Contract administration
Notice calendars, obligation tracking and contemporaneous records — the work that avoids a dispute, or wins one that cannot be avoided.
ENGINEERING CLARITY AT EVERY STAGE.

Claims, disputes
Claims, disputes
and expert evidence.
Contract administration and records that keep entitlement alive, claim preparation or response for either party, delay and quantum assessment, and independent engineering expert reports.
Client promise
Explain the record: time, cost and cause.
Most construction disputes are won or lost in the record long before anyone reaches arbitration. Notices missed, progress unmeasured, variations priced after the fact — by the time the parties disagree, the evidence either exists or it does not.
Crown Circle works on both sides of that line: keeping the contractual record disciplined while the project runs, and reconstructing and analysing it when a claim is already on the table.
We act for either party, subject to a conflict check before any engagement. We do not take conflicting roles on the same dispute, and we do not price independent or neutral work against the outcome.
What the appointment covers
Where we are appointed
Scope, independence and any neutral appointment are confirmed in writing before work begins.
Claim preparation or response
Preparation, independent assessment and response, including extension-of-time and cost support, for either party and subject to conflict checks.
Delay & quantum
Assessment using a method suited to the contract and the evidence actually available. Recognised protocols guide the method; they do not guarantee an outcome.
Independent expert reports
Defect causation, technical evidence and support to the legal team, written to stand up to scrutiny rather than to flatter the instructing party.
Neutral appointments
Mediation, dispute-board or arbitral appointments only where we are eligible and independent. Legal representation stays with licensed counsel.
SCCA proceedings
Technical support in proceedings before the Saudi Center for Commercial Arbitration, where appointed and permitted.
How we keep it clean
Independence is
not negotiable.
No outcome-based or contingency fee is charged for independent or neutral roles. We do not act in two capacities on the same dispute, and a conflict check is run before any engagement is accepted — including against parties we have advised previously.
Please do not send confidential, privileged or dispute documents through the website or by WhatsApp. Tell us the project, the parties and the stage in outline only, and we will agree a secure route and a confidentiality position before anything is exchanged.
