Claims & Variations

Where disputes arise, expert advice is needed to help you navigate what can soon become a complex web of claims and counterclaims. We specialise in establishing each party’s rights and obligations, and in providing expert advice on preparing and submitting variations and contractual claims to mitigate financial and reputational exposure.

Claims and variations are common occurrences in construction contracts; effectively managing them can significantly influence project outcomes. Proper preparation and submission of variations and contractual claims are crucial for parties seeking additional time and payment  on a project.

At Kingsbourne, we specialise in establishing parties’ respective rights and obligations in situations where additional resource time becomes necessary. Determining these rights and obligations provides clarity as to whether the contractor is entitled to additional time and payment, and whether the employer body must compensate accordingly.  

We have the necessary depth and breadth of experience in contract administration strategies and the management of related claims and variations to successfully advise on these critical matters. Our proactive approach includes advising on the drafting of all contractual communications, and implementing onsite record-keeping systems designed to protect your interests and ensure the smooth progression of your projects.
