Construction Management Services

Construction Claims Documentation

Construction claims documentation organizes the technical record so owners, contractors, and counsel can understand what changed, when it changed, and what the available engineering evidence supports.

Service overview

What this service involves

Calicore reviews plans, specifications, photographs, daily reports, RFIs, submittals, change orders, schedules, payment records, testing, and field conditions to reconstruct the technical history of a disputed issue. The work is organized around the question the project team needs answered.

Potential assignments include differing site conditions, pavement or utility distress, delayed work, quantity disputes, repair responsibility, and whether observed work matches the contract documents. Calicore provides technical engineering analysis and documentation, not legal advice or legal representation.

Step by step

How the process works

The exact scope is matched to the project, but a typical assignment follows these steps.

  1. 01

    Establish roles and controls

    We review the contract documents, schedule, participants, decision authority, reporting needs, and open risks at the start of the assignment.

  2. 02

    Track the work

    Meetings, submittals, RFIs, field observations, quantities, changes, schedule issues, and owner decisions are documented through the agreed process.

  3. 03

    Resolve issues

    Technical and contractual questions are routed to the responsible party early enough to limit avoidable cost and schedule effects.

  4. 04

    Close the project

    We coordinate punch-list work, record documents, testing, outstanding changes, final payment support, and the owner’s closeout records.

Frequently asked

Construction Claims Documentation questions

Do you provide legal opinions?+

No. Calicore provides engineering analysis, technical documentation, and expert support within the agreed scope. Legal strategy and legal opinions belong to counsel.

Can you review a project after construction is complete?+

Yes. Available records, photographs, testing, interviews, site condition, and the specific question determine how much can be reconstructed reliably.

Can you participate in deposition or testimony?+

Potentially, when the assignment requires expert engineering support and the scope, records, and engagement terms are established in advance.
