QUANTUM
Quantum experts are key in developing
independent, soundly reasoned and
evidenced reports that are essential in
delivering a clear, comprehensive and
coherent assessment of costs on matters
in dispute.
Our quantum experts include Chartered
Quantity Surveyors with many years of live
project experience, who are able to quickly
cut through extensive and detailed cost data
to understand the basis, merits and value
of a claim, whether under NEC, JCT, FIDIC,
EPC or other forms of bespoke contracts.
They provide independent opinion on the
assessment of quantum claims, whether
through the preparation of reasoned and
evidenced reports for use in tribunals or
court, or through oral testimony.
Their expertise includes matters such as:
The value of measured works
completed under a contract or
subcontract.
The valuation of variations,
compensation events and change.
The quantification of delay and/or
disruption.
The value and basis of contra charges
and counterclaims.
The assessment of claims for
overheads and profit.
Additional costs, loss and expense or
damages.
Costs associated with the rectification
of defects and/or remedial schemes.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Efficient project management stems from two essential
qualities: communication and organisation. The role of the
project manager is to deliver projects through the effective
management of all stages of the project lifecycle, including
briefing, design, cost, programme, procurement and
construction processes.
Our project management experts have extensive experience in
the management of projects, and the standards of practice and
services required to be delivered by contract administrators,
project managers and engineers.
Our work involves the review of contract and project documents,
as well as the review of the performance of project management
processes, from feasibility studies through to handover,
including understanding and commenting on:
Industry standards for project management services and
the scope of services under specific agreements, and the
adequacy of the service provided against those benchmarks.
Obligations to warn and advise clients of potential issues
arising on the project, and the identification of any failures to
do so.
Reasonable levels of payment for the amount and quality of
project management provided.
The assessment of the consequences of a failure to deliver an
adequate service.
