Project Management
Hill International offers extensive construction and project management services to
construction owners worldwide. Hill's claims experience gives us a unique
understanding of what can go wrong on a construction project. Hill uses this
knowledge to identify potential trouble spots on a project before they develop into
problems and recommends or initiates preventive action through strategic planning
and project controls. As construction project manager, Hill has managed all phases of
the construction process from pre-design through completion, including cost and
budget controls, scheduling, estimating, expediting, inspection, contract administration
and management of contractors, subcontractors and suppliers.
Construction Management
Successful construction management demands a detail-diligent approach, proactively
managed by professionals who have the experience, skills and technical support each
project demands. Hills professionals are not only credentialed; they have seasoned,
hands-on experience in the construction industry. This experience, gained in the
trenches of construction projects across the globe, gives our project teams the practical
knowledge they need to effectively manage virtually any type of capital project. Hills
CM teams include: construction managers, resident engineers, construction
superintendents, estimators, schedulers, inspectors, contract administrators and

Claims Consulting
Even the most carefully planned construction project can encounter claims. How
those claims are handled, however, can make a difference in the success of the
project. Hills approach to claims resolution is broad-based and relies on the participation
of Hills multi-disciplined staff of engineers, architects, attorneys, contract administrators,
construction managers, accountants and scheduling specialists.
Such a range of expertise is essential in analyzing the often complex liability, causation
and damage components of a claim. Hills technical and contract experts conduct a
detailed analysis of the claims, break them down event by event and issue by issue, to
help facilitate resolution. By reviewing and analyzing all relevant project documents
and performance data, our team can help get to the root of any dispute.

process and procedures. Through personal interviews, surveys, focus groups and on-site

for improvement, Hills team of experts will work with your management team
throughout the implementation process.
Hill provided project management services
for the construction of the Patricia and
Phillip Frost Museum of Science. The
250,000-square-foot museum is located
within downtown Miami's 28-acre
Museum Park. The museum affords
stunning views of Biscayne Bay, and will
be a landmark in Miami's downtown
cultural quarter.
Hill provided construction management and supervision services for the new Midfield Terminal Complex at Abu Dhabi International Airport in
Abu Dhabi, UAE. Abu Dhabi International Airport is the primary gateway to the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
The best way to manage construction claims is to stop them before they happen.
Claims avoidance begins with expert analysis of all project plans and documentation
before construction starts. A thorough technical plan review will help eliminate
ambiguities and bring potential claims triggers to the surface. Even with the best
claims avoidance strategies, disputes may still arise. Hill employs a team of world
renowned experts in almost every construction discipline to help avoid and if necessary
resolve disputes in the most expedient, equitable way possible. Hill serves in an advisory capacity helping clients to quickly resolve disputes before litigation, acting as
adjudicator or mediator.
Litigation Support
Should litigation be unavoidable, Hill provides claims analysis and technical support
to clients and their legal counsel. We help prepare issue files and requests for
admission, answer and prepare interrogatories, and assist in depositions. Hills experts
also provide expert witness testimony and often present the claims analysis work weve
done through expert reports. Our engineers, architects, contract administrators,
construction managers, certified cost engineers and schedulers possess highly
specialized skills in all phases of the construction process. They offer vast experience
preparing and rebutting requests for additional compensation and time extensions, as
well as other issues surrounding construction disputes. As experts, they provide
insightful recommendations which consider the competing issues and provide credible,
objective analysis of our clients position.

Hill provided Owners Representative
Services for the construction of the
$162-million Falmouth Cruise Ship
Port project. Located in the parish of

Hill provided project and construction management services for the National Aeronautics and Space Administrations (NASA) 15-year facility modernization program at its Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, known as New Town. The first project awarded under the program was
the design-build Langley Headquarters Building, known as Administrative Office Building 1 (AOB1).
Project Neutral
As construction budgets and schedules for completion continue to tighten, todays
construction projects are increasingly fraught with tremendous risk. Disputes over even
the smallest of issues can quickly escalate, with crippling consequences to the parties
involved and the project itself. The Project Neutral is a unique form of alternative
dispute resolution (ADR) developed by Hill that blends technical analysis and mediation
services to help parties reach a fair, negotiated settlement swiftly, inexpensively and
without contention. Retained jointly by the parties, Hill objectively assesses the issues
in dispute and presents its findings to both parties. On the basis of their findings, a
trained mediator leads the Hill team in moving projects toward a negotiated
settlement. This process allows both sides, and their counsel, to maintain control of the
process and the resulting settlement.

