Consultancy Provides Comprehensive, Cost-Effective Construction and Real Estate Offerings
Washington, D.C. – September 21, 2020 – Carlton Fields is pleased to announce the launch of Centinel Consulting, LLC, a Washington, D.C.-based construction consultancy. Centinel assists public and private sector construction and real estate companies through all phases of construction projects – from contract drafting to contract administration to dispute resolution – in a cost-effective manner.
Centinel’s leadership team comprises three seasoned construction industry professionals: Joseph A. McManus, Jr., president; Wm. Cary Wright, vice president; and George J. Meyer, secretary.
“Centinel supplies a significant advantage to its clients by improving project performance and avoiding or helping resolve construction disputes,” said McManus, who has decades of experience in government contracting and international construction, and once served as general counsel to a major U.S. construction contractor. “We are able to assemble reputable, readily-available consultants without traditional overhead burdens.”
“A focus on consultant quality clearly distinguishes Centinel Consulting from others in this essential industry,” agrees Wright, who offers savvy counsel to Centinel clients involved in a broad range of projects including bridges, convention centers, stadiums, high-rise condominiums, highways, hospitals, and hotels. “Centinel’s true value is rooted in the caliber of the consultants actually working on the client’s project.”
Centinel provides a full range of consulting services at a lower cost than its competitors. The consultancy advises on many issues that arise in the course of a complex construction project, including planning and estimating, project troubleshooting and crisis management, change order pricing, socioeconomic program compliance, ADA compliance, litigation support, labor regulation and compliance, quality assurance/quality control, schedule analysis, dispute resolution, and claim preparation and defense.
The team’s independent contractors, located throughout the United States and Caribbean basin and abroad, include estimating and cost analysts, schedulers, program and project managers, compliance experts, and claims specialists, all with both technical expertise and practical experience.
“Because of Centinel’s unique approach and talented team of experts, we are able to tap into our practical knowledge and expertise under an innovative and flexible model designed to deliver speedy, high-quality, and cost-effective results,” says Meyer, who has extensive experience working with owners, developers, contractors, and designers.
Centinel is one of three wholly owned Carlton Fields subsidiaries introduced this year. Carlton Fields also launched Core Triangle Consulting, a human resources risk management consultancy led by a team of nationally renowned labor and employment law and policy professionals, and SQrBlock Solutions, the first-of-its-kind consultancy whose mission is to identify and coordinate the development of blockchain-powered applications for every industry sector. Carlton Fields’ value-centric approach across all three consultancies prioritizes clients’ overall business goals and drives value directly into clients’ hands.
