Overview:
As part of a broader $1.5 billion healthcare expansion initiative, Precision Scheduling Consultants delivered critical construction claims and dispute resolution services for the Jackson Health System’s Medical Center in Miami, Florida. With an estimated budget of $48.6 million, the project focused on upgrading essential infrastructure to meet the facility’s growing needs and compliance standards.
Specifically, the scope involved modernizing electrical and low-voltage systems in several key areas, including:
- The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) buildout
- The Second Floor
- The new Pediatric Emergency Department
- The Behavioral Health (BH) Unit
These upgrades played a vital role in enhancing operational efficiency, patient safety, and service delivery across the facility.
Our Role – Precision Scheduling Consultants
From the outset, Precision took a proactive approach to risk management and dispute resolution. Moreover, drawing on decades of hands-on industry experience, our expert team guided the client through complex technical and contractual challenges.
To begin, we conducted a thorough forensic schedule delay analysis to identify disruptions and determine their impact on the critical path. Rather than simply highlighting issues, we traced each delay back to its root cause, assigning responsibility with clarity and accuracy.
Next, we managed all aspects of claims development. We prepared, analyzed, and documented claims with a focus on fairness and transparency. In doing so, we ensured that our client could make well-supported assertions based on contract terms and factual timelines.
Additionally, we quantified damages related to delays, disruption, and labor inefficiencies. Our calculations adhered to industry-recognized standards, enabling our client to present defensible claims in negotiations, mediations, or legal proceedings.
Throughout the process, we maintained close communication with project stakeholders, legal teams, and management. By doing so, we ensured alignment, avoided misunderstandings, and strengthened the client’s negotiation position.
