Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most common issues?

Communication, overwhelmed Owners / Management, lack of strategic vision and promotion of inept/unqualified people within the firm.

What do we specialize in?

We provide insight and access to specialized  Government Contract Opportunities/vehicles that 99% of construction firms have no knowledge of, nor where to start, how to ask the right questions during an interview, logistics (review designs and plot best paths forward), margin capture, how to mentor and retain valued employees and improve company culture. Another challenge is being proactive instead of reactive to an ever changing landscape. These are the main issues we encounter daily and Spectrum Consulting offers many more service lines. Contact us for more information.

Why Spectrum Consulting?

Spectrum Consulting is comprised of Owners / Executives who all started at the bottom of the construction market and each of us has worked our way up without missing rungs on the ladder. We don't use buzz words or catch phases as we rely upon earned  knowledge, experience and engrained fundamentals to provide accurate and logical results.

What is the normal process ?

In most instances, multiple issues are present  with many unforeseen problems coming into view. Spectrum Consulting will utilize a domino approach  in which identification of  the focal issue with  the strongest linkage to other problems is analyzed and corrected. We don't utilize the overwhelm approach as it is counter productive, confusing and actually creates chaos. We will help turn your company around with gradual degrees of change that provide the path of least resistance. Imagine turning an aircraft carrier 180 degrees in a minute, the ship will  turn, although the interior will be damaged with spills, broken equipment and injured crew. Most likely planes have fallen off the deck and the crew is in a ready state of mutiny. That is the approach most consultants utilize without recognizing the collateral damage inflicted.

What are the terms and conditions?

Spectrum Consulting is retainer based. We can offer specific project services that require contract review for payment terms and acceptance. Contact us for more information.

Experience of staff?

Each valued team member of Spectrum Consulting has at least 20-30 years of construction experience before being vetted as a  representative. Our knowledge and experience sets us apart in the construction consulting field.

What about Hiring Services?

If your firm is currently under a retainer service agreement, we will engage, locate, and vet candidates.
