CALTROP is known for innovative approaches to preventing and resolving time and cost overruns on major construction projects. CALTROP offers clients a full spectrum of construction claims services including the prevention, investigation, evaluation and resolution of construction disputes. We enable our clients to complete projects on time and within budget, while minimizing claims and other problems.
CALTROP begins with a careful analysis of the situation to identify problems before they occur. In this regard, our strength lies not only in what we accomplish for our clients, but in what we help them avoid. When dealing with a contract dispute, we recommend the best course of action, supported by the most compelling evidence. We also conduct and encourage alternative dispute resolution through negotiation and provide mediation services whenever and wherever possible. Our analysis typically compares planned versus actual design and construction in three-dimensional terms. These terms consider resourcing, means, methods and logistical constraints, as well as the conduct of the parties involved. We identify the critical path, passages of delay and acceleration, existence of constructive changes, estimating errors, untimely changes and other relevant factors, and we accurately quantify damages. Each project is uniquely different. At the outset, after carefully considering our clients’ needs, we establish the exact course of action to be taken.
CALTROP’s services includes, but not limited to:
- Contract Document Review
- Claims Avoidance
- Claims Evaluation & Resolution
