A freelance claims manager for construction and infrastructure identifies, evaluates, and documents claims for additional payments arising from construction delays, disruptions, design changes, and deviations from the scope of work. They prepare robust claim documentation, chronologies of disruptions, and supplementary cost estimates that stand up in arbitration, court, or negotiations. For both clients and contractors, this role is crucial for limiting financial losses from unresolved claims and consistently safeguarding contractual rights.
Companies typically turn to our profiles when major projects fall behind schedule, change orders escalate, or arbitration proceedings loom. An urgent need also arises when handing over ongoing projects with an unsecured claim history or when establishing a structured claims management system for a project portfolio. The sooner an experienced claims manager is brought in, the greater the scope for an out-of-court settlement.

Our experts understand the typical areas of conflict in large-scale projects: deadlines, interfaces, change orders, and evidence. They translate contractual logic into actionable project measures and robust positions. This leads to decisions based on data, not gut feelings.
These profiles provide you with a clear claims architecture: registers, deadlines, documents, chains of causality, and quantification. This reduces friction between construction management, project management, procurement, and legal. At the same time, your negotiating power increases thanks to consistent figures and defined assumptions.
When it comes to dispute resolution, our profiles provide the necessary substance: verifiable evidence, scenarios, and clear timelines. They coordinate inputs from scheduling, cost estimation, and construction site documentation. This ensures you are significantly better prepared for mediation, adjudication, or arbitration proceedings.
Assignments for Freelance Construction Claims Manager usually come up in projects around Project Management Consulting. That page explains what the field covers, when external support makes sense and which roles belong to it. Adjacent field: Agile Transformation.
We assess the exact project context: the contractual basis (VOB/B, FIDIC, NEC), the current status of the claim, disputed items, and the timeframe for negotiations or proceedings. This allows us to determine whether you need a claim developer, a negotiator, or a dispute specialist—and to search for the right candidate accordingly.
Based on your requirements, we match your project with our vetted profiles—taking into account the contract terms, project type, subject-matter expertise, and availability. Within 24–36 hours, you’ll receive a curated selection of suitable profiles with specific project references.
What matters to us isn't whether a profile formally meets all the criteria—but whether it effectively meets your project's requirements and actually mitigates risks. That's why we support the implementation and are always available to answer any questions you may have about our collaboration.

Claims Manager for Construction and Infrastructure, specializing in schedule claims and delay analyses for large-scale projects. Areas of expertise: baseline/update logic, window analysis, critical path, and linking schedule impacts to cost items for settlement negotiations and litigation.
You’ll receive an initial, curated selection of our profiles within 24–36 hours. To do this, we match the project scope, contract model, claim status, and stakeholder structure with the available profiles. We then coordinate interviews on short notice and arrange the earliest possible start date.
A Construction and Infrastructure Claims Manager identifies, structures, and transforms claims arising from construction contracts into enforceable positions. They integrate the construction process, correspondence, supporting documentation, and cost logic into a consistent chain of reasoning. The goal is to provide sound justification for change orders, schedule extensions, and cost overruns and to prepare them for negotiation.
The need typically arises in cases of schedule delays, numerous change orders, disrupted construction processes, or escalating negotiations over change orders. Warning signs include an incomplete register of change orders, failure to meet deadlines, conflicting figures, and inadequate documentation. With these profiles, you can quickly establish structure, maintain a chain of evidence, and create a clear basis for decision-making.
Key requirements include contract expertise (e.g., VOB/B, FIDIC, NEC), claim methodology (chronology, cause-effect chain), and the ability to quantify time and cost impacts. In terms of tools, proficiency in scheduling and analysis (e.g., Primavera P6 or MS Project), a well-organized record-keeping and reporting system (Excel/Power BI), and document management are essential. Examples of relevant certifications include AACE approaches (Cost/Delay), project management certifications (e.g., PMP/PRINCE2), or training-based FIDIC modules, depending on the project context.
A construction manager or project manager primarily oversees execution, schedules, quality, and resources on the construction site. A Construction and Infrastructure Claims Manager, on the other hand, focuses on contract provisions, evidence management, and the enforcement or defense of claims in accordance with defined deadlines and standards of proof. With these profiles, you supplement operational management with a clear, negotiation- and dispute-proof claims structure.
Typical deliverables include a claims and amendment register, a robust timeline, and an evidence and documentation plan. In addition, there are quantified EOT and cost-overrun items with assumptions, derivations, and traceable calculation methods. For negotiations, the Claim Manager provides dossiers, status reports, and scenarios that ensure consistency among stakeholders across project management, procurement, and legal departments.
The daily rate for our profiles ranges from €900 to €1,400. The specific rate depends primarily on the complexity of the claim, the contract model (e.g., FIDIC/VOB), the likelihood of a dispute, and the level of detail required for quantification and schedule analysis. Our profiles are happy to provide support both throughout the project and for targeted claim packages with clear deliverables.
