Advisory
Independent Construction-Cost Analysis for Defined Dispute Scopes.
ATR can provide independent construction-cost analysis and reporting where a dispute, negotiation or formal proceeding requires a clearly defined quantity surveying opinion.
Service Overview
Expert / Witness Cost Reporting
Expert and dispute-related work requires a disciplined separation between instructions, evidence, assumptions and opinion. The scope should identify the cost question to be answered and the material the assessment can rely on.
When Independent Cost Analysis Is Required
- A construction-cost dispute requires independent analysis.
- A party needs a quantity surveying opinion on measured work, rates or cost consequences.
- Negotiation or proceedings require a structured cost assessment based on identified evidence.
Evidence and Cost Material We Examine
- Formal instructions and questions to be addressed
- Contracts, drawings, specifications and correspondence
- Claims, variations, invoices and supporting evidence
- Measured quantities, rates and relevant cost records
- Other expert material where relevant to the agreed scope
How the Report Is Structured
- Independent cost analysis addressing the instructed questions
- Clear identification of documents and assumptions relied upon
- Schedules of quantities, rates or calculations where relevant
- Report format appropriate to the agreed dispute / expert scope
