Cure Services
Defend the position. Recover the value.
When exposure has already crystallised – an LD claim, a stalled variation, a dispute heading toward arbitration – Cure services defend your position and recover the value the project has earned.
Four services. One objective: resolution.
Every Cure engagement begins with the same question: what is the strongest contractual position available, and what is the most efficient path to defending it? We do not escalate for the sake of it. We defend what is defensible, recover what is recoverable, and close what needs closing.
LD Defense
The LD notice does not have to be the final word.
When a liquidated damages claim lands, the instinct is to negotiate. The better response is to defend. We forensically reconstruct the project record, identify concurrent delays and compensable events, and build a structured response that reframes the dispute on contractual grounds.
Key Deliverables
- Forensic review of LD notices and supporting documentation
- Identification of concurrent delays and employer-caused events
- Reconstruction of the contemporaneous record from site data
- Structured response sequences issued within contract terms
- Settlement strategy and negotiation coordination
Mediation
Resolution without destruction.
Mediation is the fastest, lowest-cost path to resolution when direct negotiation stalls. CALIM prepares the commercial and technical case, manages the process, and positions your interests to achieve the best outcome without the cost and relationship damage of formal arbitration.
Key Deliverables
- Mediation case preparation and position statements
- Commercial and technical brief assembly
- Selection and coordination with qualified mediators
- Negotiation strategy and settlement range analysis
- Documentation of agreed terms and implementation plan
Delay Analysis
Time is money. We prove both.
Delay analysis is the foundation of any credible time extension or LD defence. Our analysts use recognised methodologies – time impact, as-planned vs. as-built, windows analysis – to identify the critical delays, assign responsibility, and quantify the programme impact in a format that stands up under scrutiny.
Key Deliverables
- As-planned vs. as-built programme comparisons
- Time impact analysis using industry-standard methodologies
- Critical path identification and float analysis
- Delay responsibility allocation and concurrent delay assessment
- Expert delay reports suitable for submission or tribunal use
Dispute Resolution
When negotiation ends, structured resolution begins.
When a dispute progresses beyond negotiation and mediation, CALIM leads the commercial and contractual defence through formal resolution. We coordinate with your appointed legal counsel, prepare expert witness testimony, and manage the technical case from filing to award.
Key Deliverables
- Dispute strategy and forum selection advisory
- Statement of claim / defence preparation
- Quantum analysis and financial impact assessment
- Expert witness coordination and testimony preparation
- End-to-end case management through ICC, DIAC, or QICCA proceedings
