Construction Claims

The expert may evaluate the original scope, revised work, change documentation, project correspondence, labor and material records, and associated costs. This analysis can help determine what changed during the project, how the change was documented, and whether the amounts or impacts asserted in the claim are supported by the available project records.

Productivity claims concern alleged losses in labor or operational efficiency associated with project events or changed conditions. An expert may examine labor records, planned and actual performance, project conditions, contemporaneous documentation, and the methodology used to calculate an asserted productivity impact. The appropriate analysis depends on the available data and circumstances of the project.

An expert may compare payment applications with contracts, approved changes, completed work, supporting cost records, and other project documentation. The analysis can help counsel understand disputed amounts, the basis for payment requests, and whether the records support the construction work or costs being claimed.
