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
