Comprehensive Claims Assistance
The construction and environmental experts at Blue Marble Risk Solutions understand the complex business challenges facing our clients and their legal counsel as disputes, claims, and other legal matters arise. As an integral part of the client/consultant/attorney team, our consultants analyze complex construction issues to prepare and evaluate construction and environmental claims as claims consultants.
Building on our collective expertise and experience, Blue Marble Risk Solutions applies a targeted analytical approach to efficiently identify project failures and focus our analysis and substantiation efforts. Although financial reporting of project cost is where project impacts are realized, the project schedule is often the leading indicator of project issues, providing a comprehensive representation of actual events or circumstances that occurred during project execution. In this regard, our scheduling insight, combined with our unique understanding of industry best practices, facilitates solid and efficient dispute resolution analysis tailored to the facts of the case, the dispute resolution strategy, and the overall business objectives. Through the collective experience of our construction experts and environmental experts and our in-depth knowledge of construction and environmental industry best practices and standards of care, we efficiently unravel the complexities of capital projects and assess or validate entitlements and damage quantifications. We then prepare or rebut the construction or environmental claim in a clear and logical manner to promote efficient and equitable resolution.
Issues in which our consultants are experienced in addressing the resultant schedule and cost impacts include the following areas:
- Changed conditions
- Geotechnical & remediation issues
- Project development & execution industry standards
- Workmanship defects
- Engineering errors & omissions
Along with supporting the strategy for negotiation or mediation, the construction professionals at Blue Marble Risk Solutions also serve in the following capacities:
- Project Neutral or Initial Decision Maker (IDM)
- Dispute Review Board (DRB)
