In the construction industry, projects advance through structured processes founded on mutually-agreed-to contractual basis. In the current Project execution models, restricted budgets and timing for detailed design on technically complex projects often hinder the project team’s ability to clearly plan the Works and to prioritize the short and long-term objectives effectively. Despite the adoption of “intelligent” and “robust” construction management tools, there is limited improvement in the market KPIs and productivity, indicating poorly initiated projects leading to seemingly inevitable conflicts among stakeholders. Resolving these disputes is daunting and often entailing high costs. Over the past 40 years, Cogerec Consultants remained an industry leader in dispute resolution in the construction industry, having completed hundreds of assignments globally and saving tens of millions for their clients. Its proactive and collaborative project management and assistance services include planning, scheduling, project controls, KPI analysis, claims avoidance and independent expert reviews and reports in dispute resolution. Cogerec’s services are also often requested by both parties (clients and contractors) in order to act as the common expert to resolve differing positions concerning specific encountered issues during the performance of the project works. “With our background and history in the construction industry, we are extremely well positioned to assist contractors and clients in claims avoidance and collaborative dispute resolutions” says Michel El Saddi, the new president of Cogerec Consultants Ltd. With years of experience in project management, contracts management and dispute resolution, Saddi and his team are also proficient in providing litigation support and testifying in arbitration and legal proceedings.
