Our Services
Omundson Construction Consulting (OCC) provides Construction Expert Services to parties dealing with construction disputes, or seeking to prevent them. If called in early, OCC’s Contract Administration expertise helps keep your project on track, avoiding escalation of costly problems by effectively dealing with project issues in real time. Changes and Claims are often most beneficially resolved during the course of construction.
Other issues lingering or arising after construction require considered review, formation of expert opinion, and skilled claim or report writing. Our compelling analysis and seasoned negotiating skills help drive favorable settlements in the vast majority of cases we undertake. Nonetheless, some construction disputes prove intractable and are settled only at arbitration or trial, where our expert testimony has proven to be highly effective.
In addition to reports, claims, and testimony, the OCC team also offers:
Project management
Graphic design and trial demonstratives
Technical writing and editing services
OCC’s Expertise Includes:
Changed Conditions • Acceleration • Delay—all causes • Impact Analysis • Cost Analysis • Termination for Convenience or Default • Nonpayment • Design Sufficiency • Extra Work • Notice Provisions • Subcontractor/Supplier Disputes • Scope of Work Interpretation • Loss of Productivity • Warranty • Nondisclosure/Fraud • Construction Defects
Construction Law
OCC does not offer legal advice, but can refer excellent attorneys for your specific situation, if needed. That said, we have a firm grounding in the principles of construction law. We honestly review the strengths/weaknesses of your case, and confidently assert the appropriate contractual arguments at hand. When necessary, we carefully advise clients that our expert opinion will not support the causes they expect to put forth.
If an attorney or legal team is involved, we are pleased to offer services well beyond explaining technical aspects of a case. Along with our reports, claims/counter claims, settlement support, and testimony, attorneys often appreciate our contribution in deposition preparation, complaint/motion/statement reviews, witness preparation, presentation graphics, and cross-examination queries.
