Dispute Resolution

Approved to resolve it. Ready to prove it.

Vanguard Resolve is approved for claims and dispute resolution work by public owners in three states. When a project is in dispute, we turn the record into a schedule and cost position that holds up in the room, before a board, or before a tribunal.

The ladder

Five ways to resolve a dispute. One record under all of them.

Choose a measure, then select a step to see what it is and where we help.

The cost of waiting

The longer a delay claim goes unprepared, the harder the record is to rebuild and the more it costs to defend.

A claim, reviewed line by line

Press play to see how a claimed amount shrinks to the part the record supports.

The ladder, curve and waterfall are illustrations of a typical pattern. They are not client results or published statistics.

Try it

Three tools. Zero sign-up.

Find a starting point, test the strength of your record, and see how delay events are sorted. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you tick or choose is sent anywhere.

Claim strength radar

Score your claim on six tests an owner, a board or a tribunal will apply. Drag the sliders. The radar and the settlement range respond.

Delay windows, sorted

Turn each kind of delay on or off to see how the days add up: owner-caused delay can earn time and money, concurrent delay usually earns time only, and contractor-caused delay earns no relief.

Illustrative example. The events and day counts are invented and are not client data. Relief rules depend on the contract and governing law.
