Every construction project is a prototype and because of this change is inevitable. That change may involve increases in quantity, changes in quality or adjustments to the time available for the works. All change brings with it challenges and it is how those challenges are resolved that can make a difference.

Increasingly our clients at Equitas Consulting appreciate the merits of engaging our claims management services from the outset of a construction project, rather than waiting until a problem, claim or dispute has developed.

We also know that many claims and disputes can be avoided altogether and most can be reduced significantly, if addressed in the right way and at the right time. Challenges arise, but it is how you resolve them that will make the difference.

Equitas Consulting involvement in the management of claims has directly resulted in:

• Avoidance of claims and/ or a reduction in the number of claims
• Reduced cost of claims
• Improved recovery and proper evaluation of claims received
• Avoidance of costly disputes, as issues are dealt with contemporaneously
• Improved project monitoring
• Time constraints and budgets being met
