Client Representation

Clients request this service when the demands of capital programs stress the resources of their organization. RGD provides a true alternative to in-house resources by offering a high level of practical experience, know-how and confidentiality. We provide a management team to develop the scope of work, schedules and estimates for alternatives during the conceptual design phase.   

Typically this is performed by a team of senior project managers, estimators and project planners who have the experience in construction methods, installed cost, project timetables, alternate plant layout and materials of construction.  

Also provided are "constructability reviews" wherein design is reviewed to ensure that construction sequences and efficiencies are included in the design thus resulting in project schedule and cost savings. [top]
