Owner Representative Services
Working on behalf of owners to safeguard contractual obligations, ensure that scope and schedule are aligned with contract language, and that ownership interests are preserved.
Owner/General Contractor Risk Assessment
We engage with transparent and open communication to effectively identify and manage the risks, mitigate the impacts, and maximize project success.
Project Planning & Management
We establish effective contract administrative strategies and certify construction management communications programs. We establish a rigorous scheduling process that will ensure all management and prime subcontractors are tracking progress to the Baseline Schedule.
Conflict Resolution & Mediation
We create an open and transparent discourse, reveal the facts, and work with the stakeholders to acknowledge accountability and remedial actions. We confirm equitable arrangements in order to move the project forward.
Critical Path & Recovery Scheduling
We assess current schedules and delays, engaging the full construction team to generate a comprehensive recovery schedule; one that achieves contractor and ownership buy-in. We develop cost analysis programming that optimizes the impact adjustments and re-sequencing effectiveness.
Forensic Analysis
Forensic scheduling analysis segregates project critical path delays that better demonstrates the causation of their impacts. Those schedule fragments are then the basis for effective cost assessment that then establishes contract equitable adjustments.
Equitable Claims Assesment
We conduct a comprehensive time impact analysis which specifically directs project delays and the subsequent compensable values towards the apparent responsible parties.
Expert Witness
Expert witness capacity in both civil and federal court proceedings. Development of demonstrative evidence and appropriate litigation materials.
“I would like to recommend Todd Hartman and his company for the superb job that they did on the takeover and claim management of a multi building roofing project where the original contractor went out of business half way through the project.”
“Todd Hartman was exactly who we needed at the time we needed him. It appeared as though we were having breakdowns in communication with the GC. After reviewing our concerns with our legal folks, they agreed things were breaking down and recommended Hartman Strong Hartman.
Todd wasted no time in getting familiar with the issues and the players. He was able to change the stance of the GC almost immediately by guiding our responses to them. He was present in the field and in meetings. Todd is a master of his craft. He was able to set our minds at ease so we could focus. You knew he was genuine. Our issues were his issues. He was in the trenches with us all the way through.
What I really loved about working with Todd is what we learned from him. He wasn’t like other service providers that you pay, get the service, then the invoice and it’s over. He wasn’t just giving us a fish, he was teaching us to fish. He proactively followed up with me and my staff to make sure we understood and could duplicate what we were doing. It was such a great experience working with Todd that we hired him for our next project and have recommended him to several others that we know could benefit from his expertise.”
“I would like to inform you as to why we recommend Hartman Strong Hartman.
We met Todd Hartman in early 2014 when he had come in for a personal project. He and I had worked well together, and the job was complete. I learned quickly of Todd’s ability to adapt and understand problems and to think of quick, but effective, solutions.
In mid-2016, I was realizing that I needed Todd’s assistance on a large, high profile job. Todd and I discussed the details, problems, and the best way to resolve them. Hartman Strong Hartman gave rock-solid advice from the very beginning, Todd remained on the project until it was completely resolved, and was vital to the outcome.
Hartman Strong Hartman is responsible and timely in answering calls and questions and if we ever need assistance again, we would definitely use Todd.”
