Services


The services provided by the Directors of TQEF include:

  • Commercial troubleshooting and recovery of projects.
  • Independent pre-claims advice, whether to prospective claimants or respondents/defendants.

Dispute Resolution

  • Technical advice in relation to claims preparation.
  • Appointments as independent delay expert witness.

  • Acting as Adjudicator, Arbitrator, Mediator or Expert Determiner.
  • Acting as members of Dispute Resolution Boards.
     

The key to successful delivery of reliable and objective consultancy advice and performance in the context of all of the above services offered by TQEF is a firm understanding of the practical aspects of the construction process at the heart of the dispute, as well as any external factors which may be relevant to the analysis. Once this is established, a firm grasp of all facts relevant to the quantum or delay analysis is then crucial.

In order to communicate the product of expert analysis and resulting opinion to clients, attorneys, and any relevant tribunal (whether in the context of adjudication, arbitration or litigation) it is essential to be able to set those facts down in report format (as well as expressing them orally) in a clear and concise manner, and in their proper context. We pride ourselves on the quality and clarity of our written reports.


The Directors of TQEF ensure that these principles are followed in order to deliver high quality advice to clients by direct involvement at every stage of the dispute resolution process from initial review, investigation and analysis, through to final report preparation.

We operate in the same international forensic arena as much larger consultancies, and are seen by our peers and instructing attorneys as a boutique firm which can “box above our weight”. Furthermore, we do not need to keep a major workforce employed, or to gratify the financial aspirations of external or overseas shareholders; this allows us to tailor the analyst team we bring to each appointment appropriately and proportionately.

For major appointments we have a team of associates who work with us on a regular basis for the additional specialist analyst personnel needed for proper conduct of major quantum expert appointments.
