FORENSIC ENGINEERING | EXPERT WITNESS SERVICES

Construction disputes are some of the most challenging conflicts businesses face. They often involve intricate contracts, unexpected site conditions, project delays, cost overruns, or technical failures. Resolving these issues successfully requires a solid strategy, and

engaging the right technical expert early can make all the difference.

At DAC Consulting Services, we work with clients to untangle the complexities of construction disputes. Over the years, we’ve provided expert witness services and forensic engineering expertise for major projects like the Skouries mine in Greece and LNG terminal expansions in Asia-Pacific. These experiences have shown us just how critical it is to bring technical experts on board early in the arbitration process.

Understanding the Challenges in Construction Disputes

Construction projects are inherently complex. With so many stakeholders and moving parts, disputes often arise over:

1. Delays: determining whether delays are excusable, compensable, or attributable to a particular party.

2. Cost Overruns: investigating whether cost increases were foreseeable or avoidable.

3. Technical Failures: identifying the root cause of issues such as design flaws, equipment breakdowns, or construction mistakes.

4. Contractual Obligations: clarifying whether parties met their contractual responsibilities around scope, timelines, and performance.

These challenges demand a technical expert’s perspective to analyze the evidence and provide clear, unbiased insights.
