Delay.·Risk.·Contract.·Controlled.
Hart Project Advisory brings independent, rigorous analysis to the most challenging claims and disputes in the construction sector.
Led by Clive Hart, the practice delivers targeted advice to contractors, employers, and legal teams across the full dispute lifecycle — from early programme review and contractual risk identification through to expert determination and adjudication support.
With a background spanning major infrastructure and building projects, Hart Project Advisory combines forensic analytical capability with practical site experience, providing clients with credible, well-reasoned positions that stand up under scrutiny.
Every service is delivered with precision and a clear understanding of what is needed to protect or advance a client's position — whether in negotiation, adjudication, or litigation.
Rigorous forensic delay analysis using recognised methodologies — impacted as-planned, time impact analysis, collapsed as-built — to establish causation and quantum of delay. Preparation and review of EOT claims structured to satisfy contractual requirements and withstand challenge.
Timely and correctly worded notices are the foundation of any successful EOT or loss-and-expense claim. Hart Project Advisory assists clients in establishing robust notice procedures, drafting compliant notices, and auditing existing notice registers to ensure entitlement is preserved.
Advisory support throughout project delivery to ensure contractual obligations are met and rights are actively managed. Includes review of instructions, assessment of variations, change management protocols, and programme-update strategies aligned to contract requirements.
Expert support through adjudication, arbitration and litigation processes. Preparation of delay and disruption schedules, review of opposing expert reports, and assistance with referral documents and responses. Clear, evidenced positions communicated effectively under time pressure.
Hart Project Advisory operates as a specialist independent practice — focused exclusively on delay, contract, and dispute work. This concentration means deeper expertise, sharper analysis, and advice unencumbered by the commercial conflicts that can affect larger practices.
Every analysis is built on contemporaneous records, programme data, and contract documentation — producing positions that are evidenced, reasoned, and defensible under expert scrutiny.
Independent advice unconstrained by project relationships or firm-wide conflicts. Clients receive honest assessments of their position — including where risks exist — not just advice shaped to confirm expectations.
Grounded in real project delivery, not just claims theory. Understanding how programmes are built, resources are managed, and delays actually occur produces more credible and persuasive analysis.
Technical analysis translated into clear, actionable advice for clients, legal teams, and tribunals. Complex delay narratives presented in a way that is accessible without sacrificing precision.
Whether you are facing an impending adjudication, managing a complex EOT claim, or simply need a second opinion on your contractual position — Hart Project Advisory is available to discuss your requirements in confidence.
