Our Services: Overall Objectives
Increasingly our clients appreciate the merits
of engaging Claims Management Services from the outset of
a construction project, rather than waiting until a problem,
argument or claim issue has developed.
From our experience we know that many claims and disputes
can be avoided altogether and most can be reduced significantly,
if addressed in the right way and at the right time.
The main elements and objectives of Claims
Management:
- Assess liabilities and entitlements.
- Devise a commercial strategy.
- Implement agreed strategy to optimise protection
and recovery.
- Defend and minimise exposure to claims and penalties.
- Minimise cost and time in settling claims.
- Avoid formal dispute proceedings where possible and achieve
economic settlement, whilst preserving business relationships
and reputation.
- Minimise distraction effect of the claims process on the
project team, to promote good progress of the works.
These principles and objectives apply, irrespective
of which party to the contract you are:
- Project owner
- Contractor
- Sub-contractor
- Supplier
Claims Management Services and techniques
can be applied to:
- Minimising exposure to claims and disputes as
the works progress.
- Claims, or disputes which already exist (current or completed
works).
