SOCOTEC's Advisory team identifies critical issues relevant to a project’s success in the built environment, from pre-construction planning and procurement through project execution and close-out. Our versatile team provides insight into processes that improve project performance, analyzing estimates, budgets, schedules, contracts, and control systems, and then integrating those pieces into an efficient whole. We bridge the gaps by improving transparency and communication among stakeholders.
We offer a comprehensive approach to dispute resolution from technical analysis determining the true causes of project concerns to quantifying the financial damages that follow. Our experts have extensive experience testifying during depositions, mediations and arbitrations, and our clients can count on our track-record of success in courtrooms if their claim goes to trial.
