Construction Adjudication Services

Construction Adjudication Services

At 53 Quantum, we are specialists in quantum, delay, and data analysis, with over 20 years of experience in construction dispute resolution. Our expertise spans adjudications involving complex contractual, scheduling, and cost-related issues. We support employers, contractors, and subcontractors across the construction industry by delivering strategic, evidence-based input that strengthens their position in adjudication. While we do not provide legal advice, we work closely with legal teams to ensure our technical analysis aligns with the overall legal strategy—helping clients navigate the adjudication process efficiently, effectively, and commercially.

Why choose our adjudication services?

When a dispute arises on a project, time is of the essence. Interruptions, cost overruns or cash-flow issues often demand a prompt, authoritative response. Adjudication offers a fast-track, binding decision in the short term which allows the project to keep moving.

The advantage of acting quickly

Any party to a qualifying construction contract has the statutory right to refer a dispute to adjudication at any time. Because the process is designed to resolve disputes rapidly—typically within 28 days—speed and precision can be decisive and delaying can weaken your position.

Why partner with us rather than go alone

Adjudication is not simply about putting forward a claim: it demands a focused, well-evidenced and timely presentation. Because our team lives and breathes construction data, we can quickly get up to speed and deliver quality input under pressure.

Our service covers every stage of adjudication support:

• Early review of contract terms, project records and the background facts to assess whether adjudication is appropriate and strategically sound.
• Preparation of the referral/ defence package: gathering and analysing schedule, delay and quantum data; preparing expert diagrams, reports and clear arguments to support your position.
• Liaison with your legal advisers: we ensure our technical input aligns with the legal strategy and deliverables.
• Timely management and presentation of evidence in support of your case, tailored to the strict timeline of adjudication.
