What Systech International does

Systech International is a privately held, London-headquartered (Systech Group Limited) multi-disciplinary construction consultancy founded in 1991 by Stephen Rayment and Mark Woodward-Smith. The firm employs more than 500 specialist construction consultants across 30+ offices in the UK, Continental Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific, delivering claims management, contract advisory, project controls, expert witness services, and dispute resolution to large construction contractors, government transportation authorities, and engineering/energy firms on complex infrastructure projects (e.g., Dubai Metro, Doha Metro, Metrolinx, Sydney Light Rail, Changi DTSS).

The company's core offerings span five integrated service lines: Systech Law (a UK Solicitors Regulation Authority-regulated construction and engineering law practice, established 2008 and expanded to Australia in 2021); Claims and Dispute Resolution, supported by a proprietary Delay Analysis Software for forensic schedule analysis; Project Services including contract management, risk management, planning and scheduling, and the proprietary Site Diary App; Project Controls; and Expert Services covering quantum and time expert witness testimony. These offerings are delivered as a single-source, full-lifecycle solution across contract drafting, project execution, and dispute forums.

Systech monetizes primarily through professional services billing on project-by-project or framework engagements (e.g., a framework agreement with Metrolinx), with pricing custom to project scope and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting large contractors and government transport authorities globally, supported by thought leadership through industry seminars (e.g., ENAA in Japan), webinars (joint with Oracle), publications in trade press, and LinkedIn presence. Growth to date has been entirely organic and founder-led, with no external institutional capital, and the firm has pursued geographic and service-line expansion via partnerships (MMA Law in Kuwait, Saisida/SSD Consulting for China-related work) rather than acquisitions.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• HKA: HKA is a global construction claims, disputes, and expert witness consultancy with a very similar service mix (claims management, delay analysis, quantum, expert services) and comparable global footprint. It is the closest direct competitor to Systech in construction disputes advisory.
• Driver Trett (now part of HKA): Driver Trett (now part of HKA) was a long-standing direct competitor in delay analysis, quantum, and dispute resolution services with strong EMEA and APAC presence. It is included for historical comparability and as a reference for the service-line overlap Systech competes against.

Broad incumbents

• FTI Consulting: FTI's Construction Solutions practice offers construction claims, schedule and cost analysis, and dispute resolution alongside a much broader corporate finance and forensics portfolio. It competes with Systech on complex project disputes, particularly on government and infrastructure matters.
• Ankura Consulting: Ankura's Construction Disputes & Advisory practice provides claims management, schedule delay analysis, and expert services globally. The firm competes with Systech on large international construction disputes and has a similarly broad geographic reach.
• Arcadis: Arcadis' Contract Solutions and project advisory groups serve construction clients on claims, disputes, and project controls globally. As a much larger design and engineering consultancy, Arcadis competes where Systech operates on combined program management and disputes work.
• Turner & Townsend: Turner & Townsend delivers project controls, cost management, and contract advisory across capital projects worldwide, overlapping Systech's project controls and claims-avoidance services particularly on transportation and energy megaprojects.
• Mott MacDonald: Mott MacDonald provides construction claims, contract advisory, and project management through its Advisory and Programme Management units. It is comparable to Systech on transportation and infrastructure disputes and uses the same target client base of contractors and government owners.
• Kroll (Restructuring & Disputes): Kroll's Construction Services practice offers claims and schedule delay analysis, often as part of larger restructuring or insurance engagements. It competes with Systech where construction disputes intersect with corporate distress or insurance loss adjustment.
• WSP (Project & Commercial Services): WSP's project commercial management division handles contract administration, claims and dispute avoidance across large infrastructure programs. It overlaps with Systech's project services and contract management work, particularly on rail and highways engagements.

Regional players

• Setec Group: Setec's construction practice covers project management, contract advice, and dispute resolution across France and internationally. It is directly comparable on multidisciplinary construction advisory and disputes in French-speaking markets where Systech also operates.
