Consistent use of standardized contracting processes, practices and documentation produce more successful project results for owners, contractors and design professionals. This simple, but critical, element of project management is frequently overlooked with substantial financial consequences.

The average design professional firm experiences up to 5% of revenue losses due to poor contract management practices. Financial losses to contractors and owners can be substantially higher, sometimes involving claims approaching 25% of contract price on serious contractor claims caused by failure to implement sound contract management processes, practices and documentation.

Buckley & Leaders offers general and contract specific tools for construction projects to clients desiring better financial performance and greater project success. Gathered from over 30 years of successful projects and analysis of lessons learned, our tools are self- implementing into existing project procedures by the project team and are designed to:

• Facilitate contract management
• Increase quality of communications among contract parties
• Standardize notice and approval processes
• Manage scope change

Buckley & Leaders offers project-specific assistance for new practice areas and high-risk projects. We furnish risk review and drafting of project-specific or contract-specific documents and tools, frequently budgeted into project contract administration costs. Senior management and insurers often prefer an investment in these types of project assistance to avoid project performance problems, before losses or problems arise.
