Socotec’s portfolio of companies is equipped to provide an enhanced scope of solutions to our client base for a wide variety of project types, risks and technologies.

At SOCOTEC’s Atlanta GA practice we specialize in two primary areas of expertise – Dispute Resolution and Project Advisory (PA) Services. And while this focus remains at our core, we are strengthened through our affiliation with other SOCOTEC entities that also practice in all sectors of construction. It is through these relationships that we can collaborate with over 400 technical experts to position ourselves as a trusted advisor. We consistently provide thorough, independent, and compelling project assessments that clients rely on to manage risks, avoid and equitably resolve disputes.

SOCOTEC’s Project Advisory practice provides technical problem solving and insight into project activities that improve performance through root cause analysis, analysis and preparation of estimates, budgets, schedules, contracts, and cost control systems. Our Project Advisory services are typically performed on-site in an Owner’s Representative or Construction Monitoring capacity. In either role, our work empowers stakeholders to confidently make decisions that impact schedule and costs to successfully achieve client project goals.
