The short answer: when the record is large, the timeline is contested, and someone has to make it legible to a decision-maker.
Most construction disputes are not arguments about the law. They are arguments about what happened, in what order, and who caused it — buried in schedules, daily reports, submittals, RFIs, change orders, and correspondence that nobody has time to read.
That is the work. Rick has spent forty-five years in commercial mechanical construction and has held every seat at the table: owner, contractor, and consultant. He has graphed S-curves to isolate exactly where and when a thirty-six-month project went off track, and whether the owner or the contractor put it there.
Building owners, architects, municipalities, MEP contractors, general contractors, construction managers, and sureties — and the attorneys who represent them, including counsel to ENR Top 100 firms.
Why it matters who the expert used to be. An analyst can read a schedule. Someone who has installed the pipe, priced the change order, run the shop, and sat on the owner's selection committee can tell you whether the schedule was ever achievable in the first place — and explain it to a jury without jargon.
Whether the question is an acquisition target, an operation that has stalled, or a claim headed for arbitration — the first conversation costs nothing.
