services designed to successfully implement capital projects while minimizing risk and
delivering quality services on time and on schedule.
Hill offers the following project management services: project management, program
management, construction management, project management oversight, troubled

consulting.
Program Management
Hill's comprehensive program management services can help you keep multiple,
interrelated projects in sync, on time and within budget. We help owners, financial
institutions, sureties and others reduce the uncertainty and risk in their capital
programs. Hill's program managers review every detail of all projects, set-up objectives,
plans and priorities, manage and control the process, and identify and resolve problems.
Our experienced professionals and technical resources work with the client to define,
plan, implement and integrate every aspect of each project. When managing an entire
multi-disciplinary program our service improves timing, cost and quality. Our client
benefits from a single point of management responsibility for planning, design
management, permitting compliance, construction management and ongoing operations
services.
Project Management
Hill International offers extensive construction and project management services to
construction owners worldwide. Hill's claims experience gives us a unique understanding
of what can go wrong on a construction project. Hill uses this knowledge to identify
potential trouble spots on a project before they develop into problems and recommends
or initiates preventive action through strategic planning and project controls. As
construction project manager, Hill has managed all phases of the construction process
from pre-design through completion, including cost and budget controls, scheduling,
estimating, expediting, inspection, contract administration and management of
contractors, subcontractors and suppliers.

6. Construction Management
Successful construction management demands a detail-diligent approach, proactively
managed by professionals who have the experience, skills and technical support each
project demands. Hill’s professionals are not only credentialed; they have seasoned, hands-
on experience in the construction industry. This experience, gained in the trenches of
construction projects across the globe, gives our project teams the practical knowledge
they need to effectively manage virtually any type of capital project. Hill’s CM teams
include: construction managers, resident engineers, construction superintendents,
estimators, schedulers, inspectors, contract administrators and construction claims
avoidance experts.
Project Management Oversight
Our project management oversight (PMO) services support project success by
independently anticipating problems, identifying setbacks and recommending solutions in
every area of construction. This is the essence of PMO; to give clients objective information
allowing them to make prudent decisions about key issues before major problems occur.
Hill’s PMO teams provide timely and objective reporting, from evaluating the performance
of the construction manager, designer and contractors, to monitoring schedules and
analyzing costs. Teams include specialists in all phases of construction, so that the myriad
events that occur on a project can be assessed and evaluated in a timely way by the right
expert. Because Hill’s staff includes experts who are leaders in their disciplines, our clients
benefit from strong recommendations, which are both technically and financially sound.
Troubled Project Turnaround
While project management is used most cost-effectively before construction begins, it is
also used to regain control after serious problems have caused delays or overruns. When
retained under these circumstances, Hill assembles a team that can most expediently
address critical needs. Hill’s turnaround team designs new schedules, creates new plans,
and implements procedures to get the project back on track. In addition, Hill’s experience
in construction claims means our turnaround team can mitigate and resolve claims, without
impeding newly established project schedules.
Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Health selected Hill

7. Staff Augmentation
Not all of today's organizations have the internal resources to handle every type of
assignment. Hill's experienced project managers, construction managers, engineers,
architects, designers, schedulers, financial analysts, contract administrators and
other professionals are available at a moment’s notice to staff virtually any type of
project at any phase. Hill's staff augmentation teams are put together based upon
the unique needs of each individual assignment and are available for durations that
range from days to years. Our professionals take a results-driven, yet cooperative,
approach to meeting our clients' goals, and effectively complement existing
permanent staff throughout the globe.
Project Labor Agreements
Hill helps both public and private organizations who have large, complex
construction projects save time and money through a type of collective bargaining
agreement called a Project Labor Agreement (PLA). PLAs create efficiencies through
standardization of project participant contracts. They help avoid conflict issues
between contractors who are working a large project and help protect against strike
conditions. Hill will work with all parties on the project, including owners,
contractors and unions to unify their contractual relationship. The end result is a
tremendous savings in both time and money through standardization efficiency.

8. Construction Claims and Consulting
Hill International is a world leader in construction claims consulting having participated in
over 50,000 disputes valued in excess of US$100 billion. Hill has developed an
international reputation for its innovative approaches to preventing and resolving time and
cost overruns on major construction projects worldwide. Hill offers its clients a full
spectrum of construction claims services enabling them to complete construction on-time
and within budget, while minimizing claims and other problems. Hill’s consulting services
include: Claims Consulting, Litigation Support, Expert Witness Testimony, Cost and
Damages Assessment, Construction Assurance, Delay and Disruption Analysis, Project
Neutral® and Risk Management Services.
Claims Consulting
Even the most carefully planned construction project can encounter claims. How those
claims are handled, however, can make a difference in the success of the project. Hill’s
approach to claims resolution is broad-based and relies on the participation of Hill’s multi-
disciplined staff of engineers, architects, attorneys, contract administrators, construction
managers, accountants and scheduling specialists.
Such a range of expertise is essential in analyzing the often complex liability, causation
and damage components of a claim. Hill’s technical and contract experts conduct a
detailed analysis of the claims, break them down event by event and issue by issue, to
help facilitate resolution. By reviewing and analyzing all relevant project documents and
performance data, our team can help get to the root of any dispute.
Management Consulting
Hill can assist with evaluating the efficiency of your organization’s management process
and procedures. Through personal interviews, surveys, focus groups and on-site
observation, Hill will provide a detailed report of our findings. We will make
recommendations on how to optimize resources, reduce process bottlenecks and use
technology tools to improve productivity. After turning every stone to find potential areas
for improvement, Hill’s team of experts will work with your management team throughout
the implementation process.

