Construction Claims
Built on
Evidence.
Defended by
Analysis.
Ernst Planning Engineers provides specialist construction claims, delay analysis, planning and scheduling, and management contracting services.
Construction projects rarely become disputes overnight. The evidence accumulates long before the claim is made.
EPE helps contractors, employers and project stakeholders understand the contractual and commercial consequences of events occurring during construction.
We work through the project records, programmes, chronology, contractual provisions and other available evidence to establish what happened and what it means.
Specialist expertise for complex construction matters.
Construction Claims
Preparation, assessment and substantiation of claims arising from delay, disruption, variations, payment and other contractual events.
Delay Analysis & Mitigation
Analysis of project records and programmes to establish delay, causation, responsibility and impact on completion.
Planning & Scheduling
Programme development, progress tracking and schedule analysis providing a reliable factual foundation for project decision-making.
Management Contracting
Professional management of construction delivery through coordinated procurement, planning, administration and execution.
Facts first.
Analysis always.
A construction claim needs more than a narrative. It needs evidence, chronology, analysis and a clear connection to the contract.
Understand the Facts
We establish the project chronology, contractual context and factual circumstances surrounding the event.
Analyse What Happened
Project records, programmes and other evidence are examined to determine delay, disruption, causation and impact.
Establish Entitlement
The facts and analysis are considered against the relevant contractual provisions and available entitlement.
Build the Case
The resulting position is structured into a clear, logical and evidence-based claim.
The claim is only as strong as the evidence behind it.
Claims can arise from many different events during the life of a construction contract. EPE approaches each matter through its specific facts, records and contractual circumstances.
Keep the project record as strong as the project itself.
EPEsitetrack is a construction project reporting platform developed by Ernst Planning Engineers to make project information easier to capture, organise and monitor.

Construction claims often involve confidential project, contractual and commercial information. We respect that confidentiality.
For this reason, EPE does not need to publicly identify every client or project in order to demonstrate the nature of our expertise.
Our focus is on the quality of the analysis, the strength of the evidence and the clarity of the resulting position.
