5 Dispute Mitigation During construction, our team works with the owner, designer, contractor and other team members to guide the project to successful completion. We provide expert insight to mitigate the potential impact of disputes as they arise and prevent them from escalating into claims. Using our knowledge about the causes of claims and what is needed for resolution, we ensure proper documentation, review and action to keep the project on schedule, within budget and ready for early resolution of disputes. Construction Claims Specialists Our experts have evaluated more than 10,000 construction claims over the last 30 years.

6 Dispute Resolution We understand that money is central to nearly all construction disputes. Our dispute resolution services are tailored to minimize your risk and cost. Our strength lies in our absolute objectivity in assessing your position and applying our expertise to help you optimize your outcome. An airtight expert report or a compelling mediation presentation can be very effective and timely. Our credibility and breadth of experience serving as experts will help you meet the objectives of your dispute resolution strategy. Alternative Project Delivery (APD) Using APD methods can save owners time and money, but it does not guarantee success. By reviewing your unique project requirements and goals, we can help you identify the appropriate delivery system to reap the benefits of APD while minimizing your chances of construction claims. With delays, cost overruns and disputes on the rise, we can also support you in the analysis of construction claims related to APD.
