WHO WE ARE

Claims specialists.
Commercially minded.
Deployed globally.

Erne Renewables is a procurement, contract and commercial consultancy for major infrastructure, built around one thing: making sure our clients are paid for the work they do. We run procurement, manage contracts, build claims and variations on solid records and drive them to agreed settlement. When a dispute cannot be avoided, we support you through adjudication and arbitration.

Our team combines Contract and Commercial Project Management with RICS-qualified Quantity Surveying and over 15 years on the front line of onshore and offshore energy and infrastructure projects. You get direct access to senior people, never junior profiles.

We work globally. We mobilise quickly to site, project office or client headquarters wherever the project is, and stay with it from contract award through to final account.

OIL AND GAS · OFFSHORE AND ONSHORE

Oil and gas, from the drill floor
to financial close.

The same practical commercial control we bring to renewables, applied to offshore and onshore drilling programmes. Procurement is our specialism: we secure the right rigs, contractors and equipment on the right terms, then manage construction and financing through to completion.

TWO DISCIPLINES · ONE TEAM

Practical contract
and commercial control
on every project.

Contract and Commercial Project Management, alongside Quantity Surveying qualified in RICS. Practical people who run contracts on site, not lawyers who read them after the fact.

01 / On site and in the project office

Contract and Commercial Project Management

Schedule slipping, scope changing, and claims landing on your desk? We step into the project and take control of the contract day to day, so entitlement is protected, costs are controlled and issues are settled before they become disputes.

→ Procurement, subcontract and supply chain management
→ Contract administration and notices (FIDIC / NEC / JCT)
→ Claims, variations and compensation events

Contract direction and quantity surveying

02 / RICS-qualified quantity surveying

Contract direction with a practical mind

Contracts are run on site, not in a courtroom. Our RICS-qualified quantity surveyors give clear, commercially grounded direction: what you are entitled to, what it is worth, and how to get it agreed and paid.

→ Valuations, payment applications and cash flow
→ Quantum and cost assessment of claims and variations
→ Final accounts and commercial settlement

OUR PROCESS · THREE PHASES

Procurement, Contracts, Claims, Arbitration and Payments management.

Every major project generates thousands of records, instructions and changes. We turn that into clear entitlement, accurate valuations and agreed payments, so the commercial position is always under control.

Control phase

Records, notices and entitlement

We review the contract, records and daily logs, set up robust notice and change control, and establish exactly what each party is entitled to.

FIDIC NEC Daily Logs Notices

Valuation phase

Claims, variations and quantum

Using critical path analysis and RICS quantity surveying practice, we value delay, disruption and variations and present them clearly and credibly.

Critical Path Delay Analysis Quantum RICS

Settlement phase

Negotiation, payment and final account

We negotiate directly with the other side, secure payment and close out the final account. The aim is commercial agreement, not a dispute.
