Mechanical construction expertise that generalist consultants simply cannot replicate on complex MEP claims.
DBA credentials and MBA-level teaching experience inform our analytical frameworks and written work product.
Every analysis is built to withstand scrutiny — in mediation, arbitration, or litigation.
FJS Consulting Group LLC was founded on a straightforward premise: construction disputes deserve expert analysis, not generic consulting. Principal Francis J. Stevens brings more than four decades of hands-on mechanical construction experience — from field operations through executive leadership as Vice President of Construction — to every engagement.
That depth of practical experience translates directly into more credible delay analyses, more defensible expert opinions, and more effective pre-construction guidance. We know what it looks like when a schedule is manipulated, when a contractor is denied critical path information, and when a subcontractor's float is improperly consumed — because we've lived it from every side of the table.
FJS Consulting serves mechanical and specialty subcontractors, general contractors, construction managers, and the legal teams who represent them. Our work product is built to be read by judges, arbitrators, and opposing experts — and to hold up under that scrutiny.
We are based in the Mid-Atlantic region and serve clients nationally.
Whether you're facing a delay claim, need a schedule reviewed before signing, or require expert witness support — we'd like to hear from you.
