Contracts administered so disputes never get the chance.
Day-to-day administration of FIDIC, CCDC and bespoke contracts: notices, valuations, variations, extensions of time, claims and dispute avoidance, by an engineer who has sat on both sides of the table.

Why it matters
Most claims are won or lost months before anyone calls a lawyer.
A missed notice period, an unrecorded instruction, a valuation that quietly accepted a rate: contracts are lost in the daily administration, not in the hearing room. We run that administration with engineering understanding of what actually happened on site and commercial discipline about what the contract says about it.
Canadian projects typically run on CCDC standard forms; Egyptian and Gulf projects on FIDIC. We work fluently in both, and in the bespoke amendments that owners and lenders add to them.
