Dispute & Adjudication Support, quantum evidence that holds up
Construction disputes are won or lost on documentation. Costed provides independent quantum analysis, prepares Scott Schedules, drafts expert cost expert reports and supplies adjudication-ready evidence under the Construction Act. We work for employers, contractors and subcontractors, but only one side per dispute.
- Quantum reports compliant with adjudication and TCC expectations.
- Scott Schedules prepared from primary records.
- Loss-and-expense claims tested against contract clauses.
- We act for one party only, no conflicts.
When to bring a quantum cost expert into a dispute
Bring quantum support in early, ideally before the formal notice, so the file you eventually rely on has been built rather than reconstructed under deadline. Adjudicators give weight to evidence that pre-dates the dispute and looks like it was kept contemporaneously, not assembled in the week before referral.
Frequently asked
Do you act as an expert witness?
Yes, on disputes within our practice scope. Where required we sign expert reports compliant with CPR Part 35 (litigation) or the equivalent adjudication and arbitration protocols.
Can you advise on whether to adjudicate at all?
Yes, and we'll be candid. Adjudication is fast and powerful but not always the right tool. We will tell you when negotiation has a better risk-adjusted return.
