The 72 named project and portfolio entries are a representative selection of the advisers’ individual career experience.

Representative case studies

Typical issues. Clearer decisions.

Four illustrative situations demonstrate how programme, contractual and quantum analysis can support decisions during delivery, at final account and before formal dispute proceedings.

Forensic delay assessment01

When the parties disagree on the critical delay.

Situation

Programme updates show changing critical paths, competing event narratives and gaps in contemporaneous records.

Analytical approach

Reconstruct the event chronology, test programme logic against actual progress and consider the effects of competing causes of delay.

Decision support

A clearer assessment of critical delay, its limitations and the records needed to support an EOT position or dispute strategy.

EOT and prolongation02

When time entitlement and additional costs do not align.

Situation

Notified variations and delay events overlap, while claimed prolongation periods and additional costs are not clearly tied to the programme.

Analytical approach

Map notices to events, assess time entitlement and distinguish potential prolongation or disruption effects from the underlying cost records.

Decision support

A structured view of the time and cost issues for claim preparation, negotiation or independent assessment.

Final account and quantum03

When unresolved valuations threaten final recovery.

Situation

Variations, deductions, payment items and prolongation costs remain disputed as final-account negotiations approach.

Analytical approach

Review the contractual valuation basis, quantities, cost records and supporting evidence for the amounts claimed or challenged.

Decision support

A more transparent assessment of supported figures, evidential gaps and options for agreement or further review.

Pre-dispute and ADR strategy04

When technical and commercial positions harden.

Situation

The parties have divergent positions on entitlement, programme impact and quantum before a potential formal dispute.

Analytical approach

Prepare issue matrices, test assumptions and identify focused questions for contractual, delay, quantum and legal advisers.

Decision support

A prioritised set of issues and proportionate next steps for negotiation, expert review or formal proceedings.

These are illustrative analytical scenarios, not claims about individual appointments, clients, project outcomes or Constructive Advisory commissions. The project and arbitration listings above describe advisers’ prior professional experience, subject to confidentiality and independence requirements.
