Starting Construction?

Are your assets at risk?

As an owner, the construction process can seem overwhelming. From developing blueprints to finding contractors to do the work, there are many complicated steps that must be performed.

And unfortunately, the construction journey is full of pitfalls. Cost and schedule overruns, a frequent occurrence on construction projects, may seem minor when compared to the costly outcome of a jobsite injury lawsuit. If a claim of lien is filed, you may be forced you to sell you property.

But help is on the way. Kia Ricchi and her team of experts have the knowledge and experience to help safe-guard your assets. As consultants, we can review and oversee your project with your best interest in mind.  We also develop procedures and materials for organizations with reoccurring construction projects. Community association managers, condo associations, and real estate investment groups benefit from our programs as have a number of other businesses. We have also worked with government agencies.
