About Emma Jayne Bennett

WHO DO I WORK WITH? Construction Claims Specialists and Commercial Directors/Managers. WHAT MAKES ME UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO ASSIST YOU? I have extensive knowledge of the Construction Industry, and I love delving through progress reports, emails, photographs and contract documents to find the supporting evidence you need to make your claim. RECENTLY COMPLETED PROJECTS? Below are brief details of 2 projects I have worked on, links to the full case studies are included. CASE STUDY NO. 5 Link below Client - Construction Dispute Specialist representing a national building contractor working on a new build prison. Background - A dispute had arisen following a post-contract failure of the Security System at a new build prison. The building contractor hired our client to pursue a claim against the security system sub-contractor following a serious onsite incident involving inmates. How I Helped - • I reviewed the Spec, Room Data Sheets, Drawings, Gap Analysis Reports produced by the Prison and System Test Reports and Surveys. • Compiled a Scott Schedule of Equipment required at tender stage on a room by room basis, highlighting shortfalls in the information provided at the outset. • Security System Drawing Take-Off, for each drawing revision, to highlight changes to the system, enabling changes to be traced back to the originator. • Checking, formatting and proofreading of documents. • My analysis identified a creeping increase in the number of cameras installed during the build, but the storage capacity didn’t increase. CASE STUDY NO. 7 Link below Client – International M&E Contractor, providing PPM to a National Supermarket chain. Background – Dispute due to non-payment. How I Helped – • Provided part-time support for 9 months • Created a Scott Schedule template to be used for each adjudication/claim • Populated 9 Scott Schedules, compared physical evidence against items listed in the schedules, checked that the evidence in the Schedules was relevant and contained evidence of the initial call-out, engineers’ report sheets, store references and invoices for materials, plant and sub-contractors • Corrected any discrepancies between the physical evidence and the Scott Schedules, advising the Client of any “gaps,” and updating the Scott Schedules and evidence files as needed • Collated evidence for each adjudication and supervised a team of 5 people to produce 6 copies of the final evidence files (approx. pages of evidence, filed in over 250 lever arch files with hand-written card dividers).
