What We Do
All reports by Masin follow international best practices (SCL, AACE) and are prepared with a level of rigor that stands up under scrutiny. Our core services include:
Forensic Delay Analysis
We investigate critical path delays using industry-accepted methods (CPM, TIA, Windows analysis) tailored to the project's stage and complexity.
Retrospective & Prospective Scheduling
We apply forward- and backward-looking scheduling tools to analyze delay impact across timelines, from planned to as-built conditions.
Disruption & Productivity Loss Analysis
Our team uses productivity-based models (Measured Mile, Earned Value) and cost impact assessments to quantify inefficiencies and lost outputs.

Concurrency & Apportionment Studies
We determine shared responsibility by identifying overlapping delays and distinguishing between excusable vs. non-excusable events.
Mitigation & Acceleration Review
We assess efforts taken to mitigate delays or accelerate works and evaluate their effectiveness in claim justification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to frequently asked questions about everything we do.
What are the most common legal risks in data center projects?
Data center projects often face legal risks related to complex contractual structures, misaligned liability chains, structural defects, and hyperscaler-driven tenancy clauses. These risks can lead to high-value disputes during both construction and operation phases.
Why do data center contracts often lead to disputes?
The intricate nature of data center projects involves multiple stakeholders—developers, contractors, tenants, and owner-operators. Poor alignment between tenancy agreements and construction contracts, vague specifications, and scope creep frequently result in claims and arbitration.
How can owner-operators protect themselves from construction-related disputes?
