Risk Management Services

Capabilities

• Project Risk and Contingency Assessment

  Every construction project possesses a unique set of challenges and risk levels. To recognize the appropriate level of risk tolerance for each venture, Exponent works with clients to tailor the Project Risk and Contingency Assessment process to suit the level of detail and specific needs of each project.

  In combination with Exponent's expertise in diverse technical disciplines, this approach affords a full understanding of risks associated with the project and allows for the establishment of an extensive mitigation plan to manage said risks.

• Distressed Project and Contract Assessment

  Exponent's construction consultants perform risk assessments of distressed projects to identify progress impediments and recommend remediation strategies to avoid project delays and cost overruns.

• Probabilistic Cost and Scheduling Modeling

  Advanced risk modeling techniques — including probabilistic, enterprise, and 4D and 5D scheduling — enable project stakeholders to identify, quantify, and mitigate project risks during the pre-construction phase when the impacts of recognized issues are most easily assuaged. Exponent provides risk modeling, scheduling, and clash-detention services to help you manage uncertainties throughout the design and project lifecycle.

• Capital Planning Due Diligence

  The Capital Planning process is multifaceted, and owners and developers need comprehensive program and project plans. Exponent assists in preparing the overall program/project plan, providing an independent assessment of its integrity and feasibility, or evaluating select components of the plan.

• Construction Fraud Investigations

  From misappropriation of funds and billing for unperformed work to equipment and materials theft and manipulating change orders, Exponent consultants conduct thorough fraud analyses to investigate claims resulting from construction fraud and deliver litigation support and expert witness testimonies as appropriate.

• Organizational Structure and Process Assessment

  In the fast-paced construction industry, it is critical to define roles, responsibilities, and processes that support project and program execution. Exponent's construction consultants can help you define, assess, and manage organizational structures and process flows throughout the program lifecycle, from strategic project planning and purchasing to resource strategies and documentation support.
