Full profile

Expert evidence in Saudi disputes

Most large construction disputes in the Kingdom are resolved by arbitration under the Saudi Arbitration Law, often at the Saudi Center for Commercial Arbitration (SCCA), or in the commercial courts. Government contract disputes follow their own route. In each, delay evidence must be independent, reproducible and tied to the contract’s own procedure.

How we can help

  • Party-appointed delay expert: independent report, joint statement and hearing evidence
  • Shadow expert to the legal team before or alongside the testifying expert
  • Review of the opposing expert report: method, programme, records and calculations
  • Delay sections of the statement of claim or defence
  • Support to court-appointed experts with analysis and technical memoranda

Independence

Our duty as experts is to the tribunal. We tell you early if the records do not support the position, so the case can be adjusted before positions harden. Method follows the SCL Delay and Disruption Protocol and AACE practice, and we explain any departure from them.

Your first conversation

What we cover

A free 30-minute call. We look at the forum and timetable, the contract, the claims in issue, the state of the programme records, and whether experts have already been appointed.

What to share first

A short description and your next deadline are enough. If you like, name the forum (SCCA, another institution or court) and the next procedural deadline. You do not need to send contract documents before the call.

Scope and fee

After the call we agree which documents we need. Once we have reviewed them, we confirm the scope and fee in writing before any work starts.

Send a short brief

No meeting needed. Give us your work email and two sentences about the issue. Please do not attach contract documents at this stage.






    Ahmed Elsayed replies within 1 working day (Sunday to Thursday, Riyadh time). Your brief goes only to the Solvix sales inbox. If we go on to work together, we sign an NDA and then send you a private shared folder for the contract documents.

    Conflicts and confidentiality

    We check for conflicts before reviewing any documents and keep all material under NDA. A first call is enough to tell you whether the records support a delay case.

    Earlier stages

    Disputes usually start as a claim. See EOT claims in Riyadh and delay analysis in Saudi Arabia.
