Revay and Associates

What Revay and Associates does

Revay and Associates is a privately held, employee-owned construction consulting firm founded in 1970 in Montreal, Canada. The firm provides specialized construction claims consulting, dispute resolution, project management, and advisory services to clients across the construction value chain, including owners, contractors, subcontractors, design firms (including EPCM firms), law firms, government entities, and financial institutions. Revay operates from six offices across Canada (Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver) and one US office in Wilmington, Delaware, staffing approximately 50 professionals—primarily engineers, architects, and senior technologists.

The firm's core technology is its forensic analytical methodology applied to construction disputes, including forensic schedule analysis for delay and disruption, loss of productivity analysis, change order analysis, and damage quantification. Many of Revay's professionals have been accepted as expert witnesses in construction scheduling, delay, productivity, and damage cases. Over its 50+ year history, Revay has been retained on more than 7,000 construction disputes with values ranging from $10,000 to over $1 billion, and has conducted project risk assessments on projects totaling over $100 billion. The firm also publishes The Revay Report, a quarterly industry publication launched in 1981. The firm reorganized under the name "Revay Stanley" after acquisition by Stanley Technology Group in 1994, was bought back by employees in 1998, and was rebranded in 2006 and again in 2020.

Revay generates revenue through three professional service lines: Dispute Resolution Services (claim preparation, evaluation, expert reports and testimony, assistance to legal counsel, and alternative dispute resolution), which represents approximately 60% of its work; Project Management Services (planning, scheduling, contract administration, change and claims management, and monitoring); and Advisory Services (risk management, contract reviews, independent project audits, seminars, and lessons learned). Pricing is project-based and quote-driven, typical of boutique consulting. The firm sells directly through its regional offices under enterprise field sales motion, with no channel intermediaries. Under President Zey Emir since 2013, Revay maintains no external institutional investors and no public listing.
