In the world of construction, things don’t always go according to plan.
Schedules slip. Budgets balloon. Contractors vanish. And in too many cases, owners are left holding the bag—scrambling to recover timelines, preserve capital, and avoid legal fallout.
That’s where Orion Project Management steps in.
With over two decades of experience navigating the toughest construction environments, we specialize in turning around distressed construction projects. Whether the issue is a mismanaged general contractor, design coordination breakdowns, or stalled permitting, we help owners, developers, and investors take control and get projects back on track.
🚧 What Is a Distressed Construction Project?
A distressed project is any build that has derailed from its original schedule, scope, or cost parameters—and is at risk of default, abandonment, or major financial loss. These issues may stem from:
- Contractor performance failures
- Missed inspections or permit delays
- Cash flow mismanagement
- Unresolved RFIs or change orders
- Poor site coordination or safety issues
- Lack of experienced owner representation
