Practice Overview
The focus of A/E/C’s Project Delivery and Risk Management Services is to assist developers of capital projects to plan the most effective approach to deliver the completed facility on time and within budget. We help identify and manage the project-specific and generic risks associated with the building process, institute cost and schedule controls, and offer change management and dispute avoidance training and support.
Our approach considers owners’ internal capabilities and project characteristics in formulating a plan that balances the program objectives with the cost of transferring or controlling design and construction related risks. The unique value of A/E/C’s consulting service is derived from combining lessons learned in our dispute resolution practice with our consultants’ extensive operational background in engineering and construction contracting.
A/E/C Strategy offers solutions to increase efficiency of the project delivery process and minimize typical construction related impacts through the use of the latest technological tools available in the industry. Using an intelligent Building Information Model (BIM) platform - a digital, virtual representation of the project with an integrated link to the project CPM schedule - we help our clients review and resolve logistic and sequence problems, detect physical interferences and communicate the project execution plan to all project stakeholders in a graphically rich and technically accurate 3D environment. Our solutions are tailor-made to suit the specific needs of each client.
