Claims Management
Delays, disruption, productivity losses and contractual disputes can significantly affect the outcome of complex capital projects. Techne PMC helps owners, contractors and legal counsel understand, quantify and resolve these issues through independent claims analysis, forensic schedule review, damages quantification and dispute resolution support.
Our Claims & Dispute Resolution team combines deep project controls expertise with practical construction and project management experience. We identify the root causes of delay and disruption, assess entitlement and quantum, and develop evidence-based positions that are clear, objective and defensible.
Whether engaged early to avoid escalation or once a dispute is underway, we support clients through negotiation, mediation, arbitration and litigation. Our work is grounded in project records, objective data and industry-recognized methodologies, helping stakeholders make informed decisions while protecting project value and maintaining project momentum.
Why Techne PMC ?

Our professionals have held senior roles across mining, energy, industrial and infrastructure projects, giving us a practical understanding of the commercial, contractual and operational challenges that frequently give rise to claims and disputes.
This experience allows us to bring a balanced perspective to every mandate. We understand both owner and contractor viewpoints and provide technically sound, independent advice that supports timely, evidence-based decision-making.

Expert witness
When disputes escalate into arbitration or litigation, Techne provides expert witness services, leveraging our team’s expertise in construction contracts, project management, and claims analysis. We present clear, credible testimony in legal proceedings, and assist legal teams by providing detailed, well-supported evidence to strengthen our clients’ position.
At the core of our expert witness services is the development of detailed expert reports. For an expert report to be effective, it must clearly summarize the expert’s findings, conclusions, and professional opinions, providing the court or dispute resolution body with the information needed to understand the technical aspects of the case. Our qualified expert witnesses are highly skilled in preparing credible reports and have access to our multidisciplinary team, ensuring that each report is supported by robust insights.
