The role of claims consultants and forensic delay experts
We were engaged to deliver:
Forensic delay analysis to determine critical path impacts
Disruption assessment to quantify productivity loss and inefficiencies
Expert opinion to support the client’s position in dispute resolution
The project’s inner-city location, heritage elements, and evolving design requirements contributed to significant logistical and coordination challenges.
Accura reviewed extensive project documentation, including contractor schedules, variation claims, and site records, to provide clear insight into the timing and disruption issues.
Outcome
Our independent analysis supported the client in formal dispute proceedings, strengthening their position with a fact-based and logical assessment of time-related impacts.
The engagement reflects Accura’s growing track record in providing specialist delay and disruption expertise for high-profile commercial developments across Australia.
