Most people at some point wish they had the benefit of hindsight. Hill International employs 1500 construction consultants worldwide so that it can offer its clients just that; the benefit of experience from professionals that have been involved in some of the most challenging and complex projects ever undertaken.

Working with both private and public sector clients in a variety of different arenas, Hill International consultants have participated in more than 1,000 project assignments with a total construction value of in excess of £60 billion, managing all phases of the construction process, from pre-design through to completion.

The company's project management group is also complemented by a world renowned Construction Claims Group, which has participated in over 5,000 disputes valued in excess of £30 billion.

Hill International, however, does not define itself not by the thousands of successful projects it has already been involved in, but instead by each and every project it is and will become involved with.

Ultimately, Hill's formula is simple; it recruits the best people, makes a conscious effort to fully understand every client's needs and objectives and takes an active role in making sure that all of the needs are met, no matter how large or small its role in a project is.

Hill International would like to wish this year's CMYA nominees every success.
