Construction Contract Claims Compliance
Our team ensures compliance with FAR requirements, including standard FAR clauses, Part 31 costing, cost allowability and allocability, the Corps of Engineers Regional Equipment Cost and Ownership Guides and other relevant third-party cost recovery publications. We also adhere to industry-standard contract clause requirements, such as changes clauses, work suspension clauses, force account pricing, differing site conditions clauses (Type I and II), disputes clauses and claim certification requirements.
We Understand Complex Construction Contract Claims
Construction contract claims damages, also known as quantum, is the financial analysis of complex and often contentious projects. This process involves assessing and quantifying financial losses or damages incurred by one party (typically a project owner, contractor or subcontractor) due to events or circumstances that impacted the construction project.
Contruction Contract Claims Project Management
Imperium has been engaged by various parties, including general contractors, subcontractors and project owners. To help quantify damages for these parties, our team manages, prepares, defends, presents and negotiates construction contract claim damages and change orders. We assist in establishing project-level management procedures for change management, including tracking, documentation, contractual notices and cost recording methods. Then, we evaluate costs associated with labor and equipment inefficiencies due to acceleration and disruption.
How We Approach Construction Contract Claims Costs
Our team assesses delay damages related to field office overhead, home office overhead and equipment standby. We also identify and link cost overruns to causal events. Our Construction Contract Claims specialists document and establish overhead rates for field office overhead, home office overhead and joint venture overhead allocations in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements or other contractual or industry standards.
