    • We speak CM@R, NOC, & ROM.

    Construction is a complex industry filled with impenetrable jargon and tangled interdependencies. You need a consultant who speaks the language, understands the context, and can give you the full picture. With decades of in-field experience, we distill complex construction concepts and terminology into the clear, compelling facts you need to build a winning case.

    We provide technical and commercial perspectives and briefings to support mediation, arbitration, and litigation and help you prepare clear, credible, winning case strategies. We also offer expert delay and quantum evidence informed by real-world expertise, so you get an opinion you know you can trust.

    We have lived through
    productivity, delay, and
    cost challenges.

    Delay Analysis

    Whether your client needs the delay they encountered established and quantified against the plan or a full-windows analysis of the project, we have the in-house expertise to help you understand the events in full.

    Mediation, Arbitration, and Litigation Support

    We support internal and external counsel by providing experts in construction, contracts, and scheduling, so even when the original team has gone, you have the right information and the right questions to get the answers you need.

    We help your client present or challenge costs with trusted analysis and opinions from accredited quantity surveyors and commercial managers who are experienced in the detailed evaluation of quantum.
