Project & Construction Management Services

---

Project management has typically been a matter of placing experienced persons in key positions and relying on their expertise to plan, schedule and manage. But the construction industry has changed substantially—as have many other industries. Particularly with the claims oriented and litigious nature of participants in major projects. As a result, sophisticated technology has been developed for the industry. These advancements are used not only to assist project management, but also to create a record and basis for subsequent promulgation and defense of construction claims. Blue Ridge Solutions’ participation in project management includes application of current project-specific control mechanisms to monitor and control costs and schedule as well as mitigate claims and disputes.
