Prolongation, disruption and quantum claims
Time-related costs, disruption and loss of productivity are where most of a claim's value sits, and where most claims are rejected for lack of proof. Soteria quantifies and presents the cost consequences of delay and disruption for contractors, subcontractors and employers in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE.
What we do
- Prolongation costs — time-related site and head office costs for the period of compensable delay, tied to the extension of time analysis.
- Acceleration — instructed and constructive acceleration, and the thickening of resources that goes with it.
- Disruption and productivity loss — measured mile, baseline comparison and disruption quantification.
- Late payment and cash flow — interest, financing charges and payment-cycle breach.
- Loss of opportunity and overheads — head office charges and unabsorbed overhead recovery.
- Variations and final account — measurement and valuation of changed work, and reconciliation of the final account.
- Defence — review and rebuttal of quantum submitted against our clients.
How we evidence quantum
Quantity surveying, cost control and change management are part of our project controls practice, so the cost records, valuations and change logs a quantum claim depends on are the same ones we maintain on live projects.
