Grantlun got us to assess our entire operation (the good and the bad). So far we are having real in-depth conversations as we work through the workbooks and are optimistic we will see real improvement to our quality and bottom line. Great approach, great product and great people.

David Hand, President O. L. Thompson, Charleston, SC
Grant Lungren’s extensive real world construction experience and technical insight have been an invaluable help to our organization. Grant has helped us streamline our operations and helped us to implement many time saving automated systems. With his help we have trimmed our workforce while growing our revenue. I would recommend Grantlun to anyone that is interested in having a knowledgeable no-nonsense party on their advisory board.
Adam Day, President Fox Contractors, Fort Wayne, IN

Grant Lungren has been a tremendous asset to our company. He has helped us establish and define our corporate structure as well as aided us in the implementation of business processes that have allowed our company to grow. I personally, rely on him for his knowledge and insight to our industry – someone that I can lean on. We were taught very well how to run the equipment and get the jobs done. We just weren’t taught how to run a business. That’s where Grant comes in!

Sam Brice, President Brice Inc., Fairbanks, AK

Grant’s knowledge of systems and procedures and, more importantly, his ‘been there, done that’ experience has helped us navigate the many pitfalls inherent to a growing construction company. In addition, Grant’s many contacts and nationwide exposure allow us to ‘benchmark’ ourselves against similar companies. Grant’s most important contribution has been to help me meet the company’s goals while at the same time meeting my personal goals for a balanced and full life.

Job Contract Management

Construction contracts anticipate change because construction plans and specifications cannot perfectly represent the reality of field conditions. Differences between as-bid and as-built project constraints always arise.  The problem is, if you do not recognize changes,  notify the project’s owner of them, and properly document them, their cost and consequential damage to your operations will come out of your pocket – instead of contributing greatly to your bottom line.

This one-day in-house training session at your facilities provides you the know-how and the tools needed to properly handle job contract management. It was created specifically for construction companies in the infrastructure construction industry, particularly those in the highway, bridge, pipeline, underground utility, oil field construction services and site work segments.
