Operational and Document Control Services

It’s all about protocol, processes and procedures to ensure efficiency and maintain consistency.  Companies sometimes miss the mark designing forms and procedures that are cumbersome, redundant or confusing.  It’s important for those participating in these processes to understand the intent behind the material, the full life cycle of the project, and their role in that cycle.  Our firm can design the procedures to capture the intent of the company’s goals, ensure assigned roles best suit those who are participating, communicate procedures effectively and offer training to help implement and ensure consistency.  We work hard to ensure the client is heard and has buy-in, in every step of the process.

Dispute Resolution

Disputes and miscommunications in Construction, and most industries, are inevitable.  Contractors are passionate about what they do. When a dispute arises, things often escalate quickly which detracts from either side’s ability to logically resolve disputes in a timely manner.  Conflict can be a huge drain on company time, money and resources.  Our company is experienced and very capable to assist in mediating disputes to facilitate expeditious and equitable results that won’t compromise or jeopardize working relationships.
