Brief

Claim evaluation and preparation.

What we did

Embedded with an augmented the Group Cobra commercial team. A detailed review of the draft delay analysis was undertaken to identify strengths, weaknesses and recommended changes to maximise the opportunity to settle the claim in commercial negotiations. Provided contractual and claims management support through to project completion.

Having submitted the delay analysis and revised claim for internal review we were retained to support the commercial team develop the quantum claim.

Outcomes

HKA assisted Grupo Cobra to investigate subcontractor claims for delays, alleged changes and disruption. HKA prepared for and participated in several mediation sessions for a number of subcontract claim matters, assisting Grupo Cobra to receive favourable settlements.
