TECHNICAL & LEGAL
HEC helps lawyers by explaining the technical stuff in a case and telling everyone what they need to do. We support during questioning, look at written records, help in the trial, and provide expert opinions. We also create detailed reports for lawyers. If there's damage to a building because of structural problems, HEC not only figures out how much damage there is but also gives plans to fix it and estimates how much it will cost to do the construction work.

Our project teams are tailored to client needs, ensuring effective communication of technical issues to judges and juries. With a focus on competent science and engineering, we aid both plaintiffs and defendants, providing objective and technical assessments for case understanding and resolution. HEC expertise extends to arbitration services under the Arbitration Act in Pakistan. Our associates assist clients in navigating the litigation process and offer expert witness testimony services in District, High Courts, and Supreme Courts.
Construction projects, substantial financial commitments, and intricate contracts, encompassing pricing agreements like BOQ’s Item-wise cost, Lump Sum, Fixed and Unit Price, Time and Materials, Cost Plus, are among the complexities HEC navigates. In case of engineering or construction claims, HEC provides ongoing support, evaluating entitlement and quantifying damages. Through thorough analysis of contract documents and project performance, we pinpoint causes of impact, assess their effects, and quantify associated damages. Our construction audit services further aid clients in identifying potential overpayments, overcharges, and failures to recoup reimbursable expenses due to contract intricacies. We ensure that construction costs align with agreements and industry practices, facilitating appropriate billing and payment processes between contractors and owners.
