Consulting

Construction and development problems rarely start as disputes. They start as a planning gap, an unclear scope, a site condition nobody flagged early enough, and they harden into something costly only because no one distilled the situation to its core facts in time. Torrven brings over 30 years of construction experience, as a general contractor, Resident Engineer and Administrative Contracting Officer for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and Civil Engineer Corps Officer and Contracting Officer for the U.S. Navy (NAVFAC), to find that core early. We've resolved hundreds of change orders, requests for equitable adjustment, disputes, and contentious issues for contractors, engineering firms, property managers, developers, and agencies, whether the project is privately funded or federally contracted.

Our Core Services

• Federal & Commercial Project Expertise Federal protocols, including planning, design and constructability, three-phase quality control, EM 385-1-1 safety, environmental compliance, and contract administration, plus the equivalent issues on privately funded developments, real estate projects, and construction work. Different rulebooks, same underlying discipline.

• Requests for Equitable Adjustment (REA) Preparation & Analysis Contract modifications under FAR/DFARS for planning deficiencies, design errors, agency-directed changes, delays, or differing site conditions, including evidence, impact calculations, and compliant submissions for early, fair recoveries.

• Private Contract Claims & Change Order Support The same rigor applied to private contracts: documenting delays, design conflicts, and site conditions, then building the evidence and impact analysis to support a change order or claim, before a dispute forces the issue.

• Real Estate & Development Advisory Due diligence, feasibility, and risk review for developers and property managers, covering site conditions, entitlements, construction budgets, contractor selection, and project oversight from acquisition through completion. The earlier the facts are clear, the fewer surprises later.

• Dispute Consulting & Resolution Entitlement and quantum assessments, mediation, arbitration, and expert testimony to de-escalate efficiently and avoid litigation, federal or private.

• Proactive Risk Management Contract reviews, change order management, delay avoidance, partnering, and team training to catch vulnerabilities and mitigate risk before it escalates, whether you're bidding a federal task order or negotiating a private development deal.
