What We Advise On

Benefit From an Independent Perspective

Expert Witness

We provide independent expert support for complex construction disputes, including adjudication and arbitration. Our experts bring deep industry experience and deliver credible, clearly reasoned reports and testimony across matters of delay, disruption and quantum.

Claims Consulting

Having the knowledge and capability to prepare contractually compliant and effective claims increases the predictability of outcomes and supports positive working relationships between parties. When appointed, Oakwood Consulting proactively identifies events giving rise to claims, ensuring strict compliance with contractual requirements for notification, submission, and updates. We compile claims using best-practice methods to meet all contractual obligations and strengthen entitlement. Our claims strategy and advisory services provide pragmatic, outcome-focused guidance, helping clients direct their resources toward approaches most likely to achieve successful results.

Contract Strategy

Providing advice throughout the project life cycle from contract strategy and selection, procurement route, risk management, contract administration, project performance reporting, ensuring commercial interests are identified and protected. We review tender documents, identify commercial risks, and help you develop strategies for managing them. This includes bid/no-bid decisions, risk assessment, pricing strategy, and contract negotiation support.

Due Diligence Support

Audits provide organisations with assurance that processes, procedures, and services are performing as intended. They give senior management confidence that the business is operating effectively and in compliance with both internal and contractual requirements.
