Claims & dispute resolution services
Put your best foot forward when defending or presenting a construction claim
Disputes are costly, no matter whether you are defending or asserting a claim. They consume valuable time when resources could be better spent elsewhere. Parties to disputes often push resolution until later in the project lifecycle, thereby making it less likely that a resolution can be achieved.
Our team provides an independent expert report to support you during negotiations and / or mediation, and acts as an expert witness in your arbitration litigation proceedings. Our advice and experienced opinion, based on the contemporaneous records and facts of the development project, ensure an accurate and defendable report. With extensive knowledge of Canada’s construction industry, including the methods of construction, forms of contracts, scheduling and claims techniques, we are uniquely positioned to provide clarity in such situations.
Mitigate dispute risk with solid contracts and schedules
Claims and disputes are not inevitable. Mitigating risk to avoid claims and disputes is possible by taking the following steps:
- Spend time nailing down a detailed schedule that focuses on achievability and includes reasonable contingency
- Pull together high-quality contracts that set the execution expectations upfront
- Ensure you have the scope of your contracts appropriately and reasonably defined
Leverage our team of experts to put these professional practices in place upfront; saving you money by avoiding unnecessary cost overruns and delays.
