Ongoing and Project-based Owner Services
Count on Donley Construction Consultants for both continuing and one-time, project-based advisory services to property managers and HOAs in L.A.
Dispute Resolution in Northern
and Southern California
My other focus is working with attorneys on dispute resolution projects. In addition to expert testimony, I provide insider perspective and investigative services, via in-person inspection and examining project documents. If I haven’t seen your exact problem, I’ve probably seen something like it.
Modern Construction Approaches
I rely on today's best techniques, such as lean construction and target value design (TVD), to reduce waste, increase efficiency and provide better contracting, cost control and project schedules. I also use new procurement techniques to build quality project teams, resulting in better outcomes.
It’s been many months and I have been working all along. But taking all the recommended precautions all along.
Just two weeks ago, I made a site visit and the client, an owner wasn’t even there. The key was in a lockbox and I still haven’t met them. They sent such a detailed set of documents in a Dropbox account, I completed the entire report with just a few phone calls.
I am a generalist. I work on almost anything. I served as a consultant on a hydroelectric project built inside an earthen dam called the Black Butte dam. There was a controversy over different methods of shoring a large hole that needed to be cut into the dam to install electric generation equipment.
The mailboxes of subcontractors are full on information about new materials and how to apply them every week. I get only a few of them, but a specialist subcontractor is sought out by materials suppliers from around the world.
In November 2018, I was called by Ben Bar from Allstate HOA Management regarding referrals to HOA’s for consulting programs. His main contact, Jerry Acker had recently retired and they were looking for experienced consultants to assist their client HOAs.
Helpful in the planning the maintenance of a large structure in Los Angeles, is familiarity with the processes and performers of work on large buildings. The successful project is dependent on good planning. Even the planning of the planning. That might sound redundant, and it is, but redundancy in construction is a good thing, when applied in the right places.
