Claims Preparation & Defence

Claims Preparation & Defence

Building robust claims grounded in evidence and contract

Claims are an inevitable part of complex construction projects. Whether you need to recover what you're entitled to or defend against an incoming claim, the quality of preparation makes all the difference. We bring a rigorous, methodical approach to claims — built on a solid contractual foundation and supported by clear evidence. Our process starts with a thorough assessment of the facts, the contract and the available records. We identify the strongest grounds for recovery or defence, then build a compelling narrative that ties the commercial position back to the contractual entitlement. Every figure is substantiated, every argument is reasoned. We support clients across the full claims lifecycle — from early notification and contemporaneous record-keeping through to final submission and negotiation. Whether the claim relates to variations, delay, disruption or loss and expense, our team delivers clear, well-structured submissions that stand up to scrutiny.
The claim submission Magero prepared was one of the most thorough and well-evidenced we have seen. It made the negotiation process significantly more straightforward.
