Project Claims: Managing Claims, Negotiation, Arbitration and Litigation
At Alvid Consulting, We support our customers in complex projects where the contractual and financial stakes are high. One of the critical levers of performance: the proactive, structured claims management.
Why are claims unavoidable?
In large-scale projects (infrastructure, energy, industry, transport), contractual claims frequently arise:
🔹 Site access delays,
🔹 Scope modifications,
🔹 Interface problems,
🔹 Unforeseen conditions.
A claim is a formal request from financial compensation and/or deadline extensions based on contract.
What is a Successful Claim?
A claim is not based on a simple letter. It is technically and legally sound, with :
✅ A clearly documented generating event,
✅ A planning impact analysis (P6 / CPM / TIA),
✅ A quantified financial justification,
✅ A solid contractual basis (FIDIC, CCAG, NEC, etc.).
Primavera P6: The essential tool
Our team uses Primavera P6, to build robust claims with :
Time Impact Analysis (TIA),
Identifying delays on the Critical Path,
Scenario simulations (“What if analysis”),
Explicit report and Gantt generation.
Objective: justify a EOT (Extension of Time) or a documented surcharge.
From Claim to Settlement
A good claim starts with amicable resolution :
🟦 Contradictory meetings,
🟦 Mediation or conciliation,
🟦 Updated schedule and contract terms.
Our role? Defending your interests while ensuring operational continuity.
If Amiable Fails: Arbitration or Litigation
