GREYHAWK professionals possess a wealth of construction, management, consulting and design experience that allows us to offer our clients numerous Specialty Consulting services. Some of these services include:

Devil's Tower Offshore Platform |
Project Rescue & Completion
Every construction program strives to stay on schedule and within budget. High profile projects, in particular, cannot afford delays and often involve immovable deadlines. When projects fall off-track or become hopelessly stalled, GREYHAWK provides project condition assessments, including completion costs, schedules and strategies, and gets the project moving again. For those projects that are near completion, we can resolve and negotiate disputed claims and change orders on the owner’s behalf, as well as assist in the commissioning, startup and occupancy of the project.
Project Risk Management
Major private and public owners who invest hundreds of millions of corporate/investor/taxpayer funds in the construction and expansion of service and revenue facilities have a responsibility to vigilantly protect that investment. They often are not fully educated on the devastating impacts of cost and schedule overruns, system failures, and general construction disputes. The potential risks of these goliath projects are many, varied, and often not fully recognized in advance. GREYHAWK’s risk management program provides proven techniques to identify and manage the risks in the construction process from planning through design, construction and commissioning/acceptance.
Financial Monitoring and Auditing
Financial institutions are often at risk when funding construction projects. Whether the source is a bank, brokerage house, venture capitalist, or angel investor, GREYHAWK can help to successfully protect the investment. GREYHAWK's financial monitoring services, organized into two phases (Preconstruction and Construction Services), are beneficial to construction projects of virtually every size and type. We work within a client's specific project and contract restraints to break down risks and exposures into manageable components: financial, contractual, operational, organizational, and insurable.
Integrity Monitoring
An integrity monitoring program is implemented in those instances when extra precautions are necessary to prevent fraud, waste, abuse, and corruption during a construction project. GREYHAWK has the expertise and industry knowledge to create proactive, customized solutions to prevent or deter fraud, corruption, and safety/environmental violations from occurring on a construction site, while not inhibiting the project’s schedule, cost, or contractor performance. Serving as IPSIG (Independent Private Sector Inspectors General), GREYHAWK’s team of professional consultants has the sophisticated legal, forensic auditing, investigative and loss prevention skills with particular expertise in the investigation and prosecution of construction, labor, and environmental fraud schemes to ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations. We seek not only to identify inappropriate activity and coordinate with the appropriate authorities, but to deter it from happening in the future.
Negotiation Assistance
Negotiation is a powerful tool used to settle a claim or dispute early, without formalized legal proceedings such as mediation, arbitration or trial. GREYHAWK facilitates the negotiation process by structuring the meeting, scheduling the dates and times, helping each party understand the position of the other, and keeping discussions relevant. As a negotiation facilitator, we represent neither party and both parties split the cost of our services.
In some cases, GREYHAWK is hired by one party to assist with their preparation of a scheduled negotiation. We can remain anonymous, assisting with the technical issues of entitlement and damages or we can provide these same services and attend the negotiation session. |
