Negotiating a fair enforceable contract and ensuring that you are billed appropriately sounds deceptively simple, yet but often proves to be frustrating and complex for Owners. Fortunately, our team has audited and managed contracts within the construction manager at risk, and integrated project delivery model with excellence for decades.
Over the years, Owners of more than 3,000 construction projects valued at more than $50 billion have benefited from our team’s expertise with well over $200 million being recovered by our Owner and CM clients. No audit firm has worked on more projects in more locations or for more owners and contractors than HPM.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
Although HPM is highly specialized in our auditing and contract service expertise, we also offer a wide variety of other services covering the entire construction cycle that ensures that we will meet all our client’s needs. The team provides the full range of services an Owner needs from formulating a construction RFP to auditing the final construction cost.
“HPM’s Audit Division brought a level of experience and expertise to our project that we didn’t believe existed.”
Larry Nelson, Director, Design and Construction, Caesar’s Entertainment
“I have worked with Vince Chapman and HPM’s Construction Audit & Advisory Services team for more than 15 years. This group is comprised of some of the most knowledgeable professionals that I have had the pleasure of working with. Their collective background runs the entire scope of program management, and they serve as invaluable professionals starting with design and continuing through construction and close out. Attention to detail and contract language is the key to HPM’s success.”
John Igoe, Senior Director Development (Retired), Google

The nationally recognized Audit and Contract Services team is led by Vinson Chapman, along with principals Jake Ortego and Antonio Fratangelo. Vince and his team have been providing construction auditing and construction contract advisory services since 1988.
All HPM principals and associates are seasoned employees who have formerly worked at the highest levels of accounting and project management for large construction managers or engineering firms and therefore have firsthand knowledge of the construction industry and its costing approaches. We have no junior auditors or cost control consultants.
