Damages Analysis & Quantification

Professional Services

Construction claims are often the result of cost overruns, time delays or construction defects, all of which are qualitatively visible. Quantification of damages associated with construction claims is a diligent effort, as they are often intertwined between various aspects of the project, such as cost estimating, scheduling, sequencing and project management. Spire Consulting Group’s claims consultants are experts in the quantification, presentation and evaluation of construction damages including:

• Damage cause and effect
• Direct damages (labor / material / equipment / subcontract)
• Extended project costs (general conditions / general requirements)
• Expanded project costs
• Labor productivity loss / disruption
• Cost escalation
• Home office overhead costs

Often the most contentious aspect of a claim is the discrepancy between parties’ quantification of the claim. Having assisted with claims evaluation of public and private sector projects on behalf of owners and contractors alike, Spire is equipped to identify liability and quantify damages in a timely and cost effective manner that best serves the interest of our clients.

Spire’s services that may complement your need for damages analysis and quantification include:
