consulting, and advisory services with a strategic focus on

SOCOTEC Spearheads Expert Guidance in
Construction Site Challenges and Troubled Project Turnarounds
Since 2020, over 82% of construction materials have increased by
an average of nearly 20% coinciding with the onset of pandemic
lockdowns. Despite some alleviation in material lead times, delays
persist, exacerbated by a labor shortage surpassing 500,000
workers.
Such complexities frequently manifest as scheduling delays, job
site frustrations, and budgetary tensions, prompting building
owners to seek effective solutions. SOCOTEC, a nationwide firm
renowned for its architectural, engineering, and construction
consulting services, emerges as a beacon of resolution, identifying
and solving critical issues that hinder project delivery.
SOCOTEC experts emphasize the importance of third-party
assistance to assess project planning, execution, delivery and any
other complex situations that can take part on a construction
project site in order to resolve conflicts and get the project back
on track to a successful completion.
SOCOTEC's proactive project advisory expertise offers
comprehensive services including project management, project loss
consulting, and CRE assessment, aimed at reducing risk and
enhancing project outcomes.
Serving as impartial intermediaries, SOCOTEC's disciplined
approach facilitates resolution amid heightened tensions and
stalled communication in and out of the field. Through meticulous
analysis, the team identifies root causes and formulates tailored
solutions to address productivity, cost, and scheduling concerns.
Leveraging internal expertise in roofing/waterproofing,
commissioning, inspections, permitting assistance, scheduling,
project controls, accounting & budgeting, forensic engineering,
and more, SOCOTEC offers holistic remedies unique to each client's
specific needs.
Illustrating SOCOTEC's dedication to turning around troubled
projects and mitigating risks, Senior Managing Director,
Alan Sides recounts a recent case in
Texas where SOCOTEC's intervention
rectified critical structural deficiencies in a six-story
condominium, ensuring resident safety through swift
remediation.
While minor disruptions are to be expected in construction
projects, Sides stresses the importance of avoiding poor
subcontractor performance, maintaining regular schedule updates and
communication, and addressing quality and technical concerns to
prevent projects from derailing.
