Our company was founded in 1996, with the goal of serving our Clients first, and then letting everything else take care of itself. We have 3 founding partners, who all previously worked for Home Depot, basically doing the same thing for them that we still do today. Our idea was to make available all the expertise and skill utilized by one of the most admired companies in the nation, and to afford everyone the opportunity to do business on a level playing field where such sophisticated contracts and laws exist, and to do it in a manner where we were only paid for actual results. Our goal is to be fair and objective and to ensure everyone gets what they bargained for, whether they are the Owner, General Contractor, Tenant, or Landlord.
Our team consists of former licensed General Contractors, Engineers, Architects, a CPA with significant experience in commerical real estate, Property Managers, and Big 4 experts. We have been carefully assembling this team over the years in an effort to serve our clients at the highest level possible and to help mitigate the risks inherent in the construction and real estate processses. Think about this for a minute, if your general contractors and landlords hired full accounting staffs so they had the time to thoroughly review and audit every single page of your construction contracts and leases, essentially they would be paying more money to hire people to find billing mistakes which are typically not in their favor. Accordingly, their increase in payroll costs would result in decreased revenues, thereby compounding the negative affect on their bottom line.
CCC, Inc. has audited in excess of $1 billion in billed construction costs and thousands of commercial real estate leases, saving its clients many millions in the process. We have audited construction projects ranging from $300,000 to $400,000,000 and have earned cost reductions/recoveries for our clients as high as 10% of the project budget. Regardless of the contract type, whether cost-plus or lump sum, bid or negotiated, all contracts should be audited. We have earned for our clients significant savings on all contract types.
Due to the close relationship between our Construction Audit Services and Cost Segregation Studies, we recognized the great synergies between the two and the significant value we could add to our clients' bottom line. Accordingly, we went out and found highly skilled Cost Segregation Experts from the Big 4 firms and added them to our in-house team of experts, thereby affording us the ability to enhance our expert team even further, but more importantly, allowing us to further serve our clients.
Our clients consist of some of the largest private sector companies including retail, auto dealer, hospitality, healthcare, and development, as well as many public sector clients including universities, schools, healthcare, cities, counties, and states. However, we have been proud to serve all types of non-residential project owners, including family-owned businesses, retail, office, industrial, manufacturing, biotech, healthcare and sports arenas.
