We provide service at various points in projects, from initial evaluation and plan development through construction oversight and project completion.

- Exterior envelope evaluation of existing buildings.
- Evaluation and remediation of water infiltration issues above grade.
- Settlement issues.
- Forensic investigation.
Advanced Building Consultants administers more than 100 repair, restoration, and upgrade projects a year, totaling more than $50 million in construction costs.
Our construction administration process starts with a Project Initiation Conference at which Advanced Building Consultants meets with the building owner’s representatives and the contractor to compile a submission list, establish a project schedule with milestones, confirm crew assignments, and prepare for potential difficulties.
During the construction phase Advanced Building Consultants visits the site two to three time a week to check if the methods and materials used conform to the specifications and code.
We provide a written report for each site visit, including a list for progress and addressing deficient work.
Advanced Building Consultants also reviews shop drawings, change orders, and payment requests and signs off on the completed work.
Advanced Building Consultants stays on the job throughout the construction phase to keep projects on schedule and budget.
Because of the number and size of construction projects that Advanced Building Consultants administers, we are able to obtain very competitive quotes for our clients.
For every repair or upgrade project, Advanced Building Consultants screens the contractors and arranges a pre-bid walkthrough with approximately four to six qualified contractors to explain the scope of work and answer any questions.
After soliciting he sealed bid, we provide a detailed bid spreadsheet and analysis, which includes breakdowns for unit and gross prices to accommodate the client’s budget. Based on a thorough review of the bids, Advanced Building Consultants helps the owner select contractor and assists in negotiating the contract to assure favorable terms for the client.
