'Project in Crisis' CONSULTING

In today’s world of impossible deadlines, unreliable labour force, and unpredictable markets it is understandable how projects can face a multitude of challenges. Bulldog Construction Services has successfully helped recover and rehabilitate a multitude of projects facing bankruptcy/bank foreclosure, significant timeline delays, extreme remote/logistically challenged locations, conflicts with construction manager and trades, design and assembly failures just to name a few. 

Many times the project team does not realize how bad a project has become until it seems too daunting to continue. I call it ‘the frog in the pot’ scenario. A frog can be placed in a cold pot of water. The water can be brought to a boil and the frog will not notice until its too late. A fresh set of eyes and a new way of thinking to identify and tackle the problems is often the only solution to rescue a construction project from failure and turn it into a success. 

Our unconventional approach to salvaging a project and changing its trajectory has proven successful. We first identify the issues from top to bottom. This means issues with design/contracts/management right down to the attitude and concerns of the workers on site. Next we help identify the risks and consequences of the current situation and the projected risks/consequences if the trajectory is not changed. 

Once our risk analysis is complete and the priorities are identified, we will work with the construction team and consultants to formulate an action plan that has three main intentions; 

1. Loss stop- immediately stop losses and control damages. 

2. Control- re-establish proper leadership and management as well as appropriate chain-of-command 

3. Recovery- move forward with the completion of the project with the most efficient and cost effective way possible

This action plan is updated and reformatted as often as necessary to ensure project success. 

At BCS, we have developed very unique and specific documentation to evaluate and track progress that satisfies lending institutions. We are able to show current percentage of completion as well as projected percentage of completion very accurately in an easy to understand format for most institutions. 

If your project is in crisis or facing potential failure, do not hesitate any longer! You have already made the first step toward success by acknowledging the need for a better way.
