Successful construction projects are heavily based on the effective management of contracts.

This helps drive smooth project delivery, reduce disputes and minimise risks throughout the construction process.
Contract Preparation & Advice
The foundation of any successful project lies in clear, well-defined contracts. From contract selection to the final wording, we provide expert guidance through every step of the way. Whether you’re looking at a JCT, NEC, FIDIC or a bespoke agreement, we’re here to make it easy. We guide you through every step of preparation, review and management ensuring that contract terms are fair and balanced, protecting your interests and setting the stage for successful project delivery.
Cost Control & Change Management
We know how important it is to keep costs under control throughout a project, it’s the key to staying on track and ensuring a successful outcome. That’s why we stay on top of your cost management from start to finish. Our contract administration service includes regular monitoring of project costs throughout the entire lifecycle, ensuring that costs are kept under control and that any variations are properly managed. Changes and funding decisions often come from external sources, but our proactive approach to change management helps to ensure those shifts cause minimal impact on the overall project timeline or budget.
Valuations & Payments
Ensuring that payments are accurate and on time is critical to maintaining a healthy relationship between clients and contractors. The last thing you want is a payment hiccup during a project. We manage all your interim valuations to ensure payments are accurate and based on the work completed, in line with the contract. No confusion, no delays, just fair and timely payments for everyone. Our attention to detail and clear communication prevents disputes by ensuring that all parties are aligned on financial progress throughout the project.
Risk Management
Whether it’s financial, program or technical, every project comes with its risks, but we never leave them to chance. We work to identify and manage these risks before they become issues. Through regular risk management workshops, a thorough understanding of likelihood, impacts and tracking, we minimise the possibility of unexpected risks affecting the project’s success, ensuring that your project stays on track. If risks do pop up, we have a plan ready to deal with them!
Contract Dispute Resolution
Let’s be honest, sometimes things just don’t go as planned, and disputes can happen. If that’s the case, we’re here to help! Our contract administration service includes support in resolving conflicts through negotiation, mediation or adjudication. We aim to resolve issues swiftly and amicably, minimising any disruptions to the project’s progress, ensuring both parties are satisfied with the outcome and maintaining strong, positive relationships throughout the process.
Final Account Preparation
We take a proactive approach to the final account, addressing it throughout the project rather than waiting until completion. By managing this process concurrently throughout the project, we ensure that all parties are always aware of the forecasted final costs. Through thorough, ongoing analysis, we ensure that all costs are settled fairly and transparently, keeping both the client and contractor on the same page and leading to a smooth, clear project conclusion for all involved.
