Claims Management
Construction claims demand precision, substantiation, and commercial judgement. We support contractors, specialist subcontractors, and project stakeholders to identify entitlement early, prepare claims in accordance with contract mechanisms, and present clear, defensible positions suitable for negotiation, resolution, or escalation. We also assist respondents and principals in analysing and responding to claims received.
Rigorous Claims Preparation & Assessment
A well-prepared claim is grounded in contract, contemporaneous records, and a clear cause-and-effect narrative. We work with delivery and commercial teams to structure claims effectively, strengthen substantiation, and improve the prospects of commercial resolution. Where required, our work is prepared to withstand scrutiny in adjudication, expert determination, arbitration, or court proceedings.
- Extension of time (EOT) claim preparation and substantiation (cause, effect, entitlement)
- Variation identification, valuation, and substantiation (including time and cost impacts)
- Disruption and productivity loss claims (evidence-led and methodical)
- Delay cost and prolongation analysis aligned with project programmes
- Acceleration and constructive acceleration claims (causation, instruction, remedy)
- Claims strategy development and entitlement mapping in accordance with contract mechanisms
- Breach of contract and damages assessment where relevant
- Defects and rectification cost claims where contractual entitlement exists
- Independent claims review and strengthening of existing submissions
- Claims defence, response preparation, and exposure assessment for respondents
Where We Add Value
Our claims support is tailored to the needs of each engagement, from early entitlement analysis through to negotiation support and dispute-ready submissions. We can be engaged to supplement in-house teams, conduct independent claims reviews, and provide strategic direction on complex contractual issues.
EOT Claims
Structured extension of time claims that articulate cause, delay impact, and contractual entitlement using programme logic and contemporaneous records.
Variation Claims
Identification and substantiation of variations, directed changes, constructive variations, and scope growth, linked clearly to contract clauses and entitlements.
Disruption Claims
Quantification of disruption and productivity loss using appropriate evidence-based methods, including measured mile, earned value principles, or project-specific analysis.
Claims Defence
Assessment of claims received, identification of contractual exposures, and preparation of coherent, defensible responses grounded in contract and records.
