Has Construction Claims Consulting Helped You Manage Project Challenges?

I was involved in a discussion recently about a project where delays, variations, and cost issues were becoming increasingly difficult to manage, and someone suggested bringing in construction claims consulting support before the situation became more complicated. I have never worked with that type of service myself, so I am curious whether involving specialists early really helps improve documentation and decision making or if the outcome mostly depends on how the project team has managed the process from the beginning. I would really appreciate hearing real experiences and insights from others who have worked with construction claims consultants.
