Construction dispute advisory Singapore
Independent construction dispute advice before positions become irreversible.
Early independent review can identify where a case is strong, where the evidence is weak and which issues genuinely justify further investment. Constructive Advisory provides direct, senior support before and during formal dispute processes.
Singapore-based. Regionally experienced.
Constructive Advisory provides independent construction claims, delay, programme and dispute support from Singapore for matters across Asia-Pacific and other international regions.

Working approach
Evidence first. Method second. Conclusion last.
Define the decision
Clarify whether the client must decide to pursue, defend, settle, narrow, investigate or escalate the matter.
Map the case
Separate entitlement, fact, causation, programme, quantum, evidence and procedural issues.
Prioritise effort
Focus time and cost on issues that can materially change outcome, leverage or settlement value.
Support execution
Work alongside management, counsel and other specialists through the selected dispute or negotiation process.
Frequently asked questions
Practical answers before the first discussion.
When should a dispute adviser be appointed?
Ideally before formal positions harden. Early review can preserve records, identify notice or evidence gaps, test assumptions and help management choose a proportionate strategy.
Is the advice legal advice?
No. Constructive Advisory provides construction claims, delay, programme and dispute advisory services. Legal advice should be provided by qualified counsel, with the workstreams coordinated where appropriate.
Can you work directly with our lawyers?
Yes, subject to instructions, conflicts and engagement terms. Work can be structured through counsel where privilege and dispute strategy require it.
Can you provide a quick preliminary view?
Yes. A staged review can begin with a focused document set and defined questions, followed by deeper analysis only where justified.
