Expert Review & Challenge, though not traditionally as common as our mainstream services we can offer this service if required.

This is sometimes called expert testimony or expert witness services and is normally provided in person at an Arbitration or Litigation. However we provide in lieu of this, an Expert Review & Challenge Report on matters of quantum that can be used for those proceedings. 

It is quite an extensive process and so before embarking on this, we would require you to have already submitted a properly prepared Loss & Expense Claim or Schedule – See more about that at “Contractual Loss & Expense”. Additionally in order for a dispute to exist you would need to have a letter or some other documentary evidence from the Owner/Principle/Architect/Engineer to signify them having rejected your Loss & Expense Claim.

If you are planning to take the matter to Arbitration or Litigation then our team would in this situation also require that your legal advisors review your Loss & Expense Claim and provide commentary and direction of what they believe to be “at issue” and require us to focus on substantiating in our Report. This will provide best results for the case.

Also as we do in Adjudications, we can provide a defective works valuation if that is required for disputes about release of retention monies/bank guarantees or under payment by the owner/principle/architect/engineer/Builder due to them having overstated the cost to correct alleged defects – See more about that at “Defective Works Valuations”
