Construction Risk, Claims & Dispute Advisory

Clarity when construction risk becomes financial risk.

GCM Group provides independent construction analysis for legal teams, sureties, lenders, and insurers facing complex disputes, contractor default, and distressed construction projects.

With over 20 years of construction experience—from field operations through executive leadership and global cost management—we combine practical judgment with rigorous cost, schedule, and document analysis. The result is clear, defensible information that helps institutional stakeholders make decisions, protect capital, and move matters toward resolution.

Expert Witness & Litigation Support

Forensic schedule and delay analysis, change-order and entitlement evaluation, cost and damages quantification, construction-management standard-of-care analysis, expert reports, rebuttals, and support through mediation, arbitration, deposition, and trial.

Surety Claims & Contractor Default

Independent support for claim evaluation, contractor-default response, completion strategy, exposure assessment, and the analysis of cost, schedule, scope, and project records. Engagements can begin with a focused Surety Rapid Project Assessment.

Lender Construction Risk & Workout

Construction-focused advisory for distressed, underperforming, or disputed projects, including cost-to-complete review, schedule and change-order analysis, budget assessment, and decision support for workouts and recovery strategies. Engagements can begin with a targeted Lender Distressed Project Assessment.

Specialized Technical Support

Cost estimating, cost-to-complete analysis, schedule analysis, claims evaluation, and damages quantification are core GCM capabilities. When an engagement requires architectural, engineering, code, structural, or another specialized discipline, qualified professionals can be brought into the team. GCM Group does not provide architecture or engineering design services.

Independent Analysis. Defensible Decisions.

We organize complex project information, identify the issues that matter, and translate technical records into a practical path forward—whether the objective is dispute resolution, project recovery, financial risk management, or litigation.
