Our Services

PROJECT CONTROLS & PROJECT PLANNING

Good planning leads to successful projects and a failure to plan will always contribute towards an unsuccessful project. Our team can provide a project planning service on all levels, from tender submissions through to live project support. We can tailor a plan for each project’s specific needs. From establishing scope and feasibility, to budget, schedule and resource requirements, to implementation and project monitoring.

We can help you implement best practice project controls and integrate your management systems to provide accurate data that you can trust and action in real-time. By having control over how you manage the information captured on site will allow you to get control of your construction projects.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Disputes and conflicts are common place in the construction industry and our core experience and expertise is in forensic planning for the application and defence of extension of time claims.

Our team have a proven record in the preparation, negotiation and settlement of construction disputes in high-pressure environments. One of our key skills is in distilling complex claim documents and presenting them in a concise and effective manner.

We can provide advice on the recovery of live projects suffering from delay and disruption and wherever possible, negotiate to settle issues before a dispute crystallises.

Our team can assess and provide opinion on the strengths and weaknesses of your position and advise on the most efficient ways to resolve disputes.
