KPMC supports clients, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and designers through the full claims and dispute process. The service is deliberately practical, starting with a review of the contract, the facts and the available records, then moving quickly into strategy, entitlement, programme analysis and quantum support.
A practical approach to dispute resolution
The starting point is always the contract and the facts. Before forming a position, the team reviews the contractual framework, the project records and the key events to understand the shape of the dispute and where the strongest arguments lie.
That early assessment helps the client make informed decisions about strategy and commercial risk before committing significant time and cost to the formal process.
From early assessment through to settlement
KPMC provides end-to-end support across the full claims lifecycle: early case review, entitlement analysis, programme and delay analysis, quantum assessment, and preparation of the claim narrative and supporting documentation.
Where required, the team also supports mediation, adjudication and wider formal proceedings, working alongside the client and their legal advisors to present a credible and well-structured case.
Case example: M&E subcontractor on a power project
In one notable engagement, an M&E subcontractor on a major power project faced withheld payment, no extension of time and the threat of delay damages. The subcontractor needed expert support to present a detailed delay and quantum claim.
KPMC helped the subcontractor prepare a comprehensive submission covering entitlement, programme analysis and associated costs. The outcome was a full extension of time and a negotiated commercial settlement on the associated financial claim.
Why structured claims support matters
Claims that are well-organised, clearly reasoned and properly supported by records are far more likely to succeed than those that rely on generalised allegations or incomplete evidence.
A structured approach also helps keep the process proportionate. By focusing early on the strongest points and the clearest evidence, the team can avoid unnecessary cost and move the dispute towards resolution more efficiently.
