True Valuation Claims

If you are experiencing disagreements in the valuation of the works, then an evaluation by a professional can help resolve the differences and avoid disputes by offering clarity on the likely outcome of a formal dispute resolution process.

We Quantify Your Claim for Payment

How we Quantify True Value Claims


We offer a Free Preliminary Review of key information relating to the dispute so we can understand how we can help you achieve your desired outcome and advise you on the available options.


Once instructed we get to work on quantifying your claim.  Our experience and professional qualification mean we provide a one stop shop for valuation of your construction claim which may include:


  • Extension of time,

  • Losses caused by delay & disruption,

  • Costs expended in exercise of suspending the works,

  • Differences in claims for extra works,

  • Differences in claims for contract works,

  • Damages arising from a breach of contract,

  • Defences and counter claims for claims made against you.


The finished claim comes as a standalone document with appendices containing supporting documents and may be used as a mechanism to avoid a dispute, seek a settlement agreement, or resolution of the dispute in adjudication.  


"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."