Client Testimonials
The greatest foundation for the future success of a professional services firm is exceeding the expectations of its clients.
Here are just a few of the comments made by our clients regarding our performance on their behalf
"I am very pleased with the consultants that were provided by Hill International.
Hospital construction projects have complex M-E-P systems and construction
requirements and require more diligence and expertise than many other types of
construction. The Hill consultants were very professional, motivated consultants that
possessed a wide variety of skill sets."
Mike Smith
Director of Facility Planning
Methodist Hospital Construction, TX
"On behalf of Al Maabar Libya I would like to offer our utmost appreciation for the
exemplary project management services that Hill International provided at our Al
Waha Complex from June 2008 to January 2010. Hill International provided a highly
qualified and experienced professional team who successfully effected the following
disciplines to the highest quality: programming; architectural; structural and service
design review and management; and contractual."
Emhemmed Ghula
Acting General Manager
Al Maabar Libya
"Hill International joined the construction team at Burlington City High School at a
time when the project was withering on the vine, about to be choked by an
incompetent state bureaucracy, an uncooperative architect and a general contractor
who cared about nothing except extracting as much money as they could from the
owner. Hill was instrumental in pulling the project out of the abyss and steering it to
a successful completion."
James J. Countryman
Facilities Manager
City of Burlington NJ Public Schools
"It was very easy to work with the team provided by Hill. Hill's attention to detail
has helped us achieve fair and reasonable results for the nearly 100 proposed change
orders negotiated on DCPL's behalf. The project was delivered under-budget and with
substantial savings."
Dedric Boyd
Project Manager
District of Columbia Public Library
"Hill's technical expertise, attention to detail, and ability to work with the Owner and
General Contractor, was a key component in delivering this successful project. Hill's
efforts, and the efforts of primary contractors Hill managed, were an important part
of the success of the entire project."
Paul Witherspoon,
Project Manager
U.S. General Services Administration
Hill's team went in harms way on a daily basis to create a solid program under the
most difficult pressures I have experienced in my 45-year career in the military and
on the outside. I am firmly convinced that the Stanley Baker Hill (SBH) team has been
an invaluable resource to our country, to Iraq, and to the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers during that time span that they have all worked together on the Iraq
Reconstruction Program."
David J. Nash
Former Director
Iraq Project Management Office
"The complicated logistics of performing a ground-floor reconstruction while the
building remained occupied were very well-executed by the Construction Manager.
The project was completed in time for a critical exhibit opening to the joyous acclaim
by the museum and its patrons and with remarkably little complaints from building
users during construction".
Michael Nastasi
Program Director
New York City Department of Design and Construction
"We've all struggled through a lot together in our team effort to design and
construct safe, secure and sustainable "in vitro" and "in vivo" laboratory. My
sincerest thanks go out to all of the individuals at Hill who provided me with the
support I needed to be successful on the six grants that I directly administered for
NIAID."
Ambrose "Buck" Lewis
Program Officer
National Institutes of Health
"Hill was vital in the successful management, execution and timely completion of the
$102-million Trenton-Morrisville (Route 1) Toll Bridge Rehabilitation and Widening
Project. Throughout the project, Hill successfully enabled the DRJTBC to fulfill its
public-service mission with a conscientious and professional approach to the project."
"Hill built and led the team assigned to provide cost management services for the
Birmingham Airport Terminal and played a vital role in the cost containment for the
project team. Hill International's knowledge of the design and construction process
and their professional approach to challenging issues has greatly enhanced the
success of our projects."
In addition, we have provided our services to private owners and developers around
the world, including many Fortune 500 companies. With over 10,000 successfully
