Disruption and delay often come from the same events but they are not the same. Delay concerns time. Disruption concerns efficiency.  V601 and White Constructions were about delay, but their value lies in how they define good evidence.

For QS experts, this case highlights the importance of context and reasoning in valuation.  The expert’s job is not to repeat what the contract says, but to interpret it through the facts of what was actually built. 

When delay claims reach court, one question dominates: what truly caused the delay, and can it be proved? In V601 Developments v Probuild, Justice Digby set the benchmark.

Santos v Fluor confirms that delay analysis is not an abstract exercise in software or spreadsheets. Delay Expert, Andrew McKenna explains how it is a forensic exercise rooted in evidence, requiring professional judgment, and clear reasoning.

Delay methodologies don’t always survive the evidence test. This case had as planned versus as built windows approach and a collapsed as built, or but for, analysis.

Santos Limited v Fluor Australia Pty Ltd provides one of the clearest explanations yet of what disruption means, how it must be analysed, and what level of proof the courts expect from experts and parties.

Disruption is an interference that disturbs or slows down a Contractor's usual working methods, leading to reduced efficiency. Disruption is not the same as delay, however a disruption can be the cause of a delay.

Two Australian cases have reshaped how tribunals view expert evidence in delay and quantum disputes. They set a clear benchmark for how quantum experts (quantity surveyors) must present evidence today.

A strong construction claims consultant helps parties deal with issues early, with clarity and evidence, so they can be resolved commercially rather than turning into a legal battle. The focus is simple: protect time, cost and relationships.

Scope changes, late information, access restrictions, resourcing issues, design development, approvals, interfaces – they all create delay, disruption and cost. That is where a construction claims consultant comes in.

The case of Peter Annison v Paul Nolan [2012] is a reminder for Delay Experts and Forensic Quantity Surveyors to stay firmly within the scope of their instructions.

Claims advisory represents an opportunity to turn potential problems into opportunities for resolution, keeping construction projects on schedule and within budget.

Dispute resolution is the process of resolving conflicts efficiently and effectively, ensuring your project stays on track and forensic quantity surveyors and delay experts play an important role.

Expertise is the cornerstone of effective project advisory services. Quantum Experts and Delay Experts are at the forefront, bringing unmatched precision and insight to every stage of a project. 

The construction industries in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, and Australia encounter distinct challenges in dispute resolution.

For Forensic Quantity Surveyors acting as Quantum Experts, understanding the difference between cost incurred and accrued cost is paramount.

Claims advisory services can help you save money and foster trust among stakeholders by handling disagreements professionally. 

Understanding how to calculate the cycle time of an excavator in a simple and clear way helps us figure out how efficiently an excavator works and how much it costs to move material.

The words planning and programming are often used interchangeably to describe two distinct functions of project management.

Complex construction projects come with their share of challenges. Engaging Quantum Experts and Delay Experts can be the difference between a project that thrives and one that falters.
