For projects where a soft answer costs money.
Founded by Harvey J. Lawrence · 1996
Providing construction consulting since 1986
Every construction consulting recommendation is either the last chance to catch a problem, or the first exhibit in a lawsuit. We built HJL for both.
Files built to survive discovery.
For the disputes that can't be talked around — litigation support, surety completions, and expert analysis built to hold up in front of counsel.
The owner's side of the table, run right.
Independent oversight on the owner's side. Bid review, schedule scrutiny, and pay-application discipline — protecting owners and hotel and hospitality developers from the inside.
What's really there, on paper.
Under the finishes, past the disclosure, documented. Property condition assessments and reserve studies for acquisition, refinance, insurance, and portfolio management.
Every draw carries a principal's judgment.
Draw discipline for the modern lender. Independent review of every construction loan draw — inspected, verified against a written Release Matrix, and principal-led before release.
