Return on Investment

Owners routinely choose geotechnical consultants based on fee and forget to consider the advantages that spending just a few more dollars in the design stage can bring to the project.

Many times, additional field and lab tests can save an owner thousands of dollars in foundation costs with a minimal initial investment. The ROI can easily range from 10X to 100X depending on the scope of the project. This money can be used to enhance other parts of the project or just be transferred to the bottom line.

Several examples and case studies will be presented to illustrate how Geotechnical Engineers can save the owner money and reduce risks for the entire design and construction team without sacrificing quality. Lower project costs means more projects which is good for everyone.
