CHARLIE FRATTINI AND CREW STEP IN TO RESCUE PROJECTS AND BUSINESSES IN DIRE NEED OF CONSTRUCTION INTERVENTION

When it comes to rescuing builds that are millions of dollars over budget and months behind schedule, no one does it better than Charlie "The Bulldog" Frattini, a 20-year construction veteran who oversees some of the biggest construction projects in New York City. Charlie and his team of experts have joined forces for one simple reason: to help people rebuild their businesses... and their lives. In the all-new Discovery Channel series CONSTRUCTION INTERVENTION, Charlie and his crew use their engineering expertise - and passion for the business - to transform botched construction jobs and rebuild dreams.

In the world of construction, renovation projects sometimes sit for weeks, months and even years. With unforeseen delays and problems, worksites could be left unfinished, with no end in sight. Whether it is a small business, athletic facility or restaurant that suffers, the property owners are stuck living in a construction disaster that could destroy their businesses and lives. But not any longer. For victims of ruined renovation projects, it is time for CONSTRUCTION INTERVENTION.

Charlie "The Bulldog" Frattini is as tough as they come. A strong-armed New York construction veteran with a zeal for perfection and a long resume of multi-million dollar projects, he is one of the most recognised industry experts. Charlie knows the ins and outs of every building he has ever worked on and has gathered a loyal crew of fellow blue-collared workers along the way who work by his side through thick and thin. From plumbers and carpenters to painters and electricians, Charlie's crew is the best of the tough-as-nails construction teams.

CONSTRUCTION INTERVENTION follows Charlie and his team as they tackle real-life property improvement dilemmas. Every episode sees Charlie and crew travelling to a different location to rescue businesses in need. Guided by years of experience, Charlie uses his construction expertise to undo damages, bring properties back from the brink of total destruction and dress them for success. For victims of ruined renovation projects, Charlie and his team are the go-to guys of the construction industry!
