Protect Yourself from Change Orders with Avenue’s Front-Line Defense
POSTED August 27, 2018
We all know constructing a new building is exciting and hiccups don’t happen as a project progresses. Unfortunately, that’s just not reality. There’s bound to be some “changes” along the way. And yes, we’re talking about those two awful words, change orders. Whether those changes are minor or significant, rest assured Avenue Consultants will be your advocate to protect your investment.
As part of our Owner’s Representative services, Avenue will manage change for you. In this unfamiliar territory it’s hard to know when to protest and when to pay up. If there’s a legitimate change in the field, we will find a fair price and protect you from over-inflated change orders. We can determine the accuracy, and not only document but identify all of the cost-saving alternatives out there. On a recent project a significant error slide past the supplier, subcontractor, and general contractor nearly costing our owner $15,000! Our frontline defense was there to prevent a simple mistake from happening in the first place. We can help relieve the stress, monitor the progression, and catch those errors throughout the project.
