Construction Claims
Expert preparation, assessment and resolution of construction claims to protect your project and commercial interests.
What is Construction Claims Management?
Construction claims arise when one party to a construction contract seeks compensation for additional costs, time extensions, or other entitlements beyond what was originally agreed. These claims can stem from variations, delays, disruptions, defective work, or contractual breaches — and their proper management is critical to project success.
Effective claims management requires a deep understanding of contract law, construction methodology, and project documentation. Whether you are preparing a claim or responding to one, the strength of your position depends on the quality of your evidence, the rigour of your analysis, and the clarity of your presentation.
CMGuide provides comprehensive construction claims services across the full lifecycle — from early identification of entitlements through to formal dispute resolution — ensuring your commercial interests are protected at every stage.
How CMGuide Can Help
Claims Preparation
We prepare thoroughly documented and well-reasoned claims on your behalf, drawing on contract analysis, contemporaneous records, and industry best practice to maximise your entitlement.
Claims Assessment
We independently assess claims submitted against you, identifying strengths, weaknesses, and legitimate versus inflated entitlements — giving you a clear picture before committing to any response.
Negotiation Support
We support you through the negotiation process with robust commercial analysis and strategic advice, working toward efficient resolution that minimises cost and protects ongoing project relationships.
Our Approach
Initial Review: We review your contract, correspondence, and project records to identify potential claim entitlements and assess the strength of your position.
Evidence Gathering: We compile and organise contemporaneous records, programme data, cost reports, and correspondence to build a comprehensive evidentiary foundation.
Claim Preparation or Assessment: We prepare a detailed, well-reasoned claim document or provide a rigorous assessment of a claim received, supported by contractual and factual analysis.
Resolution Support: We represent and advise you through negotiation, mediation, or formal dispute resolution proceedings to achieve the best possible outcome.
