| We
represent the interests of our clients to mitigate the risks
inherent in the construction process and assist them in avoiding
the costs associated with disputes and claims. As independent
and objective consultants, we provide a multi-disciplined capability
towards the resolution of claims with our in-house expertise
in:
Claims Analysis. We evaluate the contract along with the plans
and specifications as to performance and compliance with industry
standards of practice. We define the issues and factually determine
responsibility. We examine the overall claim as to its merit
and risk to the client.
Scheduling. Using the critical path method, we analyze the
causes of delay, comparing as-planned and as-built schedules.
We examine productivity, acceleration, weather, and other issues
associated with schedule and performance.
Cost. We identify, evaluate and quantify all direct and indirect
costs to determine damages. This includes lost productivity,
compensable delays, and the cost to complete the work followed
by the determination as to whether the costs are reasonable,
allowable and recoverable.
Strategy. We provide a number of strategic actions determined
by our mission, the project requirements and/or the needs of
the client. This includes resolving the claim, negotiations,
settlement strategy, furnishing a professional report outlining
our findings, expert witness testimony, or technical and objective
consultation as-needed.
Don Todd Associates can provide the above services part and
parcel of our project and construction management services or
as an independent consultant. With experience on over 500 projects
and every aspect of the construction process, we bring a unique
depth of experience to the assignment. Thus we believe that
we can minimize risk and effectively resolve claims expeditiously.
