Seeking the best solution

On any project things can go wrong. Occasionally this results in a dispute that if left unresolved can quickly escalate with disastrous consequences. The longer a dispute lasts, the greater the negative impact it can have on your business operations. The impact may be cost, time and reputational.

When you need to resolve a dispute quickly, calmly and effectively we can help. Brewer Consulting's international reputation for finding solutions to even the most protracted disputes makes us the ideal partner when you need to settle a potentially damaging conflict and get your business back on track.

Our focus is always on resolving disputes rather than contriving unmeritorious claims or defending the indefensible. From the outset we make sure we have a clear understanding of your real objectives. Then, working with you, we establish a clear, commercially-driven strategy that will ensure the earliest possible settlement on the most advantageous terms.

Our extensive experience of securing successful results around the world gives us a unique pool of knowledge and skills to draw upon. Our services include claim preparation and management, negotiation, alternative dispute resolution processes, and the provision of independent experts. Senior staff of Brewer Consulting practise regularly as arbitrators, dispute board members, and adjudicators and we have a presence on all of the principal adjudicator nominating panels.

Where litigation or arbitration is unavoidable, we have considerable experience of working as an integrated part of our clients’ legal teams, under the leadership of appointed solicitors or legal counsel.

Brewer Consulting offers genuine expertise in the independent assessment of cost claims and the analysis of the true causes of delay and disruption.

Claim preparation and analysis
We provide highly developed expertise in the assessment and presentation of the quantum of damages arising out of delay and disruption events or lost productivity in design and construction activities. Staff at Brewer Consulting utilise the most up to date modelling tools and are experienced at identifying the viable heads of loss and/or damage and ensuring these are correctly supported by appropriate evidence.

Delay analysis
We are acknowledged leaders in the analysis of the causes and effects of project delays.

Members of our team are successful programme managers and experienced planners. They are able to interrogate and analyse project programmes from first principles. Our staff are skilled in the use of the full range of critical path analysis software packages.

A number of our senior consultants are also established experts in the field of programming and delay analysis. We have a comprehensive and up to the minute understanding of the case law surrounding delay analysis and the significance of the legal issues raised.

Expert Evidence
It is a measure of Brewer Consulting's international experience and reputation that many of our senior consultants are regularly appointed to give evidence as expert witnesses within their specific disciplines. From the outset we actively support the investigation of the circumstances surrounding the claim to ensure the correct strategic decisions are taken. We can then adopt the role of expert and can give authoritative evidence to any court or tribunal.
