How we plan construction claims

We provide a complete plan for your claim aimed at achieving specific outcomes.

01
Factual Background

We establish the material facts giving rise to the claim and establish the possible heads of claim.  Depending on the information available and the circumstances, alternative claims may provide a more robust approach as a fall back to the primary position, so we also advise on any alternative claims that be be made.

Factual Demonstrations

We advise on appropriate methods of analysing the evidence to establish causation in fact in respect of the particular claims for quantum.

02
The Contractual & Legal Requirements

We review the express terms of the contract and any terms implied by law to establish the appropriate basis for your claim or defence.

03
The Issues to be addressed

We confirm the specific issues, and sub-issues, to be addressed in establishing entitlement, causation, and the subsequent quantum in accordance with the contract and legal principles.

04
Outline Answer to the Claim

We provide an outline answer for the claim which includes a detailed explanation of how the contractual rules should be applied to the facts in answering the issues, and what specific outcomes are the aim of the analysis.
