Solvix International provides expert witness testimony services for construction and engineering disputes where independent technical opinion is needed to explain programme, cost, valuation, causation, design, workmanship, or project-performance issues. We work with counsel, claim teams, funders, insurers, employers, contractors, and subcontractors to turn complex records into clear expert opinion that can withstand scrutiny in adjudication, arbitration, litigation, or other formal dispute forums.
Our role is not simply to restate a party position. We assess the record independently, apply a defensible methodology, identify assumptions and limitations openly, and present conclusions in a way that is understandable to decision-makers who may not be specialists in delay analysis, quantum, or construction engineering.
Although every dispute is different, expert evidence usually sits within one or more of three evidence streams: time, money, and technical causation. Solvix structures the engagement around the actual issues in dispute, the forum timetable, and the standard of analysis required for the report and any rebuttal stage.
This service can be delivered as proactive commercial governance on live projects, an independent review of a troubled cost position, or a targeted verification exercise linked to payment, change, funding, audit, or dispute concerns.
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.

Solvix works with the available evidence while identifying gaps and document risk early.
