Claims Administration

The inherently complex and dynamic nature of construction projects means that risk and opportunity are constant considerations for all contracting parties. Among these, claims for time and cost compensation remain some of the most contested, misunderstood, and heavily disputed aspects of any construction contract.

At Detail Consult, we specialize in the comprehensive management of construction claims. Our team brings deep technical knowledge and practical experience in both preparing and defending claims across a broad spectrum of project types and contract frameworks.

Whether acting on behalf of contractors to recover entitlement to additional time and costs, or supporting clients in analyzing and defending against claim submissions from contractors or subcontractors, our approach is methodical, evidence-based, and strategically driven. We focus on ensuring our clients are positioned for the most favorable outcomes—either in claim resolution or defense.

Our Post-Contract Claims Administration Services Include:

  • Claims Strategy Development
    Formulating tailored, contractually sound claims strategies to guide submissions and defenses throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Claims Defense
    Detailed analysis and rebuttal of claims, supported by documentation, contract interpretation, and delay/disruption assessments.
  • Extension of Time (EoT) Claims
    Preparation and assessment of EoT claims in accordance with contract provisions, including analysis of critical path impact and justification of entitlement.
  • Delay & Disruption Claims – Cost
    Identification, quantification, and substantiation of financial claims related to delays, loss of productivity, and site inefficiencies.
  • Delay & Disruption Claims – Time
    Comprehensive time impact analysis using industry-standard delay analysis techniques to support entitlement to revised project completion dates.
  • Breach of Contract Claims
    Preparation or defense of claims arising from failure to meet contractual obligations, including non-performance, design deficiencies, or late delivery.
  • Suspension Claims
    Evaluation of rights and entitlements associated with lawful or unlawful suspension of works, including time and cost implications.
  • Termination Claims
    Management of complex termination scenarios, including analysis of contractual grounds, quantification of damages, and resolution strategies.

Our goal is to resolve claims efficiently, minimize dispute escalation, and protect our clients’ commercial and contractual interests. Whether navigating formal dispute resolution or seeking early settlement, Detail Consult ensures each claim is strategically managed and supported by strong technical foundations.
