USA - Surety
Knowles's expertise provides valuable information to assist Sureties in evaluating their options at the bid stage, in default situations, with payment bond claims, and to advise them in the establishment of appropriate monetary reserve. We act on the Surety's behalf in situations of terminated contracts to both arrange for and monitor the completion of a project. We can provide all contract management activities including negotiations and termination procedures with the oblige and the re-letting the contract. We have proven practical approaches to the preparation of construction claims for Sureties, as well as the evaluation and cost-effective resolution of claims against the Surety by owners or subcontractors.
Our staff-engineers of all disciplines, accountants, schedulers, estimators, attorneys, and management professionals-are experts in all aspects of the construction process. This diversity is invaluable to our clients in recognizing and avoiding problems before they happen, and in resolving claims when they do. Our firm works closely with our client's legal counsel throughout the entire dispute resolution process. We offer a broad range of services from initial case analysis to expert witness and litigation support. Our track record of success demonstrates our knowledge of the Surety's role in the construction process and that we can effectively and efficiently resolve issues pertinent to the Surety.
