Over 25 years of dispute support, strategic avoidance or resolution
QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED, SUCCESSFULLY APPLIED
Taking a strategic approach to managing contractual risks, proactively and reactively.
The nature of the construction and industrial engineering sectors means that Contractors and Sub-Contractors are exposed to risks before, during and after contracts, given the numerous project partners and variables beyond their control. Hence why it is important to develop a strategy that is always looking at what’s on the horizon to most effectively avoid disputes arising in the first place, as well as having a strategy to resolve disputes should they arise. The Quantum Consult team supports clients in developing both these proactive and reactive strategies.
Our Strategic Services
Our Expert Services - How the Quantum Consult Machinery Works
Dispute Avoidance
We strategically support our engineering and constructor clients during all phases of a project. We help keep them within time and budget by monitoring and reporting on the project risks and health, ensuring maximum returns and preventing under recovery on costs. Throughout the contract we are the expert with a watching brief or standing by for consultation, to maintain our client’s commercial advantage. Constant or early involvement at a stage where elevation can be either avoided or deployed is the key.
You may have done all the good stuff giving the notices for claiming the extra works and EoT’s, but now you need to justify your position. It is imperative that our clients recognise the emergence of potential dispute and take the right steps. This is where Quantum Consult comes in.
With forensic delay analysis techniques, we identify realistic projections ensuring your client’s expectations are managed, and you are working to a predetermined and communicated plan. Asserting our client’s entitlement at the outset and giving pragmatic solution to problems, ensures issues are addressed, discussed openly, and the negative entrenched positions avoided. Giving expert level impartial recommendations to our client’s ensures that they are aware of the risks and can manage favourable outcomes, knowing full well the dangers of failing to address the issues.
When challenges are addressed as early as possible, openly, assertively and positively, our clients are best placed to negotiate palatable outcomes. They can avoid third party intervention by being in control of their entitlements.
Dispute Resolution
Construction contract disputes arise all too often unfortunately, but when they do, we can help you achieve a satisfactory resolution through our blend of quantity surveying, forensic delay analysis, and legal expertise. Dispute resolution for our clients means providing closure to the commercial challenges of complex problems, mainly involving delay and financial health recovery at final account.
Engage with Quantum at the earliest opportunity and we can act on your behalf to pursue the claims to which you are legitimately entitled or where required, advise on how best to defend your position.
We encourage our clients to think first in terms of positive action: what to do to positively assert a position. If risk exposure to liabilities is the concern, we develop a strategic plan to manage and minimise the risks. Our technical expert skills and experience has been gained across many sectors of engineering and construction and in all manner of disputes, meaning we can draw on previous cases to maximise your chances of a successful outcome, offering independent advice based on established legal principles and an unbiased perspective.
One of the most important dimensions to our dispute resolution support is our commercial experience. Quantum awareness and valuation expertise is crucial in our involvement in our client’s negotiations. Our specialist acumen in cost and value, is instrumental in finding a mutually acceptable solution without resorting to formal legal procedures. We help you establish and prepare the required evidence and documentation, such as costings and financial data - all an essential component to providing the higher support to a claim or defence.
We do quantity surveying and forensic delay analysis at a world class level, from local problems to international disputes.
