Services

Services already identified are often associated with dispute resolution. However, we identify dispute resolution as a separate service as our initial aim would be to provide previously identified services in such a manner that disputes are avoided rather than requiring resolution.

However, we are only too aware that this is not always possible and the only option left to parties is to seek forward resolution by means of adjudication, mediation, arbitration or through the courts. In all these areas of dispute resolution we are able to provide personnel with over 20 years of experience in the area of formal dispute resolution.

Members of the Adkins Associates team can act as Expert Witnesses in the area of quantity surveying, delay/programme analysis and mechanical and electrical engineering related matters.

We have extensive experience in the preparation of submissions on behalf of Employers, Contractors and Sub-Contractors in support of our clients’ contractual entitlement to issues such as extensions of time and the remuneration of associated costs expended as a result of delays and disruption to the undertaking of the contract works. We have also experience of providing support to the recipients of such submissions, providing advice as to the likely success of the submission and support to our client in the manner in which it is considered appropriate to respond.

We provide the full range of Delay Analysis as set out in the ‘ Society of Construction Law Delay and Disruption Protocol 2nd edition February 2017′ which includes the consideration and preparation of programmes for construction, the preparation of monthly updates against progress, the retrospective analysis of actual progress against planned and the forensic consideration of both planned and actual progress so as to identify the causes of any critical delay that may or may not have occurred.

Adkins Associates do not provide legal advice. However, we have a close working relationship with some of the country’s largest Construction Specialist Solicitors and are able, because of that ongoing relationship, not only to provide a preferential introduction to legal services but also to work alongside appointed legal representation in order to achieve a cost effective resolution of disputes and the like.

We have worked in the construction industry for over 25 years. In this time we have worked with a wide range of clients and sectors on projects of all types of disputes.

With all the lessons and experience we have gained over the years we are passionate to equip our clients. We offer training seminars & workshop which can be tailored to your needs. 

If you are interested in the any seminars or workshops then please contact us.
