Common questions
Do you provide legal advice or representation?
No. SA Ventra provides contractual, technical and commercial support. Legal advice, drafting of pleadings and representation remain with your appointed advocate, whom we support with evidence, chronologies and technical analysis.
We missed a contractual notice. Is the claim lost?
Not necessarily, but it depends on the contract wording and the facts. We review the entitlement and the records available and give you a candid view of the position before any further cost is incurred.
Do you act for both owners and contractors?
We advise both, but never both sides on the same project or dispute. Every mandate starts with a conflict check.
What records do you need?
The contract and its amendments, correspondence, minutes of meetings, daily or monthly progress reports, programmes, RFI and drawing registers, and payment records. We help organise what exists.
How do you prove a delay?
By linking each event to its effect on the completion date using a recognised delay-analysis method, supported by contemporaneous records. Cost is built from actual records, because Indian courts and tribunals expect proof of actual loss.
