We Add Value and Save Clients Money Lea+Elliott helps save clients money at every phase of the project by planning ahead to avoid the surprises that may lead to increased costs. During planning, it’s a matter of coming up with the right solution for the client’s core needs, identifying what is essential and what can be put on the wish list, and preparing thorough cost- benefit analyses. During the procurement phase, it is a matter of identifying risks and potential ways to mitigate them. It is developing procurement documents that foster competitive procurement and advising clients on contract negotiations that fairly allocate risks and costs. During the implementation phase, it is a matter of overseeing the contractors, proactively identifying schedule and budget impacts. It is identifying policy decisions and actions the client might take to proactively minimize risks. It is serving as technical and strategic advisors evaluating the contractors’ work for potential value engineering support and helping them perform their work in a timely and budget- conscious manner. Good planning saves time. Saving time saves money…and we are good planners! “Philosophically, I was more interested in targets than weapons. Most mechanical engineers were going to work for big defense contractors. I wanted to build something more positive for the world.” Ron Sheahan | Principal
