Jobs in Asheville

Point Construction Advisory Group, LLC (POINT) is a construction consulting firm that operates as an unbiased third-party advisor to owners, general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and attorneys. Although we like to be involved at the onset of a construction project to help our clients optimize their project management, we are typically retained to analyze changes, critical path delays, productivity losses, and other items causing increased costs, and assist the various entities to understand who caused and is responsible for those issues. Our clients are often entering or involved in active litigation proceedings. Our goal in working with clients is to assist with reaching settlement terms that are acceptable without costly litigation but, if an agreement cannot be reached, we then compile our findings into an expert report that will be used during litigation.

POINT’s past projects range from $3.4M to over $16B, and varied from high-rise buildings in Miami, highways in California, water pipelines in Australia, laboratories in Antarctica, and some of the largest refineries in the world. We are headquartered in Asheville, NC, but we serve clients all over the world, wherever and whenever they need us (most work is performed remotely rather than on the job site).
