The project lacked a contract programme or key dates, had very few contractual notifications issued, limited and conflicting meeting minutes – and therefore differing accounts of the delay periods experienced.
It also faced a complete re-design, re-sequence, and re-price, requiring agreement.
This project provided the perfect opportunity to deploy Laminar’s “Engine Room”, our integrated approach to planning and commercial management delivered by a multi-disciplinary team.

Our methodological approach, transparent workings, and substantiation using site records, left the end client with no option but to agree to a Final Account that represented a 259% increase versus contract value, inclusive of a 1-year Extension of Time (EOT). This generated a very profitable outcome for our client; a remarkable feat considering the starting point.
This unique approach to consulting saved time and money, therefore having enormous potential for any future clients willing to adopt this out-of-the-box delivery method (enabled by our multi-disciplined professionals).
Laminar’s input was crucial. The final account status improved tremendously, beyond expectation.
