Quantum & Damage Analysis
Quantifying Cost. Supporting Claims. Strengthening Outcomes.
At MASIN, we provide detailed quantum and damage analysis services that form the financial backbone of engineering and construction disputes. Our experts help quantify disruption, evaluate variation claims, and assess financial loss with accuracy and clarity — from pre-dispute advisory to tribunal-tested reports. Whether you’re facing cost escalation, contractor underperformance, or loss-of-profit disputes, we break down every figure and provide data-backed insight that strengthens your position.

Why Quantum Analysis Matters
Disputes are rarely just technical — they’re financial. MASIN’s team combines cost engineering, quantity surveying, and forensic accounting to ensure clients have accurate, defensible valuations of their claims.
From prolongation and disruption to final accounts and terminations, we help stakeholders recover what’s due — or defend against inflated cost claims — with clarity, compliance, and confidence.

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:
Cost Overrun & Final Account Analysis
We assess actual costs versus budgets to determine overruns, reconcile final accounts, and identify payment entitlements.
Prolongation & Disruption Claims
We evaluate time-related financial impacts caused by delays, resource inefficiencies, and project extensions.
Change Orders & Variation Valuation
Our experts assess costs for approved, pending, or disputed changes — ensuring nothing is missed and nothing is duplicated.

Termination & Loss-of-Profit Assessment
We calculate damages resulting from descoping, partial or full termination, and unrealized profit.
Defect & Liability Cost Evaluation
We quantify the employer’s loss due to contractor errors, poor design, or failure to deliver contractual outputs.
Forensic Cost & Claims Accounting
From auditing incurred costs to estimating cost-to-complete, we deliver transparent financial reporting aligned with contract obligations.
