HS&A has the reputation for being the company to turn to when an independent analysis is needed to resolve complex construction issues and disputes. We are experienced in providing services for claims assessment and resolution for attorneys, owners, design professionals, and contractors in both defendant and plaintiff cases.
Our clients have included the following types of organizations:
- County, State & Other Governmental Agencies

- General Contractors
- Subcontractors
We have a thorough understanding of construction contracts, contract administration, scheduling, cost estimating, and dispute resolution techniques.
Our construction claims services may be broken down into two categories:
- Claims Assessment
Our technical services provide our client with a decided advantage when facing a construction claim. We have the ability to assess and mitigate the impact of claims. For example, providing our client with a clear understanding of the claim, potential defenses against the claim, and possible counter-claim issues. We will also provide an analysis of the real costs of a claim to facilitate a fair and equitable settlement. - Claims Resolution
Our goal is to provide our client with claims responses that effectively address and/or rebut the claims. We also develop counter-claim positions, when applicable, to enable our client to achieve the best possible settlement terms.
When claims reach the arbitration or litigation state, we are able to provide assistance to our clients and their attorneys by delivering the technical services necessary to develop the most comprehensive and successful defense as well as the ability to communicate complex issues in a logical and easy to understand format that will be convincing to non-construction professionals. HS&A will help develop strategies to negotiate and resolve claims avoiding extensive and costly court proceedings.
When you choose HS&A's team of experts, we will provide an independent and professional opinion on the issues in an easy to understand format and to assist in directing the process toward a cost-effective resolution. Our services will provide you with the greatest opportunity for a successful outcome.
