Program Advisory Services
Barba Consulting provides services throughout the Planning, Execution, and Close-out phases of the construction process
Execution Phase Services
Carefully prepared contract requirements and project procedures are essential tools of contract administration and construction management. However, if they are not actually adhered-to by all parties during construction, even the best planning efforts can go to waste.
Barba Consulting provides a range of project execution services designed to ensure that planning phase requirements are translated into execution phase practices that are not abandoned in the face of difficult situations.
Project Oversight: Successfully implementing your plan
We offer comprehensive, on-site project management support services designed to help keep our clients in control of their projects. We ensure that all parties involved perform their duties in accordance with their respective contract and project procedures obligations.
Operating as an extension of our clients' staff, our on-site professionals transform your contract requirements and management procedures into working tools to successfully control the work. Initially, we ensure that a baseline schedule is established. Thereafter, we systematically monitor actual versus planned performance, update the schedule for progress achieved and delays experienced, and ensure the schedule remains a viable management tool throughout the course of the work. We have also demonstrated the ability to mitigate delays and minimize costs by developing work-around schedules to prevent impacts in one area from affecting all areas of the project. And, by proactively resolving problems at the earliest possible time, we keep them from turning into large claims and disputes.
Our project oversight services keep you abreast of where you are, how you got there, and where you're going. And, by resolving problems as they occur, we help reduce the chance of litigation at the end of the job.
Problems during construction?
We can help put your job back on track.
Barba Consulting is often brought into projects in distress to help resolve claims and disputes, and re-establish project momentum. We initially provide our clients with an objective assessment of their projects' status from a contractual, schedule, and financial standpoint; identify the sources of problems; and develop strategies to place the project back on track.
Our professionals have the ability to quickly develop solutions to problems, facilitate communication among the parties, and provide you with the factual, contractual, schedule and cost information needed to make sound business decisions with respect to the best manner in which to proceed with the work.
Thereafter, we assist in resolving outstanding changes and claims, and implementing project completion strategies. Moreover, working closely with our clients and counsel we establish protocols for resolving disputes that take these matters out of the hands of client personnel responsible for day-to-day management of the work, enabling them to better focus their attention on managing the project to completion.
