Expert & Dispute Support

Commercial Document Support

Document-based back-office Quantity Surveying Support for MENA construction project teams. RFQS does not act as the expert witness or dispute decision-maker.

RFQS Expert & Dispute Support helps organize commercial records, extract cost-related issues, prepare schedules, and structure review material. This sub-service covers the document-handling and commercial-organization side of expert and dispute work — it does not provide expert opinion or dispute determination.

Typical Support

  • Commercial record mapping and chronology support
  • BOQ, payment, and variation record organization
  • Cost-event and issue extraction into draft registers
  • Exhibit and appendix preparation support

Engagement Basis

Quoted privately after document and scope review. RFQS does not start work before a written fixed-scope proposal and payment.

Expert & Dispute Support Boundary

RFQS Expert & Dispute Support provides back-office commercial document support for dispute, quantum, forensic, and expert-review teams. RFQS does not act as the expert witness, legal advisor, arbitrator, adjudicator, delay expert, engineering expert, or dispute decision-maker.

FIDIC POSTURE

Factual reference layer

Where the project is governed by a FIDIC contract, RFQS makes factual reference to relevant claim and dispute provisions — for example sub-clauses 20.1/20.2 (Notice of Claims), 3.5/3.7 (Engineer’s Determinations), and 21 (Dispute Avoidance/Adjudication Board) under FIDIC 2017 forms. RFQS organises commercial records for the appointed expert or dispute team. RFQS does not act as the expert witness, dispute decision-maker, or contractual interpreter.
