Navigating the complexities of a modern construction project requires informed decision-making, clear documentation, and a deep understanding of both technical and contractual requirements. Swainston Consulting Group (SCG) provides a comprehensive suite of services designed to streamline processes, improve performance, and mitigate risks at every stage of the project lifecycle. By combining hands-on field experience with specialized engineering and project management expertise, our consultants deliver practical, objective insights tailored to the unique challenges of each assignment. We work as an essential extension of your team, partnering closely with owners, contractors, and design stakeholders to ensure every project is positioned for success and aligned with industry best practices.
Swainston Consulting provides comprehensive construction consulting and expert witness services that integrate project management expertise with construction claims analysis. Our work spans the full lifecycle of construction projects and disputes, drawing on decades of hands-on experience in planning, design coordination, contract administration, construction execution, and project closeout. We are engaged to evaluate how projects were managed, how decisions were made, and whether the actions of the involved parties met accepted professional standards and contractual obligations.
Our services include detailed review and analysis of contracts, schedules, budgets, change orders, pay applications, project correspondence, field documentation, and cost records. We assess issues involving scope definition, sequencing, coordination, productivity, delays, disruptions, cost impacts, and responsibility among project participants. This work is performed with a practical understanding of how construction projects are actually executed in the field, not merely how they are described in contracts or theoretical schedules.
As expert witnesses and consultants, we provide objective opinions regarding standard of care, project controls, and causation of alleged damages. Our analysis supports matters involving delay claims, cost overruns, change order disputes, defective or incomplete work, and project management failures. Findings are documented in a clear, defensible manner suitable for mediation, arbitration, and trial, and are supported by testimony grounded in real-world project experience, industry standards, and long-standing construction practices.