Metro Phase Green Line Underground Works
Project in Doha, Qatar. The 19-km under-
ground and 3.3-km elevated section of track,

fully functional transit system.
9. Claims Avoidance and Dispute Resolution
The best way to manage construction claims is to stop them before they happen.
Claims avoidance begins with expert analysis of all project plans and documentation
before construction starts. A thorough technical plan review will help eliminate
ambiguities and bring potential claims triggers to the surface. Even with the best
claims avoidance strategies, disputes may still arise. Hill employs a team of world
renowned experts in almost every construction discipline to help avoid and if
necessary resolve disputes in the most expedient, equitable way possible. Hill
serves in an advi-sory capacity helping clients to quickly resolve disputes before
litigation, acting as adjudicator or mediator.
Litigation Support
Should litigation be unavoidable, Hill provides claims analysis and technical support
to clients and their legal counsel. We help prepare issue files and requests for
admission, answer and prepare interrogatories, and assist in depositions. Hill’s
experts also provide expert witness testimony and often present the claims analysis
work we’ve done through expert reports. Our engineers, architects, contract
administrators, construction managers, certified cost engineers and schedulers
possess highly specialized skills in all phases of the construction process. They offer
vast experience preparing and rebutting requests for additional compensation and
time extensions, as well as other issues surrounding construction disputes. As
experts, they provide insightful recommendations which consider the competing
issues and provide credible, objective analysis of our client’s position.
Page 9
10. Expert Witness Testimony
Hill’s staff includes hundreds of experts with vast experience in every industry sector and
discipline; they have the technical skills on hand to quickly get to the heart of even the most
complex issues. When litigation requires an expert to testify, Hill has a thorough
understanding of this process and will assign an appropriate expert with the experience and
expertise relevant to the client’s requirements. All experts are carefully screened for
availability and cleared of conflicts before being submitted for consideration by the client.
Cost and Damages Assessment
Hill’s approach to evaluating cost and damages begins with a performance audit of the
contractor’s costs. Based on the results of its claim analysis and audit, Hill then prepares an
independent estimate of costs the contractor may be entitled to recover under the
appropriate remedy granting clause of the contract (e.g., suspension of work, differing site
conditions, changes clause) or under alternative breach of contract or tort theories. The
damage review will include an analysis of the contractor’s efforts to mitigate its damages,
evaluation of its cost accounting system, and analysis of the propriety of the method
employed to calculate damages. Hill routinely utilizes its staff’s expertise in construction
accounting, cost engineering, estimating and project change orders, total job costs, and
related cost data.
Construction Advisory
Hill’s Construction Advisory team offers independent, objective auditing and advisory
services focused on reducing financial and operational risk on major construction projects
and establishing accountability at all management levels. Worldwide experience managing
risk on some of the world’s largest, most complex projects make Hill uniquely qualified to
advise on any type of construction project from a financial, schedule or operational
perspective. Construction Advisory is a customized approach to managing risk that
incorporates services and lessons learned from over 35 years of managing construction risk.
With thousands of professionals working throughout the world, our consultants provides
expert and actionable advice through audits, assessments and evaluations that identify and
mitigate risk, monitor compliance, and objectively report on project performance.
Construction Advisory clients include both private and public company’s board of directors,
governmental agencies, financial institutions, insurance/surety companies, and other entities
responsible for mega projects

11. Delay and Disruption Analysis
A team of Hill professionals with in-depth industry experience will evaluate
your project’s schedule and identify all possible pitfalls in scope, logic,
sequence and duration. They will help sort out critical vs. non-critical
activities, evaluate resource loading and perform “What If” and “Time-
Window Based” analysis. Hill’s experts utilize the most sophisticated methods
for establishing and evaluating schedule conflicts, analyzing
delays/acceleration, conducting productivity analysis, auditing costs and
determining damages.
Project Neutral
As construction budgets and schedules for completion continue to tighten,
today’s construction projects are increasingly fraught with tremendous risk.
Disputes over even the smallest of issues can quickly escalate, with crippling
consequences to the parties involved and the project itself. The Project
Neutral® is a unique form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) developed
by Hill that blends technical analysis and mediation services to help parties
reach a fair, negotiated settlement swiftly, inexpensively and without
contention. Retained jointly by the parties, Hill objectively assesses the issues
in dispute and presents its findings to both parties. On the basis of their
findings, a trained mediator leads the Hill team in moving projects toward a
negotiated settlement. This process allows both sides, and their counsel, to
maintain control of the process and the resulting settlement.
