3Chairman’s Message

When I founded Hill International in 1976, I recognized that many ownersand contractors of major construction projects were spending too muchtime in litigation. I built Hill International on the premise that many con-

struction claims could be avoided, mitigated or resolved utilizing the appropriateexpertise. We grew by hiring experienced professionals in varying disciplines withunquestionable integrity and exceptional skills. As a result, Hill became one of thelargest construction claims consulting firms in the world.

It wasn't long before we realized that Hill could be more than a reactive resolver ofdisputes and could become a proactive solver of problems before they arise. With thebest professionals in the construction industry, Hill began providing projectmanagement services. Hill fast became one of the top project and constructionmanagement companies in the world, having successfully managed some of thelargest, most complex construction projects all over the globe.

Today, Hill is an international multi-disciplinary consulting firm serving private clients,governments, and international development agencies, offering a wide range ofservices from feasibility studies and development planning to project and constructionmanagement to claims analysis and litigation support.

Our formula is simple: we hire the best people, understand our client's needs andobjectives, then take ownership of each and every project that we are involved in. Nomatter how large or small our role is in a project, our mission is to exceed our client'sexpectations in every way possible. Our history is defined by thousands of successfulprojects. Our future is defined by the success of your next project.

Cordially,

Irvin E. Richter, F.CMAAChairman and CEO

Project Management

Construction Management

Successful construction management demands a detail-diligent approach, proactivelymanaged by professionals who have the experience, skills and technical support eachproject demands. Hill’s professionals are not only credentialed; they have seasoned,hands-on experience in the construction industry.

Project Management Oversight

Our project management oversight (PMO) services support project success by inde-pendently anticipating problems, identifying setbacks and recommending solutions inevery area of construction. This is the essence of PMO; to give clients objective infor-mation allowing them to make prudent decisions about key issues before major prob-lems occur. Hill’s PMO teams provide timely and objective reporting, from evaluating theperformance of the construction manager, designer and contractors, to monitoringschedules and analyzing costs. Teams include specialists in all phases of construction, sothat the myriad events that occur on a project can be assessed and evaluated in a timelyway by the right expert. Because Hill’s staff includes experts who are leaders in theirdisciplines, our clients benefit from strong recommendations, which are both technicallyand 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 expe-diently address critical needs. Hill’s turnaround team designs new schedules, createsnew plans, and implements procedures to get the project back on track.
