Issues and Gaps Where Projects Break Down

The U.S. invests $1.3T annually in construction

Yet overruns, disputes, and documentation failures persist because the system is fragmented, and accountability is weak.

01

Closeout & Records Failures

When project documentation is incomplete or delayed, it can slow down final payments and extend bond release timelines.

02

Fraud & Cost Oversight Gaps

Duplicate billings, ghost subcontractors, and unchecked change orders are risks that can arise when owner’s don’t have access to the same cost data that large prime contractors use.

03

Project Delivery Risks

Project Delivery models such as Design-Build and P3 can offer efficiencies, but they may also limit the owner’s ability to guide design or make changes and can still result in significant cost and schedule impacts if not properly managed by owner’s representative.

04

Workforce Instability

Retirements, labor shortages, and training gaps can disrupt project schedules and contribute to higher costs.

05

Technology & Policy Divide

Many agencies still rely on limited digital tools or apply outdated polices, which can make it harder to manage today’s complex projects.

06

Schedule & Budget Overruns

Without third-party validation, costs and timelines may drift, sometimes resulting in significant cost overruns on projects.

OUR Management Services

Independent Risk Management Services

We deliver independent risk management across inspections, closeout compliance, fraud detection, and monitoring of project deliverables and project team performance, while accounting for external factors such as regulatory approvals, third-party jurisdictions, labor and material availability, and economic or catastrophic events. Our approach reduces exposures, minimizes disputes, and strengthens accountability throughout the project life cycle.

Risk Assurance

We manage project financial risks by identifying issues early, such as cost exposure, compliance gaps, and contractor defaults. Our Risk Assurance approach minimizes claims and protects capital throughout project delivery.

Project Assurance

We safeguard project execution by ensuring schedules, quality standards, and documentation remain on track. Project Assurance is designed for owners, developers, and agencies who need confidence that their projects will be delivered as promised. From early planning through closeout, our oversight prevents delays, disputes, and costly rework.

Owners & Agencies

We protect budgets and credibility with independent assurance, ensuring project deliverables match scope, contracts, and compliance requirements.

Sureties & Lenders

We protect sureties and lenders by safeguarding your investment and minimizing the impacts of claims, cost overruns or contractor default.

Investors & Capital Stakeholders

We safeguard decades of records and ensure new capital projects meet compliance standards, while helping adopt technology without upfront burden.

Contractors & Partners

We provide neutral validation of deliverables, strengthening trust between project teams and reducing disputes over scope, costs and performance.

Who We Serve

Verisight serves stakeholders across the infrastructure ecosystem, providing the independent voice that ensures accountability for every dollar invested.

About Verisight

Verisight Advisors was founded to close the gaps in today's construction oversight.  Even with experienced teams and modern delivery models, projects continue to suffer costs overruns, schedule delays, and disputes that erode public trust.

We provide independent assurance across inspections, closeout compliance, fraud detection, and contract performance monitoring.  Our approach also accounts for external forces beyond the client's control, from regulatory approvals and third-party jurisdictions to labor shortages, material costs, and catastrophic events.

By combining proven oversight methods with technology enabled tools, Verisight delivers transparency, reduces exposure, and strengthens, accountability, ensuring infrastructure investments deliver lasting value.

“Construction may look simple, but in reality it is complex. Risks must be identified up front, before they spiral.”

Frequently Asked Questions

01Does Design-Build replace the need for oversight?

No. More than half of Design-Build projects still overrun. Independentoversight reduces cost exposures by ensuring risks are identified and resolved before they escalate.On average, large infrastructure projects face cost overruns of 20-30% (McKinsey, GAO), which can mean tens of millions of dollars in added exposure.

02Can software tools take the place of independent oversight?

No. The construction software market is booming — valued at $9.9 billion in 2024, projected to hit $24.1 billion by 2032 (SNS Insider).But industry audits show that despite billings invested, cost and schedule performance has not significantly improved. Software capures data, oversight helps verify it. Verisight complements digital systems with independent review, reducing risk exposure when digital records or approvals are incomplete, inconsistent, or not fully aligned with field conditions or external factors.

03How do oversight services help reduce the risk of fraud?

Fraud isn’t always obvious. It can show up as duplicate billings, ghosts’ subcontractors, or inflated change orders. Oversight adds a layer of review, comparing contracts, schedules, and payments to ensure accuracy and accountability.

04What’s the best way to ensure drawings and records are stored securely?

In the past, asbuilts were often stored as paper blueprints, while some companies and agencies archived them on Mylar for durability. Paper drawings should be kept in a controlled environment, flat filed when possible, or rolled with care.Today, many drawings are scanned or stored in the cloud, but often without standardized cataloging or verification. Even when companies or agencies have a "formal" process, records are inconsistent , making drawings difficult to locate or retreive. Years later, when maintenance or future updates are needed, missing as-builts lead to delays, added costs, and for bond funded projects, compliance risks that can hold up surety release or trigger audit findings. Independent oversight ensuresdrawings are either properly stored in a controlled environment or digitized, verified, and retrievable when they're needed.

Founder’s Statement

With over 35 years in the construction industry, I have seen oversight gaps grow wider with each passing decade.  Experienced professionals are retiring, institutional knowledge is disappearing, and too many workers face insecurity once a project ends.

Agencies are turning to Design-Build and Public-Private-Partnerships (P3s) to deliver projects faster. But these models shift greater risk to owners and funders, and without strong, independent oversight, that risk turns into overruns and delays.

The truth is, there isn't just one gap.  There are numerous, compounding gaps:  missing documentation, costs that are impossible to validate, schedules that drift without warning, and policies that weren't designed for today's scale or complexity.  New technology, instead of simplifying the process, often magnifies the problem when owners don't' have the staff, training, or oversight systems to manage it.

And it's not only internal issues.  External forces from climate disasters and inflation to supply chain breakdowns and global uncertainty, adds layers of risk that no single project team can control.  The more I see, the clearer it becomes that sometimes the only action left is avoidance.  When risk compounds without accountability, communities, lenders, and agencies choose to step back, delay or abandon projects altogether.  That avoidance may be rational, but comes at a devasting cost: delayed schools, housing that never gets built, and infrastructure that fails to serve the public.

For me, this is not just business.  Verisight exists to prevent those situations, and to make sure avoidance is no longer the safest option.  Our mission is to protect every dollar invested while ensuring those dollars translate into real outcomes that strengthen families and neighborhoods.

Just as important, we must prepare the next generation.  Part of my mission is to ensure oversight and accountability comes with a training pipeline by giving younger professionals the tools, mentorship, and opportunities to step into leadership as the industry changes.  Communities thrive when people can trust that projects will be delivered, and when the next generation is equipped to carry that trust forward.
