  • Expert Witness, Claims and Delay Analysis. For any unforeseen events that may occur during your project Profile can provide expert support to all stages of any construction related claims or dispute by applying our technical construction planning and programming knowledge. We can also provide independent expert reporting for contractural and legal disputes.

Construction Planning and Claims/Disputes

In construction today, with the ever increasing high pressures to deliver a project on time and within budget, it is not unusual for a project to run into difficulties due to unforeseen circumstances, additional requirements or delays. Despite any contractor/subcontractors best endeavours to mitigate such delays, if not resolved will inevitably develop into a dispute between the parties involved in the contract.

We understand that these scenarios can be both stressful and time consuming, especially on a live project. That is where Profile can facilitate our expertise and utilise the importance of planning and programmes to clearly define and assert your dispute or claim.

Services We Offer

Profile’s primary approach is to prevent any differences from crystallising into a dispute between parties and to resist the imposition of LADs, many of which may be fairly quickly resolved by means of simple programme analysis clearly demonstrating entitlement or quantum analysis showing resulting costs.

These documents would be used as a basis for claims or negotiations with the other party. If such an initial approach is unsuccessful, Profile can provide advice, based on their experience with similar scenarios and can continue to provide more detailed analysis, documentation, and expert witness services to the level required, whether mediation, adjudication, arbitration, or at the worst, court proceedings.

Construction Claims

During the life cycle of your construction project Profile can assist in utilising the importance of planning and programmes, regularly updating the programme with current information to account for any unforeseen changes or delays in advance and therefore allowance for mitigation/resolve can be made. However failing this Profile can help to revolve your matter quickly and avoid a dispute by offering:

  • Extension of Time Programmes (EOT)
  • Delay Impact and Forensic Analysis
  • As Built vs As Planned including Forecasted Completion
  • Mitigation/Acceleration Programmes
