Our position

Specialist, Not Generalist: Construction Delay Experts & Programme Assurance Specialists

FC International is a specialist construction delay, programme assurance, claims and expert witness practice, not a generalist construction consultancy. We work both before and after disputes arise: impartially testing construction programmes and critical-path risk, supporting extension of time and delay issues, and helping clients identify and address matters early enough to prevent or minimize disputes.

Where a matter becomes contested, our analysis is held to evidentiary standards. Our impartiality is structural, not rhetorical: findings follow the evidence regardless of who instructs us.

We will not construct or advance an opinion that the contemporaneous records and programme evidence do not support.

Every engagement is senior-led and senior-delivered.
