Comprehensive range of dispute management solutions
We offer a range of alternative dispute resolution solutions, including:
- Commercial advice for contractual and procurement disputes
- Analytical and data-driven investigation of the project’s processes and timelines
- Comprehensive cost analysis
- Independent assessment of potential outcomes
- Project-focused, outside-the-box thinking for win-win solutions.
Preventative management problem-solving solutions
Our alternative dispute management solutions provide the platform you need to not only recover costs, but also minimise recurrences and reduce further impact to the project.
Our software can be used retrospectively to assess where and why the delay occurred in the time process of your project. From this, we determine how to mitigate the delay, so further setbacks don’t arise.
How do we do it?
Comprehensive data collection software
Successful mediation starts with comprehensive data collection. Our proprietary software suite collects vital information to identify potential shortcomings in the process that led to the disputes.
Logic+
Logic+ performs calculations of planning files to determine a project’s critical path from planning to completion.
It’s a powerful software that uses comprehensive algorithms to deliver a precise working tree and key construction milestones for complex projects.
- A critical tool in delay analysis
- Identifies when key milestones are missed
- Identifies how this impacts the deadlines on the rest of your projects.
- Removes error and disputable assumptions, reducing an outcome's vulnerability to dispute
- Shaves weeks off the process of formulating a critical path on a complex project.
SMART
SMART (Site Mapping and Resource Tracking) tracks resources in real-time across your projects and records their movements and downtimes.
SMART includes GPS and heat mapping of personnel on site. This gives you a detailed, comprehensive, data-driven analysis of resources and resource management.
- Powerful, exclusive software
- Identify the reason for delay
- Identify who is accountable
- Complete visibility of your resources across your site in real-time
- Eliminates uncertainty of what's happening on the ground
- A 'source of truth' in any dispute.
Claim Predict
Claim Predict is the final piece of the puzzle for assessing the cost and outcome of a potential claim.
It uses algorithmic modelling, forensic analysis and the aggregation of the project team’s collective knowledge to determine the likely costs of delays and the likely outcome of disputes.
- Performs complex cost calculations for project delays
- Allows you to enter negotiation with clean and fair intent
- Prevents under-predicting costs.
