CDRC Claim, Dispute, Resolution and Consultancy

What we do

From the clause to the award.

Structured, end-to-end support in construction contract management, claims preparation, dispute resolution and project-health monitoring — so every submission is well supported, defensible, and aligned with the governing Conditions of Contract.

Before the dispute

Contract administration and advisory

Many clients engage us early — to stay contractually secure, to establish proper documentation systems, and to make sure project decisions align with the Conditions of Contract. That involvement is what stops issues escalating.

  • Continuous advisory support through the life of the contract
  • Identification and assessment of contractual risks and obligations
  • Drafting and reviewing correspondence
  • Review of contractual notices
  • Guidance on day-to-day contractual obligations

When time and cost move

Claims preparation and management

Claims are built from the project record rather than from global allowances. Each one is documented so that a reader who was not there can follow it.

  • Delay and disruption claims
  • Extension of time (EOT) claims
  • Prolongation claims
  • Geological and unforeseen condition claims
  • Quantum and cost-impact claims
  • BOQ and quantity-related issues
  • Price adjustment
  • Bonus for early completion
  • Claims arising from contract provisions
  • Interface delay analysis

The analysis

Delay and quantum

Delay analysis and cause-and-effect mapping for schedule impacts, with quantum analysis for variations, additional works and compensation. Programmes are reviewed in Primavera P6 against the as-planned and as-built record.

  • Programme review and schedule impact assessment
  • Cause-and-effect mapping of delay events
  • Prolongation assessment and BOQ implications
  • Quantum evaluation for variations and additional works
  • Earned value management and project-health evaluation

When it goes to a forum

Dispute resolution and arbitration

When disagreements, delays, variations or claims do appear, our role becomes more strategic. We support clients through settlement and, where it is needed, all the way through arbitration.

  • Notice preparation and impact analysis
  • Claim drafting and documentation
  • Settlement and negotiation support
  • Amicable settlement processes
  • Standing arbitration submissions
  • Full arbitration assistance
  • Quantum expert
  • Delay expert
  • Expert witness
