What does a construction consultant actually do?
Less advice, more verification. The value is in checking what everyone else asserts.
Short answer
A construction consultant verifies and documents: that budgets are complete, that bids are comparable, that contracts allocate risk sensibly, that schedules are achievable, that billings match work in place, and that changes are entitled and fairly priced.
A week in the role
- Review the contractor's pay application against a site walk and the schedule of values
- Chase three outstanding owner decisions before they hit the critical path
- Price-check a pending change order and challenge two line items
- Update the cost forecast and flag the trend to the owner
- Confirm long-lead deliveries and adjust the look-ahead
Deliverables you can hold
- Monthly owner report: cost, schedule, changes, risk, decisions due
- Reconciled budget with forecast at completion
- Change order log with entitlement position on each
- Decision log with dates and cost consequences
- Closeout package: warranties, as-builts, O&M, commissioning records
