Client Testimonials

The Claim and Dispute Management in Construction training delivered by JTE Claims Consultants was exceptionally well-structured, highly relevant, and professionally executed. I have always considered myself above-average-versed in claims and dispute processes; this session was a genuine eye-opener — providing deeper insight into the strategic, procedural, and contractual dimensions of effective claim management. The course distinguished itself through its practical application of real-world case studies, linking complex issues to structured methodologies and proactive risk management strategies. The content was clear, actionable, and directly applicable to project execution and contract administration. A truly valuable learning experience for any construction professional.

“We engaged JTE for a highly complex matter that required careful navigation of numerous interconnected issues. The case involved a substantial volume of information, where identifying cause and effect was not always straightforward. Jiwan and his team approached the challenge with great vigour and diligence. They were meticulous in their analysis, methodical in their handling of information, and consistently attentive to the details that truly mattered. Their ability to distill complicated issues into clear insights added immense value throughout the process. JTE's contribution was instrumental in assisting us through the dispute resolution process, and we would not hesitate to recommend them for their outstanding service.”

Counsel, McMillan LLP

“The Ottawa Police Service competitively contracted JTE Claims Consultants Ltd. to conduct an independent, expert third-party review of our major capital construction project, which encountered significant unforeseen costs and delays. JTE provided a strategic, high-quality, thorough, timely and value-added report for senior leadership and our Board, which identified the root cause of our difficulties, lessons learned, and a constructive path forward to improve our practices, as we prepare for a second major capital construction project. We received value for money, and we would not hesitate to leverage JTE's expertise moving forward.”
