Legal
Legal / Commercial Teams
Legal and commercial teams need a project record that can be tested. The control problem is evidence: what the programme, cost, and correspondence actually show.
Decision priorities
What you need to know
- Contemporaneous records
- Delay evidence
- Quantum support
- Claim and rebuttal packs
Your decision context
What you have to decide
Counsel and commercial managers have to decide what the contemporaneous record will support. That means delay windows, disruption, entitlement narratives, and quantum that can be tied to the live files rather than to a later reconstruction.
The work is technical and commercial. It is written for the team that has to brief appointed counsel, not as a substitute for that counsel.
Typical pressures
Where control usually slips
- Delay narratives that cannot be tied to the approved programme logic
- Progress and correspondence files that were never kept as a contemporaneous set
- Extension-of-time windows that close before the analysis is instructed
- Quantum built from totals that the schedule and cost systems do not share
- Rebuttal work that has to be assembled after memories have already diverged
- Expert questions that need a planner’s file, not a legal memorandum
Project control
What you need from the control system
- Contemporaneous records schedule, cost, and correspondence that can be examined together
- Delay evidence windows, causation logic, and the critical path as it stood at the time
- Disruption analysis lost productivity framed from the project record
- EOT support technical packs an appointed counsel can use
- Quantum / prolongation cost consequences tied to the same events as the programme
- Claim and rebuttal packs material prepared for the commercial and legal team, not in place of them
