Senior commercial advisory at programme level. Trusted by Tier 1 head contractors and infrastructure principals across Australia's major civil, rail, energy and transport programmes - and by the supply chain operating within them.
Senior commercial support at programme level - subcontract risk, supply chain strategy and governance frameworks that protect margin and keep delivery on track. We've led commercial functions at this level. We know what the pressure looks like from the inside.
Independent commercial advice to infrastructure owners, government agencies and their legal teams - procurement strategy, delivery model selection, contract risk allocation and expert evidence when disputes arise. Trusted to give frank advice, not comfortable advice.
We operate at the big table — and that experience flows directly to the supply chain. Whether you are a subcontractor managing a disputed payment, a specialist contractor facing a one-sided subcontract, or a design consultant navigating scope creep, uJenga brings the same senior commercial rigour to your engagement.
Line-by-line review of NEC3/4, FIDIC, AS series and bespoke subcontracts. We benchmark risk allocation, flag onerous provisions and arm you with a clear-eyed position before you sign.
Bid/no-bid analysis, pricing risk calibration and competitive positioning. We lead or support your tender effort so the commercial case is locked in before the first pour.
Embedded contract administration from commencement to close-out - progress claims, notices, programme obligations and day-to-day compliance so nothing slips through the cracks.
Early identification and rigorous documentation of scope changes. We build your variation register, quantify entitlements and drive timely agreement to keep cash flowing.
Facilitated risk workshops, quantitative modelling and live risk registers that give your leadership team sight of exposure before it becomes a problem on the programme.
End-to-end claim strategy - entitlement analysis, quantum build-up, narrative drafting and submission management. We prosecute your claims and defend against the other side's.
Forensic schedule analysis using time-impact, as-planned vs as-built and windows techniques. Defensible cause-and-effect narratives that stand up to expert scrutiny.
Merit assessment, preparation and prosecution of adjudication applications and responses under the BIF Act. As a registered QBCC adjudicator, we understand what succeeds - and advise you honestly when a claim won't stand up.
Accredited mediator services focused on preserving project relationships. Constructive, outcome-driven facilitation that resolves disputes without the cost and delay of formal proceedings.
Cost-to-complete forecasting, earned value tracking, contract valuations and margin reporting. The financial lens your project needs to protect the bottom line.
Design and implementation of commercial frameworks, delegation authorities, approval workflows and reporting structures that bring rigour and transparency to your operations.
Practical, workshop-based training in contract administration, claims, SOP legislation and commercial fundamentals - built for the people who run your projects, not the boardroom.
Roger spent decades inside Tier 1 head contractors - leading commercial functions, negotiating principal contracts, and building the very risk frameworks that subcontractors now face. We know exactly how the other side thinks.
Under the BIF Act, missing a date by a day can cost you the claim. We work to the same statutory discipline as the adjudicators - because our director is one. No learning curve, no grey areas on process.
We tell you what the contract means commercially - what the risk is, what it costs, and what you should do about it. Practical, frank, and direct. Not hedged and billed by the six-minute unit.
You work directly with Roger Newman - 30+ years of Tier 1 experience, MCL, QBCC adjudicator, accredited mediator and expert determiner. Not junior staff learning on your project.
Our on-call model gives you senior Tier 1 commercial experience, scaled to your situation - from a quiet review to full embedded advisory.
The outcome: Senior specialist judgment, operating at AI scale — secured by Microsoft, built specifically for infrastructure commercial work.
We have built our own in-house AI platform to handle the heavy lifting: finding, cleaning and structuring project data, so our industry specialists spend time where it matters - analysis, advice and outcomes, not collation.
What makes our AI different is not the technology. It is the 30+ years of Tier 1 infrastructure experience baked into how it works. Knowing what data to look for, how to read it in context, and what to do with it - that is the human intelligence that makes the AI powerful. We cover volumes of project data at a scale no manual process can match, but every finding is interpreted and acted on by an experienced specialist, not an algorithm.
The result is faster, deeper commercial analysis - with the judgment to know what it means for your project.
Your contract, specification and scope documents are ingested and analysed against our purpose-built construction risk framework - developed from 30+ years of reading these documents on live programmes. The system identifies onerous clauses, risk-allocation imbalances, ambiguous scope boundaries and notice traps across the full document suite, not just the main agreement. Every finding is traceable to the source clause and reviewed by a specialist before it reaches you.
We load your project data - correspondence, RFIs, site diaries, variation logs, programme updates and payment records - and run structured AI mining across the full record. Our framework is built around what an experienced commercial specialist looks for: patterns, themes and pressure points that indicate entitlement, delay causation or contractual exposure. Hotspots are ranked by financial significance and entitlement strength, giving you a prioritised view of where to focus effort for the best commercial return.
Our AI analyses your project record against the contract, programme and specification to identify and structure the strongest grounds for entitlement - delays, disruptions, scope additions and principal-caused events. It surfaces supporting evidence across the document suite, maps the causation chain and drafts preliminary claim narratives grounded in your own project record. Experienced specialist review then shapes the strategy. The volume AI can process in hours would take weeks manually - which means more of your claim record gets examined, not sampled.
Our in-house Monte Carlo simulation engine ingests your contract, scope of work and project specifications to build a probabilistic risk model calibrated to your specific project - not a generic template. The risk categories, weightings and drivers are informed by 30+ years of seeing which risks actually materialise on infrastructure programmes and what they cost. The model runs thousands of simulations to quantify cost and programme outcomes, confidence intervals and the commercial sensitivity of each risk. Specialist judgment determines what goes in. The AI handles the computation at a scale and speed no spreadsheet can match.
Some of the most valuable evidence on a construction project never makes it into a formal register. It lives in email inboxes - in the instructions given, the warnings ignored, the approvals granted and the complaints made, often years before a dispute crystallises. Our AI eDiscovery module ingests Outlook PST files and email archives, then searches, tags and structures the correspondence record against your specific claim issues, events and timeframes.
The system surfaces emails that corroborate or undermine positions, identifies key threads, extracts admissions and flags unanswered notices - producing a structured chronology and evidence index that a specialist can work from directly. Email evidence that would take a team weeks to manually review is processed, organised and prioritised in a fraction of the time.
Contracts, specifications and scope documents carry dozens - sometimes hundreds - of obligations, hold points, witness points, submission requirements and key references that a project team must actively manage. In practice, these are rarely captured systematically at project start-up, and the consequences of missing them can be severe: loss of entitlement, non-compliance, or an undermined claim position.
Our Scope Intelligence module reads the full contract and specification suite and produces a structured obligations register: every obligation identified, categorised, cross-referenced to its source clause and mapped to the relevant project phase. Hold points and witness points are extracted and scheduled. The output is a practical management plan your project team can actually use from day one - not a document sitting on a shelf.
