Solvix International provides quantum analysis services for employers, contractors, subcontractors, developers, funders, project managers, commercial teams, and legal advisers who need a robust financial assessment of a construction or engineering claim. Our work focuses on translating project events, records, and contractual positions into a clear commercial valuation so decision-makers understand what is recoverable, what is overstated, and what evidence is required to support or challenge the claim.
Quantum analysis is not limited to one type of claim. Depending on the project circumstances, we assess direct cost, time-related cost, indirect cost, overhead recovery, and associated commercial consequences arising from instructed change, delay, disruption, inefficiency, suspension, acceleration, termination, or remedial works.
In many construction disputes, the challenge is not simply the absence of data but the absence of structure. Critical information is spread across correspondence, schedules, notices, progress updates, payment records, meeting minutes, instructions, and technical documents. Solvix helps turn that fragmented material into a disciplined narrative and evidence base that legal teams can work with effectively.
The strength of a quantum opinion depends on method, evidence, and consistency. Our approach is designed to test what the contract permits, what the records actually show, and how the valuation should be presented so it can withstand commercial scrutiny.
We begin by defining the claim heads, relevant contract mechanisms, the period or work packages affected, and the precise question to be answered. This prevents the analysis from drifting into a broad cost review when the real issue may be a focused entitlement and valuation dispute.
We review contemporaneous records to understand whether claimed cost consequences can genuinely be linked to the events alleged. This includes instructions, notices, schedules, progress records, procurement data, time sheets, payroll, plant logs, subcontract accounts, invoices, ledgers, and payment records.
We select a calculation basis suited to the evidence and contract context. Depending on the issue, this may involve direct cost build-up, measured or actual cost review, rate analysis, allocation testing, time-related cost modelling, or comparison against budgets, tenders, or unaffected performance.
We test reasonableness, avoid duplication, challenge unsupported uplifts, and reconcile the figures across source documents. Particular attention is given to mitigation, overlap between claim heads, entitlement assumptions, and whether the claim seeks recovery of items that are already absorbed elsewhere.
The final step is to present the quantum position in a way that is technically sound and commercially useful. We prepare reports, schedules of quantum, explanatory narratives, sensitivity testing, and rebuttal points that can be used in submissions, assessments, negotiation, ADR, arbitration, or litigation support.
| Commercial and Contract Records | Contract conditions, amendments, BOQs, rates, variation quotations, correspondence, notices, payment certificates, cost reports, applications, and assessments. |
| Project Execution Records | Baseline and update programmes, progress reports, site diaries, instructions, RFIs, design releases, method statements, productivity records, daily allocation sheets, and meeting minutes. |
| Cost Support Records | General ledger extracts, cost codes, invoices, payroll, plant logs, hire records, material purchase orders, delivery notes, subcontract accounts, and internal allocation schedules. |
| Claim and Dispute Records | Claim submissions, rebuttals, expert materials, settlement positions, adjudication or arbitration pleadings, and any prior determinations that shape the valuation framework. |
Quantum analysis is most valuable when a project team needs clarity before positions harden, but it is equally effective when a dispute is already underway and the cost case must be tested rigorously.
Quantum analysis is the financial and commercial assessment of the sums said to arise from project events. It addresses how much is being claimed, how that figure is derived, whether the valuation is supportable, and whether the claimed items are properly linked to entitlement and causation.
Delay analysis focuses on time and programme effect, such as impact on completion, milestones, and the critical path. Quantum analysis focuses on cost and damages, such as prolongation, loss and expense, disruption cost, change valuation, overhead recovery, and related commercial consequences. The two disciplines often need to work together.
Yes. Part of our role is to assess whether the available evidence is sufficient for a reliable valuation and to identify what additional support would materially improve the position. Where records are limited, we make the evidential gaps visible so the client understands the strength and limits of the claim or defence.
Yes. We support affirmative claim preparation as well as claim defence and evaluation. The underlying discipline is the same: identify the facts, test recoverability, challenge unsupported assumptions, and present a balanced valuation that can withstand scrutiny.
Yes. Quantum analysis can feed directly into negotiation, mediation, adjudication, arbitration, and litigation support. Where required, the work can also be aligned with wider dispute strategy and independent expert processes.
