Construction Cost Control

CLAIM GENERATION AND DEFENSE

Being proactive is the least expensive path. We can identify problems and implement corrections early in the process. If a dispute occurs, Hammerhead has substantial experience in quantifying construction damages in areas such as schedule delay and disruption, design deficiencies, lost productivity and lost profits.

The Hammerhead team is expert at investigating and formulating claims for both owners and contractors. Be it time impact, schedule delay or other hindrances and cost impacts. Once the claim is generated, our team’s negotiation skills are legendary in the industry. Should a claim move beyond negotiation, we provide assistance throughout all phases of litigation – managing and preparing documents and requests, interrogatories, preserving information and assisting in depositions. Our professionals have testified on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants in federal and state proceedings, before administrative agencies and in mediation and arbitration. We have advised and testified in cases involving project management, scheduling, labor productivity analysis, damages quantification, cost estimating and auditing, acceleration, delay, cost escalation, change order management and costing, lost profits and interest, insurance claims and cost quantification including labor, material and equipment.
