Our mission is to deliver transparent, accurate, and defensible cost and claims solutions that protect project timelines, budgets, and relationships across the defence infrastructure ecosystem.

What you get

Complete commercial control across your defence project — from a robust cost plan at design stage through to a fully agreed final account, with full audit-ready documentation at every stage of delivery.

Estimating

Accurate, evidence-based cost intelligence for defence infrastructure at every stage — from high-level feasibility budgets through to fully itemised Bills of Quantities. Our estimates are built from first principles, grounded in real benchmark data from comparable defence and infrastructure programmes, and structured to withstand the rigorous scrutiny that MOD procurement demands.

 

  • Preliminary and order-of-cost estimates at feasibility
  • RIBA Stage 1–4 elemental cost plans
  • Bill of Quantities preparation for MOD tender processes
  • Risk-adjusted cost modelling and contingency assessment
  • Cost benchmarking against comparable defence infrastructure
  • Independent cost review and validation
$

What you get

Reliable, defensible cost figures that hold up under MOD scrutiny — giving decision-makers the commercial confidence to commit to the next phase, or the clarity to recalibrate before significant cost is committed.

Dispute Resolution

Expert claims advice, preparation and defence for defence infrastructure contracts — where the commercial stakes are high, timelines are critical, and discretion is essential. We support clients through mediation, adjudication and arbitration, bringing deep technical and contractual knowledge of defence procurement to every dispute we handle.

 

  • Claims preparation, presentation and formal defence
  • Adjudication referral and response preparation
  • Mediation, adjudication and arbitration support
  • Expert advice on rights, obligations and entitlement
  • Extension of time and loss & expense assessment
  • Dispute avoidance strategy during construction phase
$

What you get

A technically grounded, commercially credible position — prepared with the discretion and rigour that defence disputes demand. Resolution-focused, not escalation-focused.

Contract Advisory

Strategic contract drafting and risk review aligned with MOD standards, government frameworks and bespoke defence agreements — providing clear, practical guidance on rights, obligations and risk across the full range of defence infrastructure contract forms.

 

  • MOD framework contract knowledge and advisory
  • NEC, JCT and bespoke defence contract advice
  • Strategic contract drafting and risk review
  • Risk allocation and mitigation strategy
  • Commercial governance and compliance
  • Contractual correspondence drafting and review
