Contract administration, construction claims and extension of time
Most disputes start with a missed notice or a poorly recorded change, and a claim is only as strong as the records behind it. We run contract administration so entitlements are protected from day one, and prepare or defend variations, extension of time and claims under NEC, NZS 3910, NZS 3916, FIDIC and AS4000 with the evidence to stand up to scrutiny.
What is included
- Contract review and a register of key dates and obligations
- Early warnings, compensation events and formal notices
- Variations, contra charges, retentions and bonds
- Subcontract administration, payment certification and monthly contract reporting
- Entitlement review against the contract and the records
- Formal delay analysis: Time Impact, Windows, As Planned versus As Built, Collapsed As Built
- Variation and claim preparation, quantum and submission
- Review and defence of claims made against you
- Negotiation strategy through to agreement and final account
Track record
On a $300M, 170 MWdc solar programme under NEC, certified progress claims of up to $3M a month, and a structured negotiation strategy recovered just over $4M in variations and claims and around two months of extension of time.
