When is the best time to start a project risk review?

Before the first day of work. Catching documentation, notice, and contract gaps at the front end of a project is dramatically cheaper than fixing them once payment problems surface.

Do you review projects we already have underway?

Yes. Mid-project reviews focus on whether preliminary notices, deadlines, and contract obligations are still on track, and what corrective steps are still available given the project's current posture.

What do you actually look at during a review?

Contract and subcontract terms, scope and change-order documentation, payment-application history, notice and lien-deadline calendars, ownership and GC verification, and any compliance gaps unique to the project's jurisdiction.

Project Risk Management

Comprehensive project risk management analysis tailored to each engagement.

By tailoring and individualizing the project review process, we help identify potential compliance and payment risks, assess project documentation and procedural gaps, and develop practical risk-management strategies designed to improve outcomes and operational performance.

Our reviews account for project-specific timing requirements, notice obligations, and documentation standards — so issues surface early, while there is still time to act.

What's Included

Documentation and procedural gap analysis
Compliance and payment risk identification
Practical, project-specific risk mitigation

For projects located outside Illinois, our role focuses on coordination, compliance tracking, and collaboration with licensed local counsel where state-specific legal determinations are required.
