Resolving contractor claims to protect Dallas Fort Worth International Airport's bottom line

Large-scale airport construction programs inevitably generate contractor claims tied to schedule delays, changed conditions and disputed scope. DFW Airport needed an independent, technically rigorous way to evaluate whether these claims held up, so it could resolve disputes fairly without overpaying on claims that lacked merit or dragging out ones that did.

Settling claims accurately required more than a review of paperwork. It required a detailed understanding of construction schedules and the ability to reconstruct and analyze what actually drove delays or cost impacts on each project.

We provided claims resolution support to DFW Airport, drawing on our expertise in schedule analysis and schedule optimization. Our team analyzed the validity of construction contract claims brought by contractors, giving the airport a clear, defensible basis for resolving each dispute.

Our schedule analysis gave DFW Airport a reliable, technical basis for evaluating and settling contractor claims, helping protect the airport's capital program budget from unsubstantiated cost and schedule impacts.
