Our Services
Masin provides a full range of quantum and damages expert services, covering every major category of financial dispute in construction and engineering projects.
Prolongation & Delay Costs
We quantify additional costs arising from project delays including:
- Extended site overheads and preliminaries
- Prolonged use of labour and equipment
- Financing and indirect costs
Our analysis aligns with recognised methodologies such as the SCL Protocol, ensuring transparency and consistency in how prolongation costs are calculated.
Disruption & Loss of Productivity
Disruption claims are often complex and heavily disputed. We help in the assessment of how changes to planned working conditions affect productivity and cost.
Our approach includes:
- Measured Mile analysis
- Productivity benchmarking
- Data-driven evaluation of labour and plant efficiency
We translate technical disruption into clear financial impact supported by real project data.
Variations & Change Order Valuation
We independently assess the value of variations that includes:
- Scope changes
- Pricing disputes
- Dayworks and remeasurement
Our experts work across all major contract forms, including FIDIC, NEC, and JCT, safeguarding the alignment of valuation with contractual entitlement.
Termination & Loss of Profits
Termination claims often involve the highest financial exposure. We quantify:
- Loss of anticipated profits
- Wasted expenditure
- Demobilisation and close-out costs
We integrate quantum analysis and economic damage valuation to support business valuation for construction dispute and provide a complete financial assessment.
Cost Overrun & Project Audit
We go for a thorough analysis of the project costs to identify:
- Overruns and inefficiencies
- Misallocated or unsupported costs
- Disputed cost build-ups
Our work often includes forensic accounting support for quantum investigations, providing clarity on how costs were incurred and whether they are recoverable.
Global & Total Cost Claims
When it is difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of a claim, we assess global claims and total cost approaches. Each claim is carefully evaluated for validity and compliance with legal standards.
We apply recognised industry methods so that financial assessment is accurate. Our experts review all supporting documentation and project data to provide clear and independent opinions. This approach allows clients and tribunals to understand the full scope of costs, even in complex situations where individual causes cannot be easily separated.
Infrastructure & Mega-Project Quantum
Large-scale infrastructure projects require a different level of expertise. Masin supports disputes across:
- Energy and power
- Transport and infrastructure
- Major civil engineering works
Our multidisciplinary teams blend engineering, commercial, and financial expertise to solve complex and high-value claims.
Expert Determination & Neutral Appointments
In addition to party-appointed roles, Masin experts act as:
- Single joint experts
- Tribunal-appointed quantum experts
- Neutral expert determiners
We provide independent advice that assists tribunals in reaching balanced and well-informed decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to frequently asked questions about everything we do.
What is a Quantum Expert Witness?
In the context of construction disputes, quantum is all about finding out the money side of a claim – basically how much money you owe someone, while liability is about who is at fault.
A quantum expert witness gives an independent and unbiased opinion on the value of these claims. Their advice and reports are used in court, arbitration, or other dispute processes to make sure that the financial details are clear, accurate, and easy to understand.
What is the difference between a quantum expert witness and a claims consultant?
A claims consultant assists a party build and present their case, supporting strategy and documentation. A quantum experts, on the other hand, provides an independent opinion on the financial value of claims.
What does a quantum expert analyse in a construction dispute?
A quantum expert looks at the financial side of a dispute. They assess costs related to delays, disruption, variations, terminations, and other claim events. They quantify the financial impact and produce valuations on which the decision-makers can rely.
What is the SCL Protocol and why does it matter in quantum analysis?
The SCL Protocol is an internationally recognised guideline for analysing delay and disruption in construction projects. It provides a consistent framework for evaluating claims. It ensures transparency in assumptions and calculations used by experts.
What qualifications should an expert hold?
The qualifications of a quantum expert include – a background in quantity surveying, cost engineering, or forensic accounting. Additional professional credentials such as FRICS or MCIArb are common.
What is the difference between delay analysis and quantum analysis?
Delay analysis focuses on the timing of events, such as how and when project delays occur.
Quantum analysis turns these events into financial terms – calculating costs related to delays, disruption, variations, or termination. Together, they help understand both the timing and monetary impact of disputes.
Which arbitration forums does Masin's quantum team have experience in?
Masin’s experts support arbitration, litigation, adjudication, and other alternative dispute resolution processes. Their experience spans both domestic and international forums.
How long does a quantum report typically take to prepare?
Most reports are completed in a few weeks to a couple of months. A more technical projects may take longer to make sure every calculation.
