Per-MW pricing, regional variance, and cost drivers for owners scoping hyperscale & AI builds.
Salary benchmarks across the 14 mission-critical disciplines.
Hire Claims Managers who can build — and defend against — construction claims: entitlement analysis, forensic delay work, quantum, and negotiation that resolves disputes before they reach arbitration. Delay analysis rigor + settlement track record verified with references.
A structured process for the claims hire — where entitlement discipline and credible delay analysis decide whether disputes settle at cost or at multiples of it.
30-minute call. Align on claims posture (asserting, defending, or both), active dispute load, contract forms, counsel relationships, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Claims Managers with sector-matched dispute history. References from commercial directors and outside counsel included.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee.
Every Claims Manager has verified resolution history — negotiated settlements, mediation results, arbitration support — not just claims files they inherited.
Reference-verified delay methods — time impact analysis, windows analysis, as-planned vs as-built — that held up against opposing experts.
The best claims managers reduce claims. We verify notice-discipline and record-keeping programs they built that kept issues out of formal dispute.
Reference-verified contractual entitlement work across GMP, lump sum, cost-plus, and EPC forms.
Reference-verified TIA, windows, and as-planned vs as-built analysis in P6 — aligned to AACE forensic practice.
Reference-verified damages calculation — extended overhead, acceleration, disruption, loss of productivity.
Reference-verified settlement outcomes through negotiation, mediation, and arbitration or litigation support.
Reference-verified work with outside counsel and testifying experts — discovery support, expert report input.
Reference-verified documentation and notice programs that preserved entitlement before disputes formalized.
We’ll help scope the role on the call — dispute load, contract forms, counsel model, sector.
Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks. Total time to placement is typically 3–4 weeks. If you have an active dispute with filing deadlines, tell us — we can prioritize candidates available on shorter notice.
In most US markets, base salaries run $130k–$175k. Candidates with credible forensic delay expertise and arbitration experience on mega-projects push $180k–$200k+. Consulting-background candidates (construction claims practices) often command the top of the range.
A Contracts Manager structures and negotiates agreements before and during the work. A Claims Manager handles what happens when performance and entitlement diverge — analysis, quantum, and resolution. On smaller commercial teams, one senior hire may cover both; we scope that on the call.
Three main paths: project controls (scheduling into forensic delay), commercial/quantity surveying (quantum-led, often RICS/MRICS), and claims consulting. AACE certifications (PSP, CFCC) and P6 forensic fluency are strong signals. We verify actual dispute outcomes with references either way.
Yes. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee.
Yes. A claims lead plus contract admins and commercial managers routes through embedded recruiting or RPO. Senior single hires run through executive search.
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll review the Claims Manager role, dispute load, contract forms, and counsel model — then start sourcing.
