Contract Type Experience
NEC (NEC3 & NEC4) A collaborative, risk-sharing contract with strict programme management requirements. 🔹 Compensation Events (CEs) – Evaluating cost/time impacts per contract mechanisms. 🔹 Programme-Driven Analysis – Assessing delays using Time Impact Analysis (TIA). 🔹 Defined Cost Assessments – Ensuring fair valuation under NEC cost principles.
FIDIC FIDIC (Red, Yellow, Silver, Gold, Green Books) – A balanced contract model allocating risk between Employer & Contractor. 🔹 EOT & Cost Claims (Clause 8 & 20/21) – Assessing excusable, compensable, and concurrent delays. 🔹 Variations & Prolongation Costs (Clause 13 & 19) – Quantifying additional work and delay costs. 🔹 CPM-Based Delay Analysis – Using As-Planned vs. As-Built & Windows Analysis for impact assessment.
GCC GCC (General Conditions of Contract) – Common in public sector & infrastructure projects, with Engineer-led claim assessments. 🔹 Extensions of Time & Compensation (Clause 5.12) – Assessing entitlement for delays. 🔹 Prolongation & Disruption Costs – Evaluating contract variations & productivity impacts. 🔹 Engineer’s Determination & Dispute Resolution – Preparing claims for adjudication/arbitration.
Bespoke Risk & Entitlement Assessments – Evaluating customized compensation models. 🔹 Arbitration & Litigation-Ready Documentation – Structuring reports for legal proceedings. 🔹 Custom Delay & Cost Analysis – Applying contract-specific methodologies.

Specialist Quantum Assessment
At Lex Quantum, we specialize in accurate and defensible claim valuations, ensuring financial entitlements are precisely determined. Our approach begins with a meticulous contract analysis, aligning contractual terms with real project events. Using a structured and transparent methodology, we quantify claims and counterclaims with precision, ensuring fair cost allocation and financial clarity. Key Features: ✔ Contractual Review & Entitlement Assessment A claim’s success hinges on a strong contractual foundation. We conduct a detailed review of contract terms, conditions, and applicable clauses to establish entitlement and liability. Our analysis ensures that claims and counterclaims align with contractual obligations, statutory regulations, and industry best practices, reducing the risk of disputes being rejected on legal or procedural grounds. ✔ Transparent Valuation & Cost Analysis Using a structured and data-driven methodology, we ensure that all cost components are accurately assessed, including direct costs, prolongation costs, disruption losses, and variations. Our approach ensures transparency in quantifying damages, reinforcing claim credibility and facilitating negotiations. ✔ Productivity & Disruption Evaluations We apply industry-approved methods such as Measured Mile Analysis, Earned Value Analysis (EVA), and Comparative Cost Assessments to determine the financial impact of delays, inefficiencies, and site disruptions. This ensures that quantum assessments reflect actual financial losses rather than theoretical calculations. ✔ Comprehensive & Defensible Reporting A well-documented claim is a strong claim. We provide detailed reports that clearly present the basis of entitlement, cost analysis, and supporting evidence in a structured, legally sound format. Our reports are prepared to withstand adjudication, arbitration, or litigation scrutiny, ensuring our clients enter disputes with robust, well-substantiated claims.

Forensic Delay Analysis
At Lex Quantum, we provide precise, evidence-based forensic delay analysis, ensuring that time-related claims are accurately assessed and defensible. Our methodology identifies the root causes of project delays, quantifies their impact, and determines responsibility, ensuring fair and transparent resolution. We use industry-recognized forensic scheduling techniques to establish whether delays are excusable, compensable, or concurrent, providing our clients with a clear and factual position in claims or disputes. Key Features: ✔ Critical Path & Programme Analysis Delays are only compensable if they impact the project’s critical path. We conduct a detailed forensic review of the project schedule, analyzing baseline, updated, and as-built programmes to determine which activities drove the delay. Our expertise in CPM scheduling (Critical Path Method), float analysis, and impact evaluation ensures a clear assessment of the true delay impact on the contractual completion date. ✔ Time Impact & Cause Identification Using Time Impact Analysis (TIA), Windows Analysis, and As-Planned vs. As-Built methods, we pinpoint the exact causes of delay—whether due to design changes, unforeseen site conditions, client instructions, or contractor inefficiencies. This allows us to establish whether the delay is the responsibility of the Employer or the Contractor, determining entitlement to Extensions of Time (EOTs) and potential compensation. ✔ Concurrency & Liability Assessment Many disputes arise over concurrent delays, where both the Employer and the Contractor contribute to project delays. We conduct a structured concurrency analysis, separating Employer-responsible delays from Contractor-caused delays, and assessing how these affect EOT entitlement and cost recovery. Our reports provide a clear, objective breakdown of liability, reducing disputes and strengthening claim credibility.

Strategic Claims Documentation
At Lex Quantum, we specialize in structuring quantum and forensic delay analyses into clear, legally sound reports, ensuring that claims are well-documented, defensible, and dispute-ready. A well-prepared claim is often the difference between a successful recovery and a rejected claim. Our Strategic Claims Documentation service ensures that all technical, contractual, and legal aspects of a claim are presented in a manner that enhances its credibility and enforceability in negotiation, adjudication, arbitration, or litigation. Key Features: ✔ Comprehensive & Legally Structured Reports We transform technical assessments into clear, structured, and persuasive claims. Our reports integrate contractual references, forensic methodologies, and supporting evidence, ensuring claims are presented in a professional format that aligns with legal and procedural requirements. ✔ Clear & Concise Claim Narratives A strong claim must be logically structured and factually sound. We present claims in a clear, chronological manner, detailing the sequence of events, contractual obligations, and financial implications. Our approach minimizes ambiguity, ensuring decision-makers quickly understand the claim’s merit. ✔ Integration of Quantum & Delay Analysis We bridge the gap between cost and time claims, ensuring that quantum assessments and forensic delay analyses align cohesively. This prevents contradictions between financial entitlement and schedule impact, making claims more robust and credible. ✔ Evidence-Based Claim Substantiation A claim is only as strong as the evidence supporting it. Our reports incorporate: Programme data & critical path assessments (forensic delay analysis). Cost records, valuations & disruption impact assessments (quantum analysis). Contractual references, correspondence logs & site records to establish entitlement. This ensures that claims are factually backed, reducing the likelihood of rejection or dispute escalation. ✔ Dispute-Ready Documentation Whether for negotiation, adjudication, arbitration, or litigation, our reports meet the highest industry standards. We ensure claims are aligned with contract provisions, industry best practices, and legal requirements, making them credible and enforceable.
