As a global leader in construction consulting, with a portfolio of some of the world’s largest and most prestigious projects in every major sector of the construction industry, Hill International offers commercial and technical expertise and support from initial project feasibility, through design, construction and contract closeout, including dispute avoidance and resolution, expert witness and litigation support services.

We believe that many construction claims can be avoided, mitigated or resolved using professional objectivity, integrity and exceptional forensic skills. Contractors, employers, solicitors, financiers and insurance companies all turn to Hill International to help them untangle some of the most complex issues that arise on some of the world’s largest projects.

At Hill we have the experience and the expertise to help our clients deliver their projects on time, within budget, and with the highest quality possible. Our history is defined by thousands of successful projects. Our future is defined by the success of your next project.

• At the outset of a project, to ensure the proper evaluation and payment of contractual entitlements through the currency of the project. This benefits contractors who then receive early payment of their claims.

• During the construction phase, when a claim situation arises, the involvement of Hill at an early stage will ensure proper records are kept and that there is an early claim submission and payment of monies.

• After completion of a project when, for example, a contractor has had difficulty in establishing an entitlement to a claim, or has not received proper payment. Hill will review the prepared claim and, if necessary, amend relevant issues and skillfully present the claim in a persuasive and professional manner.

In addition, Hill’s ‘Advanced Computer Animation’ is one of the many benefits we can bring to our claims and expert witness services. When presenting complex information to non-experts, valuable time can be lost explaining technical issues. Our 3D animations are quick and easy to understand, allowing time to be spent focusing on the facts to be presented.

Expert Witness Services

Hill’s team of experts has vast experience in every industry sector and discipline; with the technical skills to quickly get to the heart of even the most complex issues. Recognising the distinction between acting as Advisors and Expert Witnesses, the overriding duty being to the tribunal of fact and being highly trained in giving evidence, our Expert reports are well structured and clearly laid out.

Litigation Support

Hill are able to make a significant contribution to the development of a claim or defence, further information requests or replies and disclosure inspection.

Having the benefit of considerable real project expertise and a practical understanding of the dispute resolution process, we are able to focus on the issues that matter most, significantly assisting in case preparation and helping to bridge the technical/legal divide.

Hill’s dedicated IT and graphics resources can speed up analysis and investigation, helping otherwise complex issues be clearly understood. To help clients minimise the risk of running cases that do not stand up to close and detailed scrutiny, our input assists in a claim being better researched and structured, promoting a greater likelihood of settlement and ultimately reducing costs.

Lender Advisory Services

Our unique experience, combining technical expertise, project management experience and in depth knowledge of what can go wrong on a construction project, provides lenders and investors with unmatched service in protecting their financial interests.

Project Monitoring

Hill’s project monitoring services help clients to monitor projects and to track performance against time, cost, quality and safety standards. We can add real value to your project by suggesting measures to overcome any problems which may be revealed in terms of time, cost or quality.

Delay and Disruption Analysis

We are able to help employers, owners, contractors and the design team to both manage delay and apportion liability for cause and effect of delay and disruption retrospectively. Typically, we will undertake delay analyses during the construction process through a variety of methods as appropriate to the circumstances. We offer auditing services in regard to programme sequencing and can prepare advice on and assistance with the preparation of appropriate submissions to the contract administrator in response to the effects of change, and the calculation of the effects of disruption on the completion date. Our delay analyses have beenrequested by international clients to demonstrate the relationship between cause and effect in the presentation of claims for delay and disruption in various different forums.

Claims Preparation, Appraisal and DefenceHill has the experience and expertise to provide clients with best value solutions. We have a large, flexible staff resource which can be mobilised to work at a client’s office or site to prepare, appraise or defend claims for extensions of time, prolongation cost, disruption cost, acceleration cost or recovery of disputed variations. We employ highly qualified staff to analyse the contractual position, including engineers and quantity surveyors to analyse the technical and quantum position and planners to analyse the effect of delay and disruption upon progress. We provide clients with experienced andknowledgeable teams who combine the three crucial elements necessary for the proper analysis of claims technical, financial and time.
