Arbitration in Engineering

When construction disputes arise, we bring engineering rigour to their resolution. Drawing on decades of design and site experience, we assess claims over quality, delay, variations, and cost, examine the evidence, and provide independent technical opinion and arbitration support. Our aim is fair, well-founded outcomes grounded in the facts of the project and the standards that govern it.

Engineering arbitration
(10)Overview

How we work

Construction disputes turn on facts, contracts, and engineering judgement, and we work at the intersection of all three. We examine the record — drawings, correspondence, site instructions, programmes, and payment certificates — to establish what was designed, what was built, and where responsibility lies, framing our analysis against the contract terms and the Saudi Building Code and international standards that governed the works.

Our delay analysis sets the as-planned programme against the as-built record to identify critical-path events, concurrency, and entitlement, while quantum and variation assessments test claimed costs against measured works and agreed rates. Defect and quality disputes are evaluated by inspection and reference to specification, so that conclusions rest on evidence rather than assertion.

We act as independent technical experts and provide arbitration support, setting out findings in clear, defensible reports that a tribunal or the parties can rely on. Because the same teams design, document, and supervise projects, our opinions are grounded in how buildings are actually procured and built in the Kingdom.
