The construction expert whose record holds up.
Patrick McRaney is the expert a project trusts when the safety program and the quality record have to hold up. Certified in every system of a building, a certified expert witness, 15+ years footing to closeout — currently running safety and quality on federal jobsites for a prime contractor. Engage him embedded, as an advisor before bid day, or when the record has to survive scrutiny. Marine Corps veteran, licensed contractor.
One expert accountable for safety, quality, and the record.
Quality & Constructability
Quality control and pre-construction review that catch the problem on paper, not in the punch list — and a record built to survive scrutiny.
Site Safety & Health (SSHO)
Owns the safety program to the federal standard — AHAs, APPs, competent-person planning, daily control.
Superintendence, when embedded
When you need the expertise on-site full-time: runs the site, the schedule, and the quality record as one discipline, footing to closeout.
One sharp review before bid day, the expert read when it's in dispute, or embedded for the duration.
He didn't read about buildings. He's certified in every system of one.
An expert who can personally inspect the roof, the electrical, the moisture path and the air the crew breathes doesn't wait for a specialist to find the problem. Ten InterNACHI certifications, a contractor's license, and a FORTIFIED Home™ evaluator credential — carried onto every site as one integrated eye.

Certified expert witness — the quality record he keeps is the one that holds up in a dispute.
Software written by the guy who signs the AHA.
The first of a line of field-born tools — built by a practitioner who lives the paperwork, not a vendor guessing at it. Not a mockup: a working tool, in certification now.
Every federal activity starts with an AHA — and most of them start with a stale copy-paste. AHA Builder treats the AHA as what it is: the daily contract between the plan and the crew. Pick an activity — trenching, hot work, cranes & rigging, confined space, sixty-plus federal work tasks — and it drafts the job steps, hazards, controls, equipment, training, and inspection requirements, every control carrying its EM 385-1-1 / 29 CFR citation. A deterministic Risk Assessment Code engine scores each hazard, rolls the AHA up by the EM 385 highest-RAC rule, and escalates the required government acceptance authority as the risk climbs. USACE and NAVFAC form variants. Print-ready PDF out the other side.
And it runs entirely on your machine — a single portable file, zero network calls. Contract numbers and CUI never leave the laptop. A 573-entry hazard catalog, cited and pre-scored, ships inside it.
Marine Corps. Engineering. Then the hardest jobs on the board.
Patrick McRaney — MEng, PMP, LEED AP — came up through the US Marine Corps, earned a BS in Construction Engineering Technology from the University of Southern Mississippi and a Master of Engineering in Construction Management from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and built more than 15 years in construction, quality control, and engineering. A certified expert witness and PMP-certified project manager, certified in every system of a building and licensed as a contractor, he now brings that eye to the safety and quality record on federal (USACE/NAVFAC) jobsites for a prime contractor — proof the expertise is current, not a résumé. He has the detail you want when the record has to hold up.
Scope an engagement. Or just talk through the project.
