Lowry Consulting background.

 

As quantity surveyors we are the construction industry's most experienced and qualified construction payment professionals.
Our background in construction payment comprises of many years of combined experience in contract management, BCIPA adjudication payment claims and schedules, expert legal reports and expert witness work, regular QS work such as bills of quantities and much more. You can check the CV's of our experts on our 'People' page, our credentials speak for themselves.

​Most payment dispute and non-payment occurs​ when systems and processes employed do not match the contract requirements (risks) and, when an employer tries to pass on their losses down stream, we call this fishing for guppies that is destined for dispute or losses for the looser.

​

We can help you take control over your payment in the construction industry.
