Reduce the risk of budget and timeline blowouts on your construction projects.
Have greater control over the construction process, and stop hemorrhaging cash during construction.
Create project clarity to improve your profitability and reputation.
How is it that nobody has ever created a system to tackle the large-scale, seemingly inbred problems of the construction industry?
We’re talking about incompetence, corruption, blame-shifting and overspending, which results in projects across all asset classes ending up behind schedule and over-budget.
As risk management specialists, we devised a management process which dramatically reduces the possibility of unreliable contractors ‘gaming the system’. As a result of this solution, the build process is managed from “cradle to grave”, and everyone is held accountable for staying on top of costs and timelines.

Construction Mindset Scorecard Quiz today!
After an extensive career in loss prevention and risk management for architecture and engineering firms, Steve has seen one too many owners “get screwed” due to the unpredictable nature of the construction industry.
Determined to devise a solution, Steve turned his attention to solving the industry’s ‘unsolvable
problem’ and developed a method to control the budget, schedule and quality of large-scale construction projects.
Steve is passionate about protecting his
clients, solving their problems, and helping them become successful. He created the Risk Free Construction Solution™ to achieve this on a national basis.
We follow a tested six-step system to take the guesswork out of construction projects.
Actuaries, architects, engineers, building experts,
and financial professionals provide an in-depth
analysis of your project’s viability.
Timing, sequencing, clash detection, procurement timelines, logistical concerns and staffing requirements are established prior to construction commencing, with your project being
virtually ‘built’ 5-6 times in a computer laboratory.
Optimising the sequencing of construction by revealing potential pitfalls dramatically reduces the number and magnitude of change orders. Everything is planned in
advance, giving greater control and predictability over the outcome.
Risk Free Construction Solution™ analyses each bid to create transparency, putting you in a stronger position of understanding the bids, bidders and their subcontractors.
Each tender is carefully examined to expose possible
loopholes and assess the contractor and its
subcontractors. Armed with an understanding of each
provider and knowledge of appropriate costs, you are
in a better position to negotiate.
This virtual sequencing is given as a formula to your contractor, who executes the construction as if it were an assembly line. This allows your project to minimize delays and additional costs associated with them. The progress of construction is monitored on a daily basis, providing greater transparency and contractor accountability.
The optimized sequencing of the Predictability
Approach™ is executed during this phase to create greater predictability of your project’s outcome.
Risk Free’s proprietary Quality Management™ strategies force greater contractor accountability.
Leveraging the required information around the submittal schedule, RFI’s and substitution requests, shifts the flow of information back to the design team, vastly improving the quality of construction.
Change is inevitable on construction projects. Risk Free Construction Solution™ gets in front of change orders by assessing the cost of change before it happens and determines the true cost of the materials and
labor required.
With the help of the project’s Virtual Twin, design teams and owners have greater control and
predictability around change management,
and you can feel confident extra costs remain stable.
By creating greater predictability, Risk Free Construction Solution™ can insure your project through its
Funding Solution™
The Funding Solution™ protects owners from non-owner generated change orders, as well as other unexpected costs that could disrupt the construction process.
As a result, lenders are less concerned about the
unpredictable nature of your project.
At the completion of your project, your CM/general contractor and subcontractors are assessed to
understand the performance of the company
and its people.
This puts you in a stronger position to select a
contractor and its subs on your next project.
Great companies rely on optimization and accountability at every level.
It’s time construction projects did the same.
Every detail is planned in advance, including costs, sequencing, procurement timelines and personnel requirements.
A digital replica identifies potential pain points and project roadblocks prior to costly change orders and re-work.
