CES’s seasoned and respected project controls professionals provide expertise in analytical processes used to accurately predict and understand time and cost outcomes and to develop effective strategies for mitigating risks, including schedule and budget impacts. Our experience covers the full spectrum of project control functions—including constructability and risk, schedule, cost, change, and claims management—for hundreds of highway, transit, tunnel, airport, and building projects.
Our seasoned project controls staff includes planning and schedule professionals, certified cost professionals, and professional engineers who have the experience needed to help public agencies make informed decisions about their projects and avoid budget overruns and claims. In addition, CES has conducted claim avoidance and analyses on behalf of owners for projects ranging from $3M to $2.8B and have successfully defended owners against claims. Also, we have worked with the Virginia Attorney General’s office to negotiate and defend against claims that were filed as lawsuits.

Client Testimonials
“I am writing this letter to recognize the valuable services that CES Consulting, LLC provided the City of Falls Church . . .CES reviewed more than two hundred (200) change orders from the contractor covering variety of construction issues. Many of the change orders were directed by the City of Falls Church and related to IT, security, and water supply issues. CES analyzed each change order request and provided recommendations to the City regarding contract compliance and time and cost impacts to the project . . . CES was proactive and responsive on the project and worked well with the Project Manager. I have enjoyed working with CES and look forward to the opportunity to work with them on future projects.”

“CES Consulting also provided ReThink 9 with project controls support through their review of the contractor’s schedules, baseline, and all monthly updates. Chowdhary Gondy provided these services contemporaneously to ensure that progress was on target and ahead of schedule by advising the contractor to work out of sequence. This support enabled the project to move ahead of schedule and to be positioned for substantial completion well ahead of the original contract completion date. . . Likewise, the timely review and analysis of the contractor schedule performance provided by Chowdhary has brought great benefits to the project owner, guiding the Town in key decision making and during delicate deliberations with the contractor. Chowdhary’s depth of knowledge and sense of fairness has been critical to creating and maintaining a high level of trust and respect between the contractor and the Town.”
