Final account

Final Account Dispute Consultant

Help getting a stuck final account moving and recovering the value built up across delivery. Most contractors quietly lose 25–35% at close-out as records go cold and dozens of items get negotiated in one undifferentiated bundle. A structured close-out and a quasi-legal submission change the outcome.

When to call us

  • A final account has been stalled for months
  • Dozens of open items are being negotiated all at once
  • Retention is not being released
  • Deductions and contra-charges are disputed
  • Evidence is weakening as project staff move on

What this covers

  • 01 Close-out programme and live close-out register
  • 02 Item-by-item closure strategy
  • 03 A structured final-account submission with contractual basis
  • 04 Retention release strategy
  • 05 Negotiation strategy with an internal strength ranking
  • 06 Escalation to DAAB / adjudication where needed

How we work

Founder-led: direct senior input, no junior hand-off. We do not provide legal advice — we lead the commercial, contractual-administration and quantum position alongside your legal advisers, and bring in specialist planners, delay analysts or quantum experts where a matter requires them.
