I provide Construction Management Services specializing in Cost Engineering and Estimating, Contract Negotiation and Administration, and Claims Presentation and Resolution with an emphasis on Delay Claims. In addition, I present analysis, evaluation and recommendations to surety bond companies in the defense of surety bond claims. My 20+ years of professional work is rich with applied experience in civil construction management and senior-level decision-making including conflict resolution, finance, strategic planning and operations. I have worked successfully with large, multi-national corporations, small, privately-owned businesses and public agencies. Having worked in civil construction I know that contract changes can easily impact scheduling and disrupt a job. I work with owners, construction companies and the involved parties to resolve communication, cost, scheduling and planning challenges so that contract changes can be made with minimum risk. In addition, I also offer my expertise as a claims advisor, expert witness and construction company or owner representative. Established in 2009, Crescent Construction Solutions LLC continues to provide construction management services along the Gulf Coast. I have worked extensively with the Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction System (HSDRRS) and rebuilding of New Orleans, with my largest client of this work being the US Army Corps of Engineers.
