Project communications
We identify relevant project mailboxes, chats, and attachments across the sources available for collection.
WHO WE SERVE
Understand the sequence behind your project records.
We help you connect project documents and communications to the events in dispute, creating a clearer technical record for your review.
YOUR PRIORITIES
Make the work relevant.
We shape the work around the questions you face, the people who need the findings, and the decisions those findings will support.
Versions and dates
We examine document versions and dates in context to help you evaluate the project history.
Multiple custodians
We work with you to define a collection and review scope across the people who hold relevant records.
01
Reconstruct the project record across its sources
The sequence behind a project decision may be distributed across email, attachments, chat and different custodians' files. We help you identify the relevant project events and compare the authorized records available for that period. That gives counsel a technical chronology grounded in sources rather than a collection of disconnected documents.
02
Start with the event, participants and period
Identify the disputed instruction, revision or decision and the people likely to hold relevant records. We use that context to define a proportionate collection. Where records from different sources appear inconsistent, we examine the available technical context rather than selecting the version that best fits an allegation.
03
What the engagement can provide
A project-source and custodian scope; organized records for review; a chronology connected to its supporting material; and focused technical opinion where retained. Counsel directs the legal questions, source owners coordinate authorized access, and construction specialists address matters within their expertise.
04
What the evidence cannot establish on its own
File dates and document history do not, by themselves, establish when an instruction was understood or acted upon. DFI's digital examination does not replace construction expertise or determine delay responsibility, causation or entitlement.
05
Before we speak
Bring the relevant project period, disputed events, participants and custodians, known communication systems, representative document descriptions, and required production format. Describe source-access constraints and existing collections.
