Favourable Adjudication Outcome for Project Owner

SJA , a leading provider of expert and advisory services to the construction industry, recently achieved a favourable construction industry security of payment adjudication decision for one of our project owner clients. This recent result underscores SJA 's commitment to delivering exceptional results in time sensitive pressurised settings.

The facts of the matter surrounded contractual disagreement between our project owner client and appointed head contractor regarding the design and construction of a purpose designed surf lifesaving centre and sea wall, with a project value of approximately $10 million. The source of disagreement between the parties related to matters of delay costs and valuation of variations.

Recognising the urgency and complexity of the situation, the project owner engaged SJA to collaborate with its’ legal experts to preparing a Quantum Expert Report as part of the project owner’s Adjudication Response as required under the relevant Security of Payment legislation. Under the guidance of SJA Quantum Expert James Dunphy , the SJA team meticulously assessed the delay costs and the mechanism for valuing variations to meet the requirements of the contract between the parties. The SJA Quantum Expert report as authored by James Dunphy was endorsed by the adjudicator and culminated in a resounding success for SJA ’s project owner client whereby the contractor’s claims were assessed to be without merit. This outcome not only vindicated the client's position but also highlighted the effectiveness of SJA 's strategic approach and meticulous attention to detail within a challenging environment created by the adjudication process and response timeframes.

This latest success further solidifies SJA 's reputation as a trusted partner in navigating complex legal challenges and achieving favourable outcomes. SJA remains steadfast in its mission to provide unparalleled expert services and uphold the interests of its clients with integrity and professionalism.
