Claims & variation management
Protect your entitlement: every variation priced, every delay proven, every notice on time.
Many construction claims are weakened on paper rather than on the merits: late notices, thin records, schedules nobody can reconstruct. We set up the variation and claims process on live projects, and prepare, review or defend extension-of-time, prolongation, disruption and cost claims with a delay analysis that an engineer, an adjudicator or a tribunal can follow.
Who it is for
- Contractors and subcontractors with open variations or delay events on a live project
- Owners and developers who receive claims they need to assess or answer
- Project teams that need a notice-and-records discipline before a dispute starts
What you get
- A variation and claims register with status, value and time-bar dates
- A delay-analysis report that explains the method and shows every assumption
- Claim or response submissions ready to issue, in English or Arabic
- A notice-and-records procedure the site team can actually follow
How it works
- Contract review
An entitlement map: notice periods, time bars, valuation rules and the clauses that matter — FIDIC-based or bespoke forms.
- Records and baseline
Rebuild the contemporaneous record: the approved programme, progress updates, correspondence, site records and the variation register.
- Quantify
Price each variation and measure each delay: as-planned vs as-built and time-impact analysis, cost and prolongation build-ups.
- Submit, negotiate, defend
Claim documents and responses, meeting packs and settlement support; expert-style reports and hearing support if it goes to arbitration.

Questions we get
Can you help before there is a dispute?
Yes — that is the best time. A notice discipline and a clean variation register usually decide the outcome long before a dispute starts.
How strict are notice deadlines?
Very. FIDIC-based forms typically allow about 28 days from becoming aware of an event to notify, and a late notice can bar the claim. Always check your own contract and its governing law.
Which delay-analysis methods do you use?
The one the records can support: as-planned vs as-built, impacted as-planned, time-impact or windows analysis. We explain the choice and its limits in the report.
Do you support arbitration, and do you give legal advice?
We provide programme, technical and commercial analysis, expert-style reports and hearing support, including in SCCA proceedings. We do not give legal advice or act as counsel; legal strategy stays with your lawyers and we work alongside them.
