Long International

What Long International does

Long International, Inc. is a privately held engineering and construction claims consultancy founded in 1996 by Richard J. Long, P.E., P.Eng. and headquartered in Littleton, Colorado, with corporate offices in Orlando, Florida and New York and regional representatives in Atlanta, Boston, Houston, and Seattle. The firm analyzes schedule delay, acceleration, quantum and damages, loss of labor productivity, standard-of-care, and insurance-related claims for owners, contractors, law firms, and insurance companies across energy, industrial, mining, infrastructure, and building construction sectors, with cumulative exposure to claims worth up to $13 billion and project experience spanning 70 countries. A team of over 50 professionals averaging more than 35 years of experience delivers the work using established methodologies — CPM schedule analysis (time impact, as-built but-for, and windows approaches), Monte Carlo risk simulation, measured-mile and earned-value productivity analysis, cause-effect and cost/damages matrices, and a five-phase document-analysis framework — and testifies in U.S. and international arbitration and litigation.

Revenue is generated through custom-scoped, quote-based professional service engagements, with no public pricing or subscription tiers. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct outreach, referrals from law firms and insurers, content marketing (two co-authored textbooks and 500+ publications), an expert/professional-association network spanning 50+ industry bodies, and a partner ecosystem led by the CORE International Consulting alliance for front-end schedule optimization. Named buyer-side relationships span oil and gas majors (Saudi Aramco, ExxonMobil, Chevron), engineering contractors (KBR, SNC-Lavalin, Hyundai E&C), global reinsurers (Swiss Re, Munich Re, Lloyd's, AIG), and international law firms (King & Spalding, Norton Rose Fulbright, White & Case), indicating an enterprise-only motion in which each engagement is individually scoped rather than productized.
