Transform your operational capabilities by implementing industry-leading management practices tailored to your business needs and objectives. We work with all types of construction firms – general contractors, construction managers, heavy civils, specialty trades, industrials – to optimize performance and profitability.

Our operations consultants focus on:

Contractor Operating Models

• Gain control over your operations and create more consistent performance by synchronizing projects and teams with an agile and adaptable operations system.
• Develop structure, processes, tools and metrics that are repeatable, standardized and support your long-term strategy.

Labor Intensive Contractors  – Productivity Improvement

• Improve your labor productivity by 5% to 10%. With an average of one out of every three labor hours deemed nonproductive, these productivity gains can help increase net profit margins by 50% to 100%.
• Create customized, field-focused processes tools and key performance indicators (KPIs) that drive labor performance.

Equipment Intensive Contractors – Fleet Optimization

• Create a strategic approach to fleet management that adds at least 2% to net profits and reduces capital needs by a minimum of 3%.
• Understand the unique opportunities and risks that come with running an equipment intensive organization and determine ways to better manage your capital.

General Contractors & Construction Managers – Project Controls

• Increase your project-level gross margins by implementing world-class project controls.
• Enhance your management of subcontractors and suppliers, who are approximately 80% of direct costs for GC/CMs, by streamlining your planning, documentation, schedule, cost, quality and closeout processes.

Preconstruction and Estimating

• Set your firm apart from the competition with best-in-class preconstruction services that professionally deliver schedule, scope and cost certainty for your clients.
• Develop successful methods for project selection, cost estimation, overhead recovery and yield pricing that improve your bottom line.

Risk Management

• Establish sophisticated subcontractor risk management practices that support your subcontractor default and captive insurance strategies, protecting your balance sheet and increasing your bottom line.
• Plan for and mitigate all aspects of enterprise risks from areas such as safety, cybersecurity, theft, surety, indemnification, subcontractor defaults, claims and change orders, to preserve and grow profits.
