“Having worked closely with the JTE Claims Consultants Ltd. team on the FWLRT project, I am confident in their expertise, professionalism, and dedication to delivering high-quality commercial advisory services. They have demonstrated a profound understanding of the project's intricacies and unique challenges. Their involvement in the FWLRT improved operational efficiencies and collaboration with key stakeholders.”
“We found the team at JTE to be extremely knowledgeable in the areas of construction claims, dispute resolution and the commercial advisory. I strongly believe that Mr. Thapar and his team at JTE would be a great asset in assisting its clients on construction claims avoidance and prompt resolution.”
“....In my dealings with Mr. Thapar and the team at JTE, I have found them to be knowledgeable in the subject areas and helpful in running and leading an investigation into a defaulting contract. The team was particular on details and very reliable in meeting set deadlines.”
“We were impressed with the ability of JTE to take very complex topics and vast quantities of data, and create comprehensive claims package of our problematic three-year long contract. The report was logical, well laid out and written so that a person unrelated to the work could understand the issues on the contract.”
“From my experience with JTE the team understands the technical issues and client requirements and can get up to speed quickly on complicated issues. Jiwan communicates effectively with the client, he can review and synthesize voluminous materials and provide a thorough analysis. Most importantly, he is practical, he helps to resolve issues before they become big problems. As a construction lawyer, I can attest to the value which the team at JTE brings to its clients.”
“In my dealings with JTE Claims Consultants Ltd., I have come to rely upon their expert knowledge and understanding of commercial/contractual issues and their ability to provide sound advice and counsel in order to resolve complex construction claims. I have always found their approach to be fair, reasoned and measured, which are key to de-escalating highly charged claims issues.”
“In my dealings with JTE Claims Consultants, I found them to be both very knowledgeable and approachable. One unique feature about JTE was their accessibility; responses to our inquiries were received in a timely manner and when we needed the information. They are multi-subject matter experts, and I would have no reservation in recommending them to other clients and stakeholders.”
“We have been dealing with JTE Claims Consultants Ltd. on one of our most complex contracts. We are in contact on an almost weekly basis, Jiwan is prompt with a reply to any question and is extremely knowledgeable about all the details of our contract. He advises us on how and what to track to make successful claims for any contract disputes. JTE also prepares a monthly summary of potential claims / issues that we can review with our client. Their work will prove invaluable in remedying claims at the end of our contract.”

While claims generally arise from events that occur during the execution of a project, the real problem often has its roots in the pre-construction phases. At the onset of a project, we can help reduce the potential for claims in two ways. Firstly, we develop and/or review project management plans, project controls and contract administration policies and procedures, Secondly, we review and critique contract documents, proposals and bid packages to identify and eliminate potential inconsistencies, ambiguities, conflicts, errors and omissions.
Throughout the project lifecycle we focus on delivering the final project on time and within budget. We can identify problems as they arise, and provide timely solutions to mitigate the potential effect of increased expenses and schedule delays. We can partner with your team and provide additional expertise for progress monitoring and schedule support services. If you are a project owner, we can assist in schedule quality assurance Reviews and provide other commercial advisory services.

Since our inception in 2013, we have provided forensic engineering, management consulting and commercial advisory services for construction and infrastructure projects ranging from high rise condominiums to billion-dollar rapid transit systems and hydroelectric plants.
We are an agile boutique firm with extensive expertise in forensic engineering, construction claims management and dispute resolution. We have continually demonstrated our value to construction industry leaders through claim and dispute mitigation and prompt resolution, and by advocating best management practices to reduce the risk of construction claims and disputes.
Our client base covers the entire spectrum of the construction industry. We have served all levels of governments, private sector owners, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, architectural and engineering firms, law firms, and financial institutions.
WE ACT AS TRUSTED PARTNERS,SIMPLIFYING THE COMPLEX, AND DOING WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AT HAND.It varies from case to case. Some matters require both and, in those situations, we work closely with legal counsel toward the resolution of the claims and disputes. Claims consultants provide technical advisory and consulting to analyze the situation and prepare or rebut claim submissions, depending upon the client’s requirements and mandate. They can be instrumental in forensic schedule analysis, quantification and apportionment of monetary damages, as well as other areas related to dispute resolution. Claims consultants can also help in the negotiation process, which in some cases can preclude the need for arbitration and/or litigation.
Ideally, the goal should be to avoid claims and disputes altogether. When engaged at the outset of a project, JTE can help identify potential problems and resolve them at their source. But we can also help at the point at which a dispute arises.
Our fees depend on the size and complexity of the matter at hand, and any specific mandate or instructions from our client. In some instances, our fees may be claimed as part of the monetary damages incurred by one party due to actions or inactions by the others.
Construction claims and dispute resolution consulting is a highly specialized, challenging, and rewarding career. It requires an analytical mindset, excellent communication skills, and an aptitude for solving problems. Claims consultants come from various educational backgrounds such as engineering, management, business, and accounting.
