Construction Forensics

Construction Forensics:Specialist consultants in construction disputes, delay analysis, and claims preparation - deploying proprietary AI forensic tooling (GridLens) for document-heavy cases.

Service - Expert Claims Analysis and Dispute Consulting

What it is

EMEA Contech provides construction forensics and claims analysis as an expert consulting service. We act as specialist consultants in construction disputes, delay analysis, claims preparation, and claims defense. Our experts deploy proprietary AI-powered forensic tooling that enables analysis of document-heavy disputes at a speed and depth that traditional methods cannot achieve.

The problem it solves

Construction disputes are fundamentally data problems. When claims arise, the evidence sits across thousands of documents in disconnected silos: drawings, correspondence, contracts, instructions, inspection records, financial records, and schedule data.

The standard manual process takes 4 to 6 weeks per major claim review. Critical relationships between documents are missed. Audit trails are incomplete. Expensive professional hours are consumed on data entry rather than expert analysis.

Core Capabilities

What it does

Delay Analysis

Forensic examination of schedules, correspondence, instructions, and site records. Methods include as-planned vs. as-built, impacted as-planned, time impact analysis, and collapsed as-built analysis.

Claims Preparation

Structuring and preparing contractor or employer claims with full documentary substantiation - quantum analysis, causation mapping, and narrative development that connects fact to entitlement.

Claims Defense and Review

Analysis of claims received from contractors, subcontractors, or employers. Assessment of factual basis, identification of weaknesses, and preparation of counter-arguments.

Dispute Documentation and Evidence Management

Organization and analysis of the full project document corpus to establish a single source of truth for dispute proceedings, with document relationship mapping.

Expert Opinion

Formal expert reports and expert witness support for arbitration, adjudication, mediation, or litigation proceedings.

How We Work - GridLens

Our forensic work is supported by GridLens, a proprietary AI forensic platform built specifically for construction disputes. Its hybrid architecture combines a vision layer that iteratively zooms, inspects, and validates fine details in drawings and scans, with a reasoning layer that maps complex entity relationships across the document corpus. GridLens is not available as a standalone product - it is the analytical engine our experts use to deliver faster, more thorough, and more defensible analysis.

  • Complete, traceable, auditable documentary evidence base for every claim position
