Disputes, Insolvency and Claims

Dispute Avoidance

Resolving construction disputes is a time-consuming and costly process. At Overford we firmly believe that prevention is better than the cure. However, we understand that time constraints, external pressures, and the need to get a job over the line can take your focus away from having appropriate commercial protection in place.

This is where the team excel. They will support you to ensure that controls can be developed. This will ensure you avoid and mitigate potential future issues.

Claims Strategy and Avoidance

Our team regularly produce quality, fully particularised claim submissions in clear narrative form. Each will have a detailed, tabulated evidence bundle. The bundle identifies the issues and sets out the contractual and legal position, including the application of the rights and rules to the issue.

Any Overford narrative will present the information in an easy-to-understand document. This clearly sets out the contractual position, showing causation and the effect on the works. If necessary, you will find a robust critical path analysis, supported by a quantum assessment.
