Risk Mitigation & Problem Solving
Proactive identification of schedule risks, coordination conflicts, and potential disputes. We solve problems before they become expensive delays or litigation.
Other Services for Small Business Owners
On any complex project, risk isn't a possibility; it's a certainty. A single missed detail—a subcontractor coordination gap, a latent site condition, a vague contract clause—can cascade, triggering a chain reaction of delays, change orders, and budget overruns.
For an owner, these unmanaged problems are what turn a viable project into a financial disaster.
Our role is to act as your proactive stop-gap. We bring a rigorous, disciplined process to identify, analyze, and neutralize risks before they impact your bottom line. We hunt for ambiguity. We see problem-solving not as a reactive "fire drill," but as a calm, structured, and confident process.
Our risk and problem-solving services include:
- Proactive Risk Identification: We start in pre-construction, analyzing contracts for scope gaps, reviewing drawings for constructability conflicts, and pressure-testing the schedule for unrealistic assumptions.
- Rigorous Change Order Vetting: We don't just "process" change orders. We analyze their root cause. Is it a true unforeseen condition, or a contractor/design error? We validate every dollar and every day of delay claimed, protecting you from paying for others' mistakes.
- Disciplined Schedule Monitoring: We don't just accept the contractor's two-week look-ahead. We analyze the critical path, ensuring that a small delay in one trade doesn't create a six-week delay for the entire project.
- Structured Problem Resolution: When a problem arises, we own it. We don't engage in finger-pointing; we bring the right parties to the table, define the problem, analyze the options, and drive the team to a documented, cost-effective solution.
You cannot eliminate risk, but you can manage it. With DeVore Consulting as your advocate, you have a professional, disciplined expert dedicated to seeing problems first and solving them fast. We are your protection against the small mistakes that lead to big disasters.
