What does the Nigro Firm do?

For some companies this question is easy to answer, "we sell luxury cars," "we manufacture and distribute plastic products" or "we are event planners." But our elevator speech is not so simple. Technically, we "are third-party reviewers who perform construction drawing coordination reviews," whew... that is a mouthful and not exactly self-explanatory!

To simplify, we proofread construction drawings and specs, focusing on looking for coordination errors, omissions, and discrepancies. This is a tough service to market because, A) Most people don't know what to call our service, or B) They don't even know such a service exists.

In the construction industry, you may hear our type of review service called a variety of terms such as:

• Interdisciplinary Coordination Reviews
• Constructability Reviews
• Construction Document Reviews
• Construction Plan Reviews
• Buildability Reviews
• Design Coordination Reviews
• Redicheck Reviews
• Third-Party Construction Document Reviews

You can easily see how people may get confused about what we do and how marketing our service can be difficult. So we market in a variety of ways, covering a broad spectrum from construction humor to this blog to direct mailers to partnership invitations to a Google campaign, on top of our corporate site. These are the marketing avenues that we use to educate our potential clients and parters about our product and corporate philosophies.

What kind of projects does the Nigro Firm review?
Generally, we review high-profile commercial and government projects, some projects so high profile that we can't even tell you about them. A typical project might be something like a new high school, a hospital expansion project or a new museum. To read more about our projects see, Building Types Reviewed and our Abbreviated Project List.

Who is the Nigro Firm?
The Nigro Firm is headed by Natalie Nigro, who has over 17 years of review experience and was trained by her father William T. Nigro, the originator of the RediCheck system, who currently owns The RediCheck Firm, LLC. The Nigro Firm's reviewers consist of highly trained subcontractors with years of construction related experience. Everyone involved with the Nigro Firm, with the exception of Natalie and Shirley Nigro, are self-employed subs who partner with the Nigro Firm, this includes everyone from the cartoonist to the reviewers to the content writer. This arrangement has worked very well for us and we often write about it in this blog. For example, see Employee Relations: Working with the entire human, emotions and all.
