, hidden costs and strategies impact margins. Independent oversight ensures transparency, fairness, and alignment, protecting the owner's investment throughout the project.
