Terms of Use
What this site is, what it is not, and what does and does not create a relationship between us.
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website located at www.corvenashby.com, including any pages, forms, materials, content, features, or services made available through the website (collectively, the “Website”).
The Website is operated by Corven & Ashby LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“Corven & Ashby,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Website.
1. Purpose of the Website
Corven & Ashby is an owner-side cost and risk advisory firm. We provide independent review services in connection with guaranteed maximum price (“GMP”) and construction manager at risk (“CM at Risk”) projects.
The Website is provided for general informational and business-development purposes only. Website content may describe our Pre-GMP Readiness Review, Schedule and Procurement Risk Review, Constructability and Interface Review, Cost and Change Exposure Assessment, lender or investment-committee memoranda, Costwitness, and related services.
Nothing on the Website constitutes an offer, proposal, engagement letter, scope of work, representation, warranty, guarantee, or commitment to provide advisory services. Any engagement is subject to a separate written agreement executed by Corven & Ashby and the client.
2. No Professional Advice or Reliance
The Website and all content made available through it are for general informational purposes only.
The Website does not provide legal, architectural, engineering, accounting, tax, insurance, investment, lending, construction-management, scheduling, quantity-surveying, payment-certification, building-code, permitting, safety, or other regulated professional advice.
You should not rely on Website content when making a legal, contractual, financial, investment, lending, procurement, construction, safety, scheduling, or project decision. You should obtain advice from appropriately qualified legal counsel, design professionals, contractors, lenders, insurers, accountants, and other advisers relevant to your circumstances.
Corven & Ashby does not warrant that a GMP is a true ceiling, that a construction project will be completed by a stated date or budget, that a project is buildable, that documents are complete or coordinated, or that all risks, scope gaps, claims, change orders, procurement issues, delays, or contingencies have been identified.
3. No Client Relationship
Your use of the Website, submission of a contact form, email, telephone call, or other communication with Corven & Ashby does not create a client relationship, professional relationship, fiduciary relationship, joint venture, agency relationship, or other contractual relationship.
A client relationship is created only through a written consulting agreement signed by an authorized representative of Corven & Ashby and the client.
4. Engagement of Advisory Services
Corven & Ashby’s advisory services may include independent analysis of information provided by a client or other authorized project participants. The specific scope, deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, schedule, fees, payment terms, permitted users, reliance rights, and limitations applicable to an engagement will be set out in the relevant written agreement and statement of work.
Unless a written agreement expressly states otherwise, Corven & Ashby:
- Does not price construction work or submit construction bids.
- Does not act for contractors on any project.
- Does not manage construction work, administer a construction contract, run project meetings, or direct the means, methods, sequences, techniques, or safety of construction.
- Does not issue payment certificates, certify construction progress, approve payment applications, or validate lien releases.
- Does not provide legal advice or legal opinions.
- Does not perform architectural, engineering, surveying, geotechnical, code-compliance, permitting, commissioning, testing, inspection, clash-detection, BIM coordination, or licensed professional services.
- Does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, legality, enforceability, buildability, pricing, schedule, quality, or outcome of project documents, third-party information, construction work, or a GMP.
