As a government construction prime contractor (not to mention while employed by other general contractors earlier in my career and as a construction engineer / claims consultant), I've had extensive experience calculating recoverable costs in construction claim issues. As your construction claim progresses, I will determine your real cost of delays and schedule disruptions the result of the contract scope changes. Because of the complexity of any government construction contract, you must consider everything from:
- equipment rental
- employee salaries
- insurance premiums
- materials storage.
This is not to forget more subtle, but very real, damages to the unchanged work as a result of the impact of the changed work! There's also interest on borrowed funds (where allowable), to name just a few considerations. Finally, you must include not only the costs you've already incurred, but accurately anticipate (forward price) those costs that are inevitable in the future as a consequence of changes to the original bid. I'll ensure that you're covered for all.
