Retainer-Based Advisory (Preferred Engagement)

Rather than project-based fees, we partner through annual or program-based retainers. This model ensures:

• Continuity of Expertise: Same senior advisor across multiple projects and phases
• Strategic Alignment: Deep understanding of your portfolio, risk appetite, and stakeholder dynamics
• Cost Predictability: Transparent, fixed-fee advisory eliminates billing surprises
• Independent Advice: Retainer positioning enables us to act as independent advisors to your leadership, legal teams, and arbitration centers

Embedded Support (On-Site Presence)

For capital-intensive projects, we embed our team directly into your project office—functioning as extensions of your commercial, controls, and legal functions. This model delivers real-time risk identification, continuous documentation excellence, and seamless escalation to your leadership.

Project-Based Engagements

For discrete assignments (claims analysis, EOT quantification, expert witness testimony), we engage on a project or phase basis—always maintaining the independence and rigor necessary for credible arbitration support.

Governance & Engagement Process

1. Strategic Alignment: Initial workshop to understand your portfolio, risk priorities, and governance requirements
2. Team Assignment: Dedicated PM Secure advisor assigned to ensure continuity and relationship depth
3. Regular Cadence: Scheduled reviews (monthly, quarterly) ensure alignment and early identification of emerging risks
4. Escalation Protocol: Clear pathways for escalating issues to your leadership, legal counsel, and board-level stakeholders
5. Evidence & Documentation: Continuous maintenance of project records, supporting documentation, and dispute-ready files

1. Founder-Led Expertise, Not Delegated Teams

Ahmed Wafik Nada, our founder and director, leads all major client engagements. With 25+ years in engineering, project management, and construction dispute resolution, he brings strategic judgment and decision authority that typical consulting firms delegate to junior teams. You engage a senior partner, not a coordinator.

2. Integrated Legal, Contractual & Arbitration Credibility

Most PMCs focus on cost and schedule. Most claims consultants are engineering-focused. We bridge both—combining project controls discipline with sophisticated contractual analysis, legal reasoning, and arbitration expertise. Our credentials (AClArb, CPCM, ADJD Expert Witness) reflect this integrated capability.

3. Retainer & Embedded as Core Model

Most consultancies offer retainer as an option. We position retainer and embedded support as our core delivery model—ensuring continuity, strategic alignment, and the independence necessary to serve as an advisor to your legal team, board, and arbitration center.

4. GCC Specialization, Not Global Generic

Unlike international megafirms operating across 50+ countries, we specialize in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the broader GCC. This depth enables us to navigate local procurement nuances, arbitration practices, court precedent, and stakeholder expectations with precision that generalist firms cannot match.

5. Evidence-Based, Forensic Approach

Claims are only as strong as their documentation. We adopt forensic rigor—CPM schedule analysis (Time Impact, Windows methodology), documented contemporaneous records, and quantified causation modeling—ensuring your positions are defensible in mediation, arbitration, or court.

6. Independent Advisor to Multiple Stakeholders

While other consultancies prioritize the paying client, our retainer model enables us to provide independent analysis to your leadership, your legal counsel, arbitration panels, and mediators—building credibility and facilitating amicable resolution.

For Government & Semi-Government Entities

You need an advisor who understands procurement law, contract governance, and stakeholder accountability—while maintaining independence to support mediation and arbitration. Our ADJD Expert Witness credentials and government sector experience position us uniquely to serve public sector entities.

For Contractors & Developers

You need proactive contract management that prevents claims from arising, and forensic rigor when claims are necessary. Our embedded advisory model ensures continuous risk identification and documentary excellence—transforming potential disputes into leverage for negotiation.

For Legal Firms & Arbitration Centers

You need independent technical experts, credible expert witnesses, and experienced arbitration support. Our AClArb membership, ADJD certification, and DIAC experience enable seamless integration with your dispute resolution practice.

For Oil & Gas Companies

You need advisors who understand EPC complexity, force majeure implications, consortium disputes, and international arbitration—while maintaining deep local GCC expertise. Our founder’s background in engineering and project governance delivers this rare combination.
