Well-Prepared Claims Start With Clear Entitlement and Strong Records

Construction claims often fail not because the issue lacks merit, but because the claim has not been properly structured, supported or presented. PCAG helps contractors, subcontractors and suppliers prepare claims that are clear, commercially sound and backed by evidence. We assist clients in understanding the contractual basis of the claim, organising the relevant records, quantifying the impact and presenting the claim in a way that is easier to assess, negotiate and defend.

Whether the issue relates to variations, delay, disruption, payment, prolongation costs or broader contractual entitlement, our role is to help clients put forward a stronger and more credible claim.

Our Claims Preparation Services

Variation Claims

We assist with identifying scope change, establishing contractual entitlement and preparing variation claims supported by records, pricing and correspondence.

Extension of Time Claims

We help prepare EOT claims by analysing delay events, reviewing project records and presenting the contractual basis for time-related entitlement.

Delay and Disruption Claims

We support the preparation of claims arising from delay, disruption, out-of-sequence work, access issues, resequencing and lost productivity.

Payment and Commercial Claims

We assist with preparing payment-related claims, outstanding entitlement claims and supporting material for withheld or disputed amounts.

Claim Structuring and Evidence Packs

We help clients organise records, build chronologies, identify key events and assemble the documents needed to support a clear claim narrative.

Claim Review and Improvement

Where a draft claim already exists, we can review, refine and strengthen the submission before it is issued.

Why Clients Engage PCAG for Claims Preparation

PCAG provides practical claims preparation support grounded in construction delivery, contract administration and dispute advisory experience.

We understand that successful claims need more than technical language. They need a clear entitlement pathway, a credible factual narrative, good records and a presentation style that makes the claim easier to assess and harder to dismiss.
