Defining the project and scope of work along with developing accurate and realistic budgets is an important part of the planning process. Often times the engineering drawings and budgets become the exhibits in turnkey contracts.

We are experienced working with large contractors on complicated job sites with access and other infrastructure challenges. Defining who does what and carefully watching the overlap areas of responsibility help set expectations properly.

SMI has completed contract language that ranges from simple to very lengthy. The contracts protect both parties and define the details in a professional manner.Schedules and Contracts
