Contract Advice

We offer clear, concise contractual advice on all matters relating to construction contracts and their implications.

We regularly assist clients with questions, queries or disputes relating to JCT contracts, NEC contracts, DOM contracts and also bespoke contracts.

We know that contractual disputes can escalate very quickly. We will inform you of your contractual position in a timely and in-depth manner. We will also offer you a solution to your dispute.

Contract Negotiation

When we are instructed by our clients to comment on their proposed contract, we draw on our experience of the Housing, Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 and the key clauses the act requires all construction contracts to incorporate.

All construction contracts must have specific clauses regarding Specification, Price, Payment Mechanism, Programme, Scope of Works, Suspension of Work and Adjudication (as a minimum).

Often Main Contractors attempt to bend these clauses to suit their own means via amendments. These amendments may also contain contract clauses that could expose your company to potential large financial liabilities.

Please remember that it is imperative that all proposed contracts and amendments are reviewed and if appropriate comments made.

Contract Formulation

Do you have subcontractors who require a contract of works?

We assist our clients with formulating contracts for their construction projects. A professionally formulated contract will reduce the financial risks involved with construction. It is our intention to remove the cloud of uncertainty and subsequent disputes this uncertainty brings.

Why don’t you take a look at our subcontractor agreement or a JCT Minor Works Contract?
