Service Offerings
Claims & Delay Analysis
If you’re owed time or money, it has to be proven.
We break down the delays, tie impact to responsibility, and build claims that stand on their own.
Project Scheduling
Your schedule supports your position.
We build and analyze schedules that clearly show impact, time entitlement, and responsibility when delays happen.
Contract
Disputes
When time or money is questioned, pushing harder doesn’t fix it. Facts do.
We structure the documentation and backup so your position holds up under review.
Operational Support
With over $1B of real infrastructure delivered, we tighten reporting and coordination so issues are documented correctly from day one.
Address problems early, before they turn into claims.
We Know How These Jobs Really Run
HGM Engineering was built by professional engineers who have helped deliver more than $1B in public infrastructure projects.
We’ve seen where
contractors get exposed:
• In schedules that don’t clearly show impact
• In documentation that doesn’t back up the position
• In delay analysis that doesn’t tie responsibility correctly
That’s why we focus on strengthening those areas before they cost you time or money.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the right time work with HGM?
The earlier, the better. If something feels unclear, weak, or likely to get challenged, that’s usually the time. The sooner schedules and documentation are reviewed, the stronger your position.
Do you only get involved in disputes?
No. We’re not limited to disputes. We step in early to structure schedules, documentation, and entitlement analysis and we also support active claims when time or money is already at risk.
Many contractors bring us in before problems escalate.
What if time or money is already being questioned?
That’s exactly when structured delay analysis and documentation matter most. We review the job, identify exposure, and help build a defensible position moving forward.
Will bringing you in slow the job down?
No. Our goal is to make things clearer and more structured, not create extra meetings or layers. We focus on what matters and keep it practical.
