A practical infrastructure claims evidence system for organising contractual propositions, contemporary records, chronology and substantiation gaps before a claim dossier is assembled.
Document volume does not establish substantiation quality
A large file can leave the essential proposition unsupported. Ask what each document actually proves, retain contradictory evidence, and trace the missing links from contractual basis through fact, cause, impact and quantification.
Who it is for
Contracts engineers and claim engineers
Planning engineers and quantity surveyors
Project managers, consultants and commercial managers
