Construction claims support for subcontractors
Subcontractors carry the delay, disruption and payment risk of the projects they work on, usually under back-to-back terms and with fewer resources to fight a claim. Soteria prepares subcontractor claims against main contractors in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE, and supports subcontractors through negotiation and formal resolution.
Typical subcontractor claims we handle
- Extension of time where the main contractor's programme or other trades delayed the subcontract works
- Prolongation and disruption caused by out-of-sequence working, restricted access or late instructions
- Late payment, withheld certified amounts, set-off and back-charges
- Variations valued below cost, and measurement disputes at interim and final account
- Notices and time bars under the subcontract, and how to deal with missed notices
How we work with subcontractors
We start with the subcontract and the correspondence, tell you plainly where the entitlement lies, and prepare a submission that a main contractor's commercial team or an arbitral tribunal will take seriously. We can also set up the programme, progress and payment records on a live subcontract so that the next claim is already evidenced. Learn more →
