ABOUT
Congruent Consulting was established in response to our extensive experience with claims, expert witness services, and litigation arising from construction disputes. We understand the significant impact disputes can have on project teams, staff morale, and overall company management within the construction industry.
We support our clients at every stage, from evaluating procurement strategies to reviewing and preparing project proposals. Our goal is to provide proactive advice and guidance to help avoid or mitigate risks and challenges. By prioritizing the effective management and resolution of issues before they escalate into formal disputes, we strive to protect our clients’ projects and resources. When disputes are unavoidable, we work closely with clients to minimize their scale and resolve them as efficiently as possible.
At Congruent Consulting, we see dispute avoidance as a key component of sustainability. We actively engage in discussions about sustainability within the Built Environment, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), achieving Net Zero, enhancing biodiversity, conducting whole-life carbon assessments, and advancing a circular economy in the construction sector.

SERVICES
Pre-Contract Negotiations
We offer comprehensive reviews of proposed contract conditions and provide dedicated support throughout the negotiation process. Our goal is to ensure our clients have a clear understanding of the terms being negotiated, enabling them to achieve a balanced allocation of risks, a tender price aligned with the risk profile, and improved project management processes and procedures.
Project Advisory
We provide expert support for projects, ideally following a thorough review of the contract during the pre-contract negotiation phase. Our services are available on short notice to advise project teams or company management on steps to prevent disputes or explore mutually beneficial changes with other parties to the contract.
Additionally, we can prepare detailed project notes for the site team and facilitate review sessions to highlight and clarify key processes outlined in the contract.
Knowledge Presentations
This approach has consistently proven to be a cost-effective method for preventing disputes. Our goal is to educate and equip your internal management and project teams, empowering them to make informed decisions and recognize when additional support or management input is required.
Our presentations are customizable to suit all levels within your organization, offering insights into best practices ranging from practical on-site solutions to the latest advancements in dispute resolution and sustainability.
Dispute Correspondence
Every project encounters moments where issues or relationships reach a critical juncture. These instances present an opportunity to pause, assess, and draft thorough, clear correspondence that not only addresses immediate needs but also establishes a robust narrative for potential future challenges.
Additionally, these moments can serve as a turning point to realign the project’s direction or to alert management to the actual on-site conditions, especially if they differ from internally reported positions.
Dispute
Management
When navigating formal dispute resolution processes or responding to the initiation of such proceedings against your company, we provide comprehensive support to evaluate your options. We assist in developing the most effective strategy for your business, including guidance on appointing and working with key professionals such as experts, solicitors, barristers, mediators, and adjudicators.
Mediation
We serve as mediators and support parties in preparing for mediation. This process offers flexibility, giving parties control over every aspect and providing an opportunity to limit or mitigate disputes—even if adjudication or litigation becomes necessary later. Mediation often leads to reduced costs, improved outcomes, and a greater likelihood of preserving or enhancing relationships compared to the more adversarial approaches of adjudication or litigation.
