Construction Claim Analysis and Preparation
Construction claim analysis or construction claim preparation is offered by Lyle Charles Consulting Inc.
in the following areas:
- Claims associated with incomplete, poorly coordinated, “design as you go” contract documents.
- Claims associated with increased scope of work due to design changes and revisions.
- Claims associated with slow Request for Information (RFI) responses.
- Claims associated with slow shop drawing approval or significant shop drawing approval changes.
- Claims associated with down time, inefficiencies and lost productivity issues.
- Claims associated with stacking of trade and schedule acceleration issues.

- Claims associated with cancellation or suspension of the work issues.
- Claims associated with scope of work complexity issues.
The value of professional construction claim preparation and analysis is more than just monetary. Ideally, all parties will document key details of the agreement as a basic risk-management technique. But too often, documentation takes a back seat to the actual work—that is, until inevitable changes arise and the financial reality of the project sets in. This is the time when costly, delaying construction claims are filed.
Professional construction advisory services that deal specifically with claim analysis and preparation can help ensure proper submission of claims, investigation, and analysis to minimize the financial and logistical impact of the claim as well as the burden to the contractor, subcontractor, and/or owner.
