Any project within construction and engineering aims to avoid disputes, which can affect a project delivery and impact budget and resources.
One key route to avoiding disputes as a project progresses is change management. As a project develops, changes are inevitable, but efficient project planning and a systematic change management process can mean possible disputes over time and cost can be avoided.
From the offset, contracts and procurement can also be effectively managed to ensure disputes are avoided. The Critical Path team can provide legal advice on the drawing up of contracts as well as contractual issues as a project progresses and also should judicial hearings occur.
The Critical Path team can also aid dispute avoidance by being brought on board to projects to monitor and review on a consultant basis. Employing various techniques for forensic time analysis and planning including project forecasting, probability analysis and ‘what if’ testing, the team can also produce mitigation strategies, to reduce the impact of changes on a project against its budget, resources and delivery.

One key approach the Critical Path team takes to avoiding disputes is change management. As a project develops, changes are inevitable, but efficient project planning and a systematic change management process can mean possible disputes over time and cost can be avoided.
Other routes to avoid disputes include clear contract and procurement processes, as well as robust project management including project forecasting, probability analysis and ‘what if’ testing.
No matter what stage the project is at, the Critical Path team can offer expertise and guidance to avoid disputes and settle issues as they arise.
From the offset, the Critical Path team can provide legal advice on the drawing up of contracts as well as highlighting and clarifying contractual issues, both before and as a project progresses.
The Critical Path team can also aid dispute avoidance by being brought on board to projects to monitor and review on a consultant basis. Using their experience and knowledge from public and private sector projects, the Critical Path team have created programmes to measure and manage project performance and changes; both areas in which disputes commonly arise.
The team can also produce mitigation strategies, to reduce the impact of changes on a project against budget, resources and delivery.
