Dispute Resolution
In today’s construction industry, claims are often complex and difficult to resolve. Public owners, private developers, general contractors, and specialty contractors whose projects have been subject to major design or performance problems have increasingly sought contractual, administrative, or legal redress. Owners, contractors, and their attorneys recognize the value that a seasoned scheduling professional brings to the strategic resolution of disputes.
We can assist with:
- Conducting accurate evaluations
- Delivering concise, articulate presentations
- Developing meticulous documentation
- Serving as highly competent, well-qualified professionals who identify and quantify periods of delay impact as well as resulting damages
Because disputes often proceed through the judicial process long after project completion, the task of “reconstruction” is most often complex and time-consuming, but at the same time, critical to an equitable outcome. We can carefully reconstruct every aspect of the performance of the project, reassembling all the data, including all pertinent construction documents, technical reports, and cost records. By applying robust and defensible methodology to our analysis, we will deliver a comprehensive and objective report that documents our findings.
However, the best way to avoid disputes is to provide our clients with scheduling services that focus on identifying and assessing issues, developing proactive solutions, and preparing clear and persuasive documentation. These methods aid in avoiding, while still documenting, data that may possibly be used in later dispute resolution forums.
