⚖️ Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

​

As the Principal Director of the business, I'm an adjudicator, expert determiner, and arbitrator.  These roles are separate from expert evidence, and involve making a final and binding determinations span a broad range of construction issues, including:

​

• Delay and disruption;

• Variations;

• Payment and valuation matters;

• Quantum of loss and damage;

• Defects;

• Technical and engineering issues;

• Contract interpretation;

• Performance and compliance issues.

​

🛡️ Dispute Avoidance and Resolution Board (DAB)

​

As the principal of CFPM Solutions, I provide specialist Dispute Board services designed to keep projects moving smoothly and collaboratively.  I bring a unique blend of civil engineering and construction law expertise, enabling me to deliver practical, strictly independent, and commercially grounded guidance throughout the life of a project.

​

My role focuses on preventing disputes before they escalate, by offering clear advisory opinions that help parties resolve issues early and maintain strong working relationships.  I also provide binding decisions, ensuring issues are resolved efficiently so that teams continues to stay focused on delivery.

​​

With a commitment to fairness, transparency, and independence, I help projects to avoid delays and achieve better outcomes.

​

​​​​​📑 Expert Evidence and Expert Witness

​

In addition to the above services, I also provide expert witness and expert evidence services for disputes involving programming, delay, disruption and the resulting valuation of the loss and damage.  These matters require a cause‑and‑effect analysis, which includes identifying the events and examining their root causes.

​

Root causes may involve:

• Technical or engineering issues;

• Project management and constructability issues;

• Defects;

• loss of productivity issues;

• Access or sequencing constraints;

• Variations and scope changes.

​​​

Expert evidence services include:

• Expert witness;

• Independent opinion evidence on programming, delay, disruption and resulting loss and damage;

• Cause‑and‑effect (causal link) analysis;

• Assessment of delay, disruption and EOT matters;

• Analysis of technical, engineering, defect‑related, productivity‑related or other contributing factors;

• Explanation of how particular events resulted in delay and associated impacts;

​​​

These services assist courts, arbitrators and tribunals by setting out clear technical findings and the reasoning behind them.

​

📊 Front‑End and Delivery Planning & Project Controls

​

In addition to the above service lines, CFPM Solutions provides project programming and project control services across the whole of project life cycle.  This work maintains accurate and up‑to‑date program information and supports assessment of the effects of project events.

​

Services include:

• Preparation of tender and baseline programs;

• Resource‑loading and cost‑loading;

• Updating baseline programs during delivery;

• Development of Progress Measurement Baselines (KPIs);

• Implementation of Earned Value Management (EVM);

• Contemporaneous delay and disruption analysis;
