The governance layer above coordination.

Most VDC consultants assume the organizational structure is already correct and work on tools, workflows, and training from there. I work at the layer upstream — where the structural decisions that determine whether any of that sticks actually live.

The deliverable is structural clarity — the kind that survives personnel changes and produces outcomes leadership can predict.

What I Offer

VDC Operating Model Design

The core engagement. Diagnose the gap between the outcomes leadership expects from VDC and the structure the organization has built around it. Design the operating model — placement, authority, governance, and accountability — that closes the gap and survives personnel changes.

What you get

You get a clear, leadership-legible picture of where the gap is and what's causing it, an operating model design that survives personnel changes, and a sequenced implementation roadmap with the change management approach to match. Implementation support is available when you want it — designed to transfer capability, not extend the engagement.

Complementary capabilities

AI & Automation Advisory

Strategic advisory on AI adoption in construction — evaluating tools against actual workflows, diagnosing why a pilot stalled, structuring the operational decisions that determine whether AI investments produce results. Not tool deployment.

What you get

You get use case identification grounded in your actual workflows, vendor and platform evaluation against the decision points that matter, and workflow redesign before any tool gets deployed — plus governance design for running AI in production environments.

Last Planner System®

Implementation and governance design for Last Planner System® — the production planning methodology that connects VDC digital delivery to field execution. Particularly effective when combined with VDC operating model design.

What you get

You get a pull planning structure designed for your project type, integrated with prefabrication and field operations, and governance that holds across project handoffs.

Strategic Decision Support

Ad-hoc advisory for specific organizational decisions — evaluating a platform investment, structuring a new VDC role, responding to an owner's digital delivery requirements. Delivered as a defined scope, not an open-ended retainer.

What you get

You get pre-investment technology evaluation, VDC leader role design with hiring support, and a structured response to owner digital deliverable requirements.

Pursuit Advisory

Strategy and governance for complex public pursuits — defining what the win turns on, building the team's differentiated story, and governing the submission so the artifact set is whole before the window closes. Not proposal production. The upstream decisions that determine whether a capable team's submission reflects how well it has already thought the project through.

What you get

You get a clear win thesis and the specific points the submission has to prove, a differentiated story carried by the team's own exhibits rather than a template, and a governed artifact set that's assembled and coherent before the window closes. Interview and shortlist preparation stays focused on what actually moves the panel.

Who This Is For

Three groups consistently benefit from this work.

General Contractors

Mid-size to large GCs rebuilding VDC capability into something operationally durable — typically after growth, leadership transitions, or a recognition that the current structure can't produce the outcomes leadership expects.

Hospital & University Capital Programs

Owner-side capital programs running healthcare, research, and institutional projects where coordination governance affects accreditation, opening dates, and patient care.

CM and Owner's Rep Principals

Advising owners on project readiness before GC selection — particularly when project complexity or duration warrants structural diagnosis upstream.

Engagements are scoped individually.

Every engagement is scoped individually based on organizational complexity. Most begin with a 30-minute diagnostic conversation before a proposal is drafted.
