I Save You Money on Stalled Projects

Thomas Burchett Consulting

I work with engineering, operations, and leadership teams to turn around delayed deliverables, prevent rework, and improve efficiency while maintaining high quality.

Drawing on 12 years in civil engineering and project management, I help organizations resolve delays and deliver work with confidence by identifying and addressing issues others overlook.

Consulting Focus

Fixing What Slows you Down

Permits get denied. Orders back up. Rework piles up from quality issues. These breakdowns cut into profit, frustrate teams, and drag high-priority work off course. I find the failure point, fix the breakdown, and get execution back on track.

Services

What I Do Best

Operational Assessment and Optimization

A detailed review of your operations to uncover the bottlenecks costing you time and money. I look at systems, roles, and transitions to tighten execution and protect quality. Examples range from improving quality control for pavement condition data collection to reducing production slowdowns in high-volume kitchens.

Project Recovery & Turnaround

When critical work falls behind or loses direction, I step in to restore momentum and get execution back on track. Whether the issue is technical, operational, or political, I manage the recovery while your team keeps moving. Examples range from resolving denied permits on land development projects to fixing breakdowns caused by vendors that lead to missed deadlines and cost overruns.

Targeted Problem-Solving

When critical problems need fast and focused attention, I solve the problem without bogging down your team. I troubleshoot recurring issues, fill capability gaps, and handle urgent tasks while your team stays focused. Examples range from fixing underperforming ad campaigns before more budget is lost to providing immediate support to understaffed teams.
