Intelligence, accelerated.
We build, not buy. An in-house engineering team writes the systems our experts deploy: tools that digest 100,000 documents in the time it takes others to review 100.
We automate the preparation. Never the judgment.
The construction disputes market is racing to adopt AI as a shortcut. Firms are using it to draft opinions, generate reports, and produce deliverables at speed. The result is work that looks efficient but cannot withstand forensic scrutiny.
We took a different view. We hired engineers and built our own systems. They process over 100GB of project data per matter: correspondence, site records, contract documents, programme files. Classified, cross-referenced, and structured chronologically in hours rather than weeks. The expert starts from an organised evidence base, not a folder of unsorted PDFs.
But the tools stop where the judgment begins. Every opinion is formed by a partner. Every conclusion is traceable to source. Every method is disclosable. Technology clears the path so our experts can focus on the only thing that wins disputes: the quality of the analysis.
Algorithmic evidence structuring
The days of billing hundreds of hours to read unindexed PDFs are over. Thousands of documents, from correspondence to site records to meeting minutes, are classified and structured chronologically in hours, each one still linked to its source. The expert begins their analysis from a perfectly organised, fully traceable evidence base.
Forensic interrogation pivot
Technology isolates the anomalies: schedule logic shifts, unapproved clause deviations, mathematical discrepancies, the documents that support a position and the documents that cut against it. Our senior practitioners then interrogate these pivot points, applying decades of site and tribunal experience to separate genuine compensable events from background noise.
Partner-led execution
AI cannot testify. Every judgment, liability apportionment, and valuation is formed by a testifying partner. From CPR Part 35 Expert Reports to rapid Adjudication Referrals, our outputs are entirely traceable, disclosable, and built to withstand aggressive cross-examination.
An engineering bench most consultancies do not have.
Behind the advisory practice sits a permanent engineering team. They design, build, and run production software across the construction lifecycle: platforms running the daily operations of contracting businesses, systems watching live projects for emerging contractual risk, and the forensic engine our experts deploy on disputes. We built these systems for ourselves, to support our own practice. Our clients get the benefit of them on every instruction.
Operational platforms
Production systems running the day-to-day of construction businesses: compliance, training, workforce, site access, and land acquisition intelligence. We understand operational records because we build the systems that create them.
Early warning
Systems that read project correspondence, programmes, and contract terms as they are generated, and flag contractual risk while there is still a commercial window to act. Scored, evidenced, and traceable to source.
Evidence intelligence
The forensic platform behind our method: ingestion at scale, chronology reconstruction, and proposition testing, with every finding traceable to the underlying document and an audit trail built for disclosure.
- •Human review and sign-off before any output leaves the firm
- •Method notes accompany every technology-assisted deliverable
- •Every output traceable to source documents. No black boxes.
- •Client data isolated per matter. No cross-matter model training.
- •Built in-house by our own engineers, not licensed from a software vendor
