DUE DILIGENCE AND RISK ASSESSMENT

We provide a full assessment of the technical and contractual documentation of a project in order to:

  • Define and evaluate the contractual and legal risks of the project.
  • Establish strategies and actions that eliminate, mitigate or transfer risks.
  • Seek opportunities to optimise the project.

PROACTIVE CONTRACT MANAGEMENT SERVICES

CONMAAT assists clients to manage their contract during the execution of the works with three main goals:

  • Reduce the cost of the project.
  • Improve cash-flow.
  • Avoid liquidated damages.

We achieve these three goals by applying firmly the following five-step method:

  1. Verify that the executed works are strictly contained among the boundaries of the scope of works defined by the contract and legal requirements. And notify in the case that there is any modification of the scope of works or unforeseen event.
  2. In the case that a dispute or claim arise, produce the required documentation in order to crystalize the dispute.
  3. Establish and document the causal link between the issue/event and its consequences.
  4. Evaluated, record and document the impact in cost and time of the issue/event giving rise to the dispute or claim.
