Loss of Productivity can be one of the most challenging damages to credibly establish in a construction claims matter. Its foundation relies on the assertion that the work could have been performed at a better level of production, absent the claimed impacts and/or delays.

Our independent and objective approach has been successful in preparing Loss of Productivity claims, as well as defending against them. Our experts work with clients and their attorneys to quantify and calculate the damages, allowing them to confidently make critical decisions to prevent or mitigate losses.
