Find the risk before the GMP locks it in .

Independent preconstruction advisory for owners and developers.
What Sets Us Apart
Our Services

Decisions tested before they cost you

We work before the GMP, while there's still time to change the outcome. Independent review of cost, schedule, and constructability, so the commitments you make hold up in the field.

The expensive problems start in preconstruction. Not on site.

Before
the GMP
is where decisions are still cheap to change.
The Practice

Senior judgment, not a sales team

Reltic VDC is an independent practice, not a production house. You work directly with the person doing the analysis, before the GMP, while the decisions still cost a comment instead of a change order.
The best time to find a problem is before you've priced it.
Independent by design
Independent advisory

Reltic VDC holds no position in delivery. No software to sell, no design to defend, no construction to protect. The only question on the table is whether your project decisions hold up.

That independence is the whole point. You get a read on cost, schedule, and constructability from someone with nothing riding on the answer except being right.

The work happens before the price and the schedule are locked, while there’s still leverage to change the outcome. This is the window where a problem costs a comment, not a change order.

Once the GMP is signed, the same issue becomes a claim, a delay, or a fight. We work upstream of all of that.

You work with the person doing the analysis. No account manager, no junior team, no offshore handoff.

One senior advisor, accountable from first review to final recommendation. That’s what boutique means here.

Our Approach

We add value before the GMP, by finding the cost, schedule, and constructability risk while the decisions are still cheap to change.

Our Focus

We work in preconstruction, on the decisions that lock in cost and schedule. Not on site, not after the problem already exists.

Our Approach

Independent review of the model, the program, and the price. We use BIM, 4D, and 5D as analysis tools, not as the deliverable.

Our Experience

Senior practitioner judgment from both sides of the table, owner and contractor, applied before the commitments are signed.

Know the Moment to Bring Us In

Before you lock in a price and a schedule, we pressure-test what they’re actually built on, so the number you commit to holds up once construction starts.

Price Basis Review
We check the GMP against the design it's based on, exposing soft allowances and unpriced scope before signature.
Schedule-to-Cost Alignment
We confirm the program and the price tell the same story, so the date supports the number.
Contingency Stress-Test
We test the buffer against where this project type actually fails, so it holds when it's needed.

Long-lead and high-value packages get committed before anyone validates the sequence and scope behind them. We check before the money is spent.

Package Scope Gaps
We find the scope that falls between packages before it becomes a change order.
Procurement-to-Install Timing
We align buyout timing with the sequence, so lead times don't break the schedule.
Interface Risk
We flag where trades and systems collide before the packages are awarded.

A design change or owner-driven variation can cascade through cost and schedule. We size the real impact independently, before it’s absorbed unnoticed.

Change Impact Assessment
We trace what the change actually touches across cost, schedule, and coordination.
Cost & Time Exposure
We quantify the real exposure across cost and time, not just the obvious line item.
Position Before You Commit
We give you a defensible read well before you accept, price, or reject the change.
