Damages Analysis
In order to properly determine the extent of damages suffered by a participant in a construction project, it is usually necessary to sift through voluminous financial information that has been created during the course of the project. The financial experts at Navigant Consulting understand the accounting and cost control systems used on construction projects, and are expert at using these records to perform or evaluate damage calculations. Our efforts are focused on identifying the root causes of cost overruns or inefficiencies, and isolating the impact of specific events or actions on direct and indirect costs. When reviewing claims prepared by the opposition, our experts perform an in-depth evaluation of the methodologies employed in the claim calculations, including a critical examination of the supporting documentation. In performing our analyses, our professionals have a common objective to prepare accurate, well-documented findings, and present them in a clear and persuasive manner.
