EKSI GLOBAL provides dispute consultancy and technical evaluation services for construction projects to resolve issues and disputes between project stakeholders, conduct technical due diligence on unfinished work, and assess project performance.

The process begins with determining the current situation, followed by a technical evaluation and a report presented to the client. Based on these findings, a new roadmap is created to prevent the recurrence of issues, and measures for improvement are outlined.

The services offered at each stage are as follows:

1. Due Diligence

• Contract Review: Examination of the terms and scope of the contract, determination of responsibilities between employers and stakeholders, identification of duties, and analysis of changing conditions.
• Discipline Control: Review of all project disciplines (architectural, mechanical, electrical, structural) to ensure compliance with relevant standards, contract scope, and employer demands.
• Progress and Completion Assessment: Evaluation of project progress and completion percentage for both finished and unfinished work, including detection of time extensions, non-conformities, change requests, and delays.
• Supporting Documentation Review: Evaluation of the project with supporting documents (photos, videos, etc.) and obtaining feedback from project participants.
• Financial Assessment: Review of progress payments, bill of quantities, and past payments; inspection of procurement and purchases to identify financial impacts from additional project costs.
• Additional Work Identification: Determining and documenting any additional work (increases/decreases), including job descriptions, locations, timeframes, and reasons for their absence from the contract.

2. Technical Evaluation and Reporting

• Scope Revision: Revising responsibilities and the scope of work based on new project conditions.
• Final Payments Calculation: Informing parties of final receivables and payables by calculating progress payments for completed work.
• Cost Analysis: Conducting accurate cost analysis for controversial items, considering the context and timing.
• Quality Assessment: Verifying the quality of completed work and calculating the cost required to bring it in line with contract standards.
• Stakeholder Communication: Ensuring effective communication between project stakeholders throughout the evaluation process.
• Dispute Resolution: Reporting on how to settle disputes without the need for legal proceedings.

3. Determining a New Roadmap

• Identifying Needs: Identifying specific project needs to avoid recurring issues and creating a roadmap for the successful execution and completion of the project.

EKSI GLOBAL’s comprehensive dispute consultancy services aim to resolve conflicts, ensure projects are completed efficiently, and prevent future issues, thus ensuring the smooth execution and success of construction projects.
