Background
With 23 years of experience in the construction industry, Iain specialises in delay analysis and in the preparation and rebuttal of delay and disruption claims by applying forensic methodologies as per the Society of Construction Law protocol. Iain also specialises in the detailed planning of projects from tender stage to completion and in the drafting of contractual correspondence for delay issues.
This experience has been gained from working on a variety of major projects in the UK and across the Middle East, including airports, hospitals, universities, rail stations, bridges, hotels, and high-rise commercial and residential developments.
Iain has experience of the full international arbitration cycle in the UAE, having provided extensive support to the independent delay expert, law firm and counsel involved, through explanations of the complex background to the delays and disruption, and the programme records.
This concluded with Iain being put forward for cross examination as a factual witness for the claimant, where his witness statement evidence for the delays and disruption went unchallenged before the Tribunal.
Iain has also assisted delay experts in the preparation of delay reports for litigation and adjudication proceedings.
Iain is familiar with various planning software such as Primavera P6 & P3, Asta Powerproject and MS Project. He also possesses a sound knowledge of various forms of construction contracts such as FIDIC, NEC, JCT, and other bespoke forms.
