QUANTUM

Quantum experts are key in developing soundly reasoned and evidenced reports that can be essential in delivering the desired financial outcome to a dispute or hearing.

DIALES quantum experts are surveyors with many years of live project experience, before becoming involved in consultancy and expert work across a varied range of dispute resolution practices. Our team has an exceptional track record in delivery of a detailed practical approach, in order to achieve the best results, and respond to the challenges associated with tracking processes and vast quantities of data.

Our experts lecture widely in quantum matters such as methods of measurement, how to evaluate delay and disruption, and valuing work under various forms of contract. Some of our experts are published authors on their subject matter.

SERVICES

DIALESQUANTUM, TECHNICAL, DELAY ANALYSIS

TECHNICAL

Disputes requiring technical expertise often involve an elaborate technical matrix of fact and opinion. Complex calculations and interpretation of the impact of various competing causes are required.

DIALES can provide experts across various technical disciplines ensuring a prerequisite level and quality of industry experience. Our skills ensure delivery of concise reports that explain complex technical interactions in a clear and unambiguous manner. Disciplines include:

Building servicesMechanical and electricalProject managementContract administration

DELAY ANALYSIS

Delay analysis is among the most frequently debated disciplines provided by expert witnesses. There are a myriad of techniques, and a wide range of software, that can be used as tools to calculate the ‘answer’. DIALES experts find ways of presenting these complex arguments in a manner that is simple to understand and robust enough to withstand challenge.

DIALES delay experts have a minimum of 15 years’ practical industry experience before becoming involved in forensic analysis. This assures that our work is based on solid practical knowledge, avoiding the risk of a valuable report collapsing when the basis is tested during cross-examination.

Our delay team is happy to engage in early discussions as to the most appropriate method of analysis to suit your needs. Approaches may include, but not be limited to:

Time impact analysisAs planned vs. as builtCollapsed as planned

ARBITRATORS

With an accumulation of experience as experts in international arbitration, our leading experts have progressed to be nominated as arbitrator by clients and lawyers. These nominations are led by those who value technical expertise, tempered with experience and training in legal procedures and the law of arbitration.

DIALES arbitrators are chartered arbitrators qualified with the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators in the United Kingdom.

SERVICES

DIALESADJUDICATORS, ARBITRATORS, AND MEDIATORS

ADJUDICATORS

Adjudication is one of the world’s fastest methods of reaching a decision in construction dispute resolution. The starting point is often just 28 days.

In order to get a good quality decision in such a challenging timetable, it is essential to get the right adjudicator. DIALES has a selection of experienced and respected adjudicators.

Over the past few years the adoption and use of adjudication schemes, often backed by supporting legislation, has spread to many parts of the world and has become a fact of life for those working in many disparate jurisdictions. Practitioners now have to contend with the constant flow of interpretations and judgments, as well as determining how statutory amendments impact upon earlier case law.

A DIALES adjudicator is a practitioner, trained and experienced in adjudication, and a registered adjudicator with recognised adjudicator appointing bodies.

MEDIATORS

Mediation allows parties heading towards formal dispute resolution to maintain control of the decision that is reached. It also delivers dispute resolution that can often save a relationship.

With the short time span involved with the mediation process it is imperative that a suitably experienced mediator and mediation support team are selected. Within DIALES we have mediators that have gained their accreditation with globally recognised concerns such as Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR) and the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb).
