The-Neutrals

Construction, Engineering & Infrastructure Disputes & Prevention

Independent Neutrals for High-Value Projects.

Construction and infrastructure projects carry immense financial, technical, and reputational stakes. Delays, cost overruns, design defects, and contractual breakdowns can derail billion-dollar projects and damage stakeholder trust. Disputes in this sector demand speed, credibility, and deep expertise.

At THE NEUTRALS, our Construction & Infrastructure Panel includes engineers, architects, project managers, mediators, and arbitrators with hands-on industry knowledge. They bring independence, impartiality, and international standards to prevent and resolve disputes at every stage of the project lifecycle.

The Project Journey with Neutrals

  • Contract Evaluation → risk assessment in drafting, negotiation, and project planning.
  • Mediation → resolving conflicts between contractors, developers, suppliers, and governments.
  • Arbitration → enforceable outcomes for complex domestic and cross-border disputes.
  • Expert Determination → technical disagreements over defects, valuations, or performance.
  • Standing Neutrals → real-time oversight to prevent disputes before they delay projects.
  • Dispute Boards → structured prevention for long-term PPPs and megaprojects.
  • Specialized Construction Panel → neutrals with combined legal, technical, and project management expertise.
  • Global Reach → trusted in cross-border PPPs, FIDIC contracts, and international infrastructure projects.
  • Prevention-First → proactive neutral involvement reduces delays, overruns, and litigation risks.
  • Efficient & Confidential → tailored processes that keep projects on schedule.

What Makes This Different?

The Neutrals Advantage in Construction

Large-scale projects like tunnels, bridges, highways, airports, and energy facilities often run for years, with multiple contractors and high-value contracts. Our prevention-first approach includes:

  • Dispute Boards + Standing Neutrals → keeping the project on track while issues are resolved in real-time.

  • Fast-Track Arbitration & Mediation → preventing disputes from turning into costly litigation.

  • Integrated Expertise → legal, financial, and technical specialists for every stage of the project.

Example Matters We Handle

  • Delay and cost overrun disputes.

  • Defective design or construction conflicts.

  • Public–private partnership (PPP) disagreements.

  • Contractor–subcontractor performance disputes.

  • Joint venture or consortium conflicts.

  • Contract termination and performance issues.
