Dispute Resolution
Support through negotiation, mediation, dispute boards, arbitration and litigation, aimed at the fairest outcome at the lowest total cost.
Resolve on the evidence, and keep the program moving.
Most construction disputes are best settled early and informally. Formal proceedings consume management time, legal spend and working relationships that rarely recover, often on programs that still have years left to run. Yet settlement only happens when both sides can see, and eventually accept, an objective view of what occurred.
We help clients get there at every stage: analysis that separates real disagreement from misunderstanding, clear presentations that give mediators and dispute boards something solid to work with, and expert support if matters escalate. Alongside that, we help put the records, notices and contemporaneous analysis in place that stop the next dispute from forming.

Technology we work in
Platform-fluent and vendor-independent. We work inside your environment, or recommend the one that fits.
What changes when we arrive.
Not activity. Results your board, your lenders and your teams can feel.
Disputes resolved sooner and at lower total cost.
Outcomes that let parties keep building together.
Resolution grounded in objective analysis, not attrition.
What leaders ask us first.
Straight answers. If yours isn't logged here, raise it with us directly. A principal will respond.
When should a forensic scheduler be brought in?
As early as possible. An objective analysis before positions harden often narrows or resolves a dispute outright.
Can you help us avoid disputes altogether?
Yes. Disciplined records, timely notices and contemporaneous delay analysis are the most effective protection a program can have.
Do you support dispute boards?
Yes. We prepare submissions and provide technical support to dispute board processes, and can propose experienced professionals for appointments, subject to conflict checks.
Delay Analysis
Causation, extent and responsibility for delay, established with a method chosen for the facts, the records and the forum.
Time Impact Analysis (TIA)
Prospective and contemporaneous TIAs that show, with a clean fragnet and a statused update, exactly what an event does to completion.
Extension of Time (EOT)
Preparation, assessment and negotiation of extension of time claims under AIA, ConsensusDocs, FIDIC, NEC and bespoke contracts.
