James “Jim” Wells has 30 years of experience in civil, structural, and environmental engineering.  He has worked on projects involving planning, design, permitting, construction administration, and field representation, as well as being involved in disputes resolution, claims analysis, and complex CPM schedule analysis. Jim has completed time impact analyses for claims on projects such as entertainment complexes, hospitals, transportation facilities, courthouse complexes, utility pipeline, stormwater retention projects and marine construction.  He developed and maintained CPM schedules for transportation facilities, hospitals, condominiums, and energy production facilities. He provided support in the schedule analysis to assess the nearly $200 million dollar cost proposal and subsequent claim for a transportation project. He gave project scheduling support to a surety pursuant to a takeover of the construction of a 550,000 square foot psychiatric hospital.  Jim analyzed the schedule at the time of the takeover, visited the project site to determine the status of construction, and supported the preparation of a completion schedule. Subsequently, he provided support in the development of schedule updates on a bi-weekly basis to monitor progress, identify issues and recommend ways to mitigate any delays.
