Pacific Highway Upgrade Project in northern New South Wales

Accura Consulting’s forensic quantum and delay experts were retained by the Design and Construct JV to help prosecute the claim and settle the dispute.
Our team undertook an extensive review of entitlement provisions contained within the conditions of contract to justify the JV’s contractual position, before then setting out the entitlement in an extensive claim document.
As part of our tailored solution, we undertook a forensic analysis to collate and review pertinent project information including site diaries and the cost ledger.
Important to the claim was our ability to provide robust identification of direct and in-direct costs and producing cost schedules as part of the claim for quantum.
The result of our work was the successful agreement of a settlement between the JV and client using claim documents produced by Accura Consulting.
