Strategic Support for SME Contractors and Larger Project Teams
Whittle & Co Surveyors provides construction adjudication representation and dispute support for clients involved in live construction disputes across the UK.
We regularly act as party representative in construction adjudication for SME contractors, consultants, employers and project teams on larger and more complex schemes. Our role is to assist clients in presenting their case clearly, coherently and in accordance with the procedural requirements of adjudication.
Support may be provided on a standalone basis or alongside solicitors and in-house legal teams.

Whittle & Co Surveyors provides strategic and practical adjudication support, including:

- Referral, response and reply support
- Evidence collation and quantum strategy
- Representation alongside solicitors
Each instruction is approached with careful consideration of contractual entitlement, evidential strength and commercial objectives.
Dispute-Aware Representation Informed by Adjudicator Experience
Our approach is informed by Paul Whittle’s experience as a practising RICS Construction Adjudicator, who has served nearly 50 adjudication decisions in the past 5 years and has had two of his decisions enforced in the High Court (Technology and Construction Court).
This perspective assists in identifying the issues most likely to influence determination, shaping arguments accordingly and avoiding unnecessary complexity. The focus is on managing disputes efficiently and proportionately.
Support From Early Dispute Stage to Determination
We frequently become involved at an early stage, assisting clients with:
- Initial dispute assessment
- Contractual interpretation
- Claim and defence development
- Procedural planning
Where disputes progress to adjudication, we continue to provide measured support through to determination.
