ROMAN Consulting Group has joined The ECC Association, the Engineering & Construction Contracting industry group, as an Annual Sponsor. It is a different kind of industry forum than ROMAN typically engages, and that difference is exactly the point.
Most industry events are built around presentations. ECC is built around conversation. Its Sponsors-Only Session brings together owners, contractors, and suppliers in a closed-door setting to speak candidly about what is working, what is not, and where capital project delivery needs to go next. That kind of senior-level, cross-industry access is scarce, and it is why sponsorship was worth pursuing.
ROMAN's Role as an Annual Sponsor
As an Annual Sponsor, ROMAN gains a standing seat at ECC's Sponsors-Only Sessions, including the recent session held at The Houstonian in Houston. Roger Farish, ROMAN's founder, attends on the firm's behalf, engaging directly with the owners, contractors, and suppliers who shape how capital projects get defined, challenged, and approved.
"That kind of senior-level, cross-industry dialogue is what makes forums like ECC valuable," said Farish. "From what I've seen, ECC creates space for open sharing across roles and perspectives, real discussion around industry challenges, and conversations that go beyond tools into decisions and leadership."
What Sponsorship Adds to ROMAN's Perspective
A closed-door session with owners, contractors, and suppliers surfaces things a published report will not, mainly where the industry's thinking is heading before it shows up in a framework or standard. Sponsorship keeps ROMAN in that room on a standing basis, not as an occasional guest.
That access shapes how ROMAN approaches independent estimate reviews and front-end planning work. Judgment sharpened by current, candid industry dialogue holds up differently than judgment built on documented best practice alone.
It is a strong complement to the work ROMAN does every day. Improving early decision quality and reducing cost uncertainty starts with better conversations like these, held with the people actually making capital project decisions.
