Quantum Analysis

Quantum Analysis

BuildConex provides detailed quantum analysis for construction and infrastructure disputes, valuing claims and entitlements under the contract using project records and contemporaneous evidence.

How We Approach Quantum Analysis

Quantum analysis is not simply an exercise in adding up costs. It requires an understanding of the contract, the programme, the variation and claim mechanisms, and the contemporaneous records that show what was actually done, by whom, and why. Our analysis separates genuine cost entitlement from reconstructed or global claims that cannot be tied to a specific cause.

We assess each claimed item against the contract provisions, the approved scope, and the actual records. Where costs are disputed, we look at the tender allowances, the actual expenditure, the causation link, and the mitigation steps taken. The result is a valuation that can be defended under scrutiny.

Why Quantum Analysis Is Often the Decisive Issue

Many disputes ultimately turn on quantum. Even where liability or delay is established, the amount recoverable depends on whether the claimed costs were actually caused by the event, were properly mitigated, and are recoverable under the contract. Global or composite claims that lack a clear causal link are vulnerable to attack and can undermine an otherwise strong position.

Our quantum analysis reconstructs the true cost impact from the records, not from reconstructed narratives. We identify what was in the original scope, what changed, what was actually spent, and what was done to minimise the loss. That discipline is essential whether the matter is heading to settlement, adjudication, arbitration or litigation.

What We Cover

• Valuation of variations, extras and contract claims under the relevant contractual mechanism
• Assessment of disruption, prolongation and acceleration costs by reference to project records
• Reconciliation of costs against budgets, labour reports and supplier invoices
• Testing of global or composite claims against the actual cause-and-cost link
• Preparation of independent expert opinion on quantum for adjudication, arbitration and litigation

What You Receive

• A reasoned valuation schedule tied to specific contract clauses and delay events
• A clear cause-and-cost matrix linking each claimed item to contemporaneous evidence
• Independent expert opinion suitable for settlement, adjudication, arbitration or court
• Rebuttal and critique of opposing quantum submissions
