Resolution Focused International (Cost & Claim) Consultant (Pvt) Ltd is a firm of chartered quantity surveyors and construction claims specialists based in Pannipitiya, Sri Lanka, working principally in the United Arab Emirates, the Sultanate of Oman and Sri Lanka.
We prepare, evaluate and defend construction claims; we act for parties in adjudication and arbitration, and are appointed independently to determine disputes; and we provide the contract administration and quantity surveying on which both of those depend.
Senior attention, not delegated attention
The firm is small by choice. Engage a large consultancy and the partner wins the work; an analyst does it. Here the work is done by the principal who took your call — a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors with more than four decades in Gulf and South Asian construction, a Master’s in Construction Law and Arbitration, and experience on both sides of a dispute and in the middle of one.
That is the whole proposition. It is why clients come back, and it is the reason the firm exists.
Both sides of the table
We are engaged by contractors to build claims, by employers to test them, and by neither party to determine them. Very few practices do all three. Doing so is what keeps our advice realistic: it is difficult to overstate a case to a client when you spend part of your working life dismantling cases like it.
Where we act as an independent determiner we act for no one, and we do not advertise who prevailed.
Our mission
To ensure our clients’ goals are achieved by providing first-class cost and claim consultancy, and to ensure maximum value for money on their projects.
Our standards
We comply with RICS, CIArb, SCL and IQSSL standards wherever they apply, and maintain professional and ethical standards in every engagement. Palitha Gamage is personally a Fellow of the RICS; the firm itself is not an RICS-regulated practice.
