Our Construction Claims Services
We offer a complimentary review of your problem, which allows us to quickly understand your requirements so we can advise you on available options and provide you with an estimated time and cost for the services.
How We Provide Our Services
Once we receive your instruction, we:
Advise and manage the procurement of the evidence required for the claim.
Quantify the claim for you in accordance with the contract and relevant legal principles.
Draft the claim as a standalone document to include all supporting evidence as a tabulated bundle of documents as an appendix.
We are proud of the fact that nearly all our claims result in a settlement by agreement between the parties, thereby avoiding the requirement for a formal dispute resolution process.
However, unfortunately, a settlement is not always possible, in which case the claim is ready to be used as the basis of an Adjuducation, and we are able to represent you in the Adjuducation, which includes provision and management of all submissions and other communication required throughout the process.

"I have instructed Mark Holden-Smith as an expert in quantum and delay on a number of occasions in adjudications. I find him to be thorough and methodical but never slow. His reports have always been concise and persuasive, and I recommend him."
