Most view these consequences as the “cost of doing business” on construction projects, no matter the size. But not when LePatner is on your team.

LePatner is unique in the industry. Founded as a construction law firm in 1980 representing architects and engineers, we now primarily represent building owners, developers, and investors undertaking capital projects. Today, LePatner & Associates LLP and LePatner Project Solutions LLC are a powerful combination that seamlessly provides owners with a continuum of business advisory, legal, and project management services from project conception and team formation to design, construction, and occupancy.

For decades, the construction industry has deemed fast-track and its resulting delays and cost overruns to be the norm. Owners have had little defense. LePatner acts proactively on behalf of its clients to protect their financial and business interests while minimizing risk. We put clients on an equal footing with their contractors when negotiating the cost of their projects, large or small.

Known in the industry as thought leaders and creators of the LePatner C³™ methodology, we enable our clients to complete their projects for a true fixed price, on time and on budget. We are proud of our 35-year legacy of helping our clients achieve positive, cost-effective results on their capital projects.

Owner Representation & Project Management Services

A good contract only gets you so far in today’s hot construction environment. Experienced project management is a must to ensure that you – not your consultants or contractors – remain in control of the project.

LePatner Project Solutions, LLC is the project management firm that offers something to owners they haven’t had in decades—control. Control over their budgets, control over their schedules, and control over the project risk they assume. The continuum of services LPS provides enables owners to build smarter and more efficiently. LPS understands that owners crave transparency and an equitable allocation of risk in what is an increasingly fragmented, complex and opaque building process.

Whether it’s new construction, gut renovation, close-outs, or forensic investigations, our team provides a comprehensive and sophisticated understanding of the design and construction process and knows how to navigate that process to return project control to the owner.
