Services from first baseline to final account

Four connected services for owners, contractors and their advisors on construction and engineering projects. Use one on its own, or bring us in across the whole project.

A. Project management & advisory

D. Claims & delay analysis · Core expertise

Establish what happened, and who is responsible

When a project runs late or costs more than planned, we analyse the records to establish cause, responsibility and entitlement, then present it clearly.

Discuss a claim
Forensic delay analysisCritical path analysis tied to the contemporaneous record.
Extension of time claimsPrepared for contractors, or reviewed and answered for owners.
Cost & disruption claimsProlongation, acceleration and disruption, linked to the delay events.
Dispute resolution supportSupport to counsel through negotiation, mediation, adjudication and arbitration.

Delay analysis methods

MethodTypical use
Time Impact AnalysisModelling the effect of a specific event, often during the project.
Windows AnalysisReviewing delay period by period using contemporaneous updates.
As-Planned vs As-BuiltComparing the plan to what happened when updates are limited.
Collapsed As-BuiltRemoving delay events from the as-built to test their effect.

The right method depends on the contract, the records available and the question being asked. We explain the choice up front.
