Tailored Solutions for Your Project's Success

Comprehensive Project Support Services

Our services are designed to support better outcomes across the full lifecycle of your project. With a team of experienced consultants who’ve delivered results across every part of the construction supply chain, we provide tailored expertise in four core areas: Contractual Guidance, Operational Excellence, Dispute Management and Professional Development.

Each service can be delivered as a stand-alone engagement or integrated into a managed transformation program — aligning strategy, systems, and capability to maximise impact and long-term value.

Navigating the Construction Contract Landscape

Contractual Guidance

A clear, well-managed contract is key to project success — but even strong contracts can lead to disputes if misunderstood or misapplied. We help you draft, review, and manage contracts to reduce risk, improve compliance, and avoid costly issues down the line.

Key Drivers of Disputes in Construction Projects

Disputes in construction often arise from contract issues — whether through poor drafting, misinterpretation, or non-compliance. We help you avoid these pitfalls by ensuring your contract is clear, concise, and properly understood from the outset.

Strict adherence to contract terms is key to effective collaboration. When parties treat the contract as a shared framework — not just a fallback — it strengthens trust, reinforces accountability, and sets the stage for project success.

More than just a legal document, the construction contract serves as a roadmap for the entire project. It sets out the rules, expectations, and obligations that guide delivery — providing the clarity needed to manage risk, avoid disputes, and keep the project on course.

  • Select the right contract and procurement strategy for your project
  • Draft tailored amendments to standard contract forms
  • Trial new contract models and provide gap analysis against your current approach
  • Collate and review contract documents to identify inconsistencies or risks
  • Review contracts provided by others before you sign — protecting you from hidden obligations
  • Support ongoing contract compliance to reduce disputes while preserving key relationships
  • Assist in resolving disputes quickly and effectively if they arise

Elevate your business with custom management systems

Operational Excellence

Efficient project management relies on having the right systems in place to manage risks, obtain performance reports, and make informed decisions. Improving commercial management systems can maximise financial performance and highlight potential problems early on.

Strategic Project Planning and Management

Working alongside our partners, we help you plan projects with greater accuracy — developing realistic schedules and maintaining up-to-date programs. A clear, reliable program not only drives delivery but also supports early identification of delays, helping you manage and mitigate disruptions before they impact outcomes.

We advocate for the use of interactive project management platforms — not just as communication tools, but as powerful systems for tracking risk, response times, and performance. These insights support smarter decisions and drive cost-saving improvements across your projects.

Knowing when to engage a delay expert is key to effective project management. Delays are factual events — and an up-to-date, accurate program provides both early warning and a solid foundation for assessing, managing, and mitigating their impact.

AI tools can be used to analyse project communications and detect shifts in sentiment — offering early warnings of relationship breakdowns or emerging issues. Acting on these insights allows for timely intervention before problems escalate. We recommend FastDraft by Built Intelligence, a contract management platform that combines structured communication with real-time reporting to support proactive, informed project delivery.

Navigating conflicts to efficient resolutions

Dispute Management Expertise

Effective dispute management is essential to successful project delivery. Whether through negotiation, mediation, facilitation, adjudication, or arbitration, we help you resolve disputes efficiently and with minimal disruption. Just as importantly, we work with you to implement systems that reduce the likelihood of future disputes — strengthening your project processes and relationships over the long term.

Negotiation

Negotiation is often the most effective and efficient way to resolve construction disputes. We support clients in preparing for and conducting negotiations that are focused, commercially realistic, and aimed at achieving mutually acceptable outcomes without escalating the conflict.

Mediation offers a structured yet flexible process for resolving disputes with the help of an independent third party. We guide clients through mediation to achieve practical, negotiated outcomes — often preserving relationships and avoiding the time and cost of formal proceedings.

Facilitation is a proactive approach that supports collaboration before issues escalate into formal disputes. As independent facilitators, we work with project teams to identify emerging risks, improve communication, and realign stakeholders — keeping projects on track.

Adjudication provides a fast-track resolution process under construction contracts and legislation. We prepare and respond to adjudication claims, ensuring your position is clearly presented and supported by strong commercial and contractual reasoning.

For complex or high-value disputes, arbitration offers a formal but private alternative to litigation. We support clients throughout the process, from case preparation to expert evidence, ensuring that proceedings are handled efficiently and strategically.

What Others Say

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear and concise answers to help streamline your experience with our business.

What industries do you specialise in?

Construction and infrastructure are our primary areas of expertise. We work with all organisations across the construction supply chain.

Existing clients can call us as we already have a consulting agreement. New clients may email us, telephone us or book a free initial consultation by clicking here. In that initial consultation, we will listen to your issue and advise if we can help you.

As part of that initial contact, we will check for any conflicts that might prevent us from acting for you; for instance, we might be actively working for someone in a dispute against you.

If we cannot help you, we will immediately let you know; that might be because of timescales, matters outside our expertise, or if we consider your issue in a dispute is not worth pursuing. In that case, we will always be honest and tell you if your position is weak.

Once we have agreed to assist you, we will send you a consulting agreement to sign. We may consider working under your purchase order terms if they are suitable and reasonable.

No, we are experts in construction contracts and construction law

If your dispute progresses to litigation, you will need a solicitor to manage your case procedurally. This is because only solicitors can represent you in court. We can represent you without restriction for all other dispute resolution forums, such as adjudication, arbitration, mediation, and expert determination. 90% of disputes do not progress to court.
We usually charge an hourly rate that will vary depending on whether we need the assistance of our delivery partners. We may agree to a lump sum fee for discrete work packages. Some of our services are available on a pre-paid lump sum basis. For full details, including details of our training courses, click here.
