Contract Solutions
Construction Contracts, of whatever form – design build, designed by the employer etc. - more frequently than not constitute an agreement to undertake the Works by one party for another. This means that agreements a little beyond a handshake need to be set up. Agreements that do not adversely advantage one party over another ensures that works are undertaken in an environment of fairness and mutual respect. Our training and over two decades in the drafting of tender documents and conditions of contract, and the administration of these contracts make us aware of every aspect of structuring construction contracts.
Even with the greatest contract structuring competence, disputes can arise. This can be extremely difficult to assess and resolve, leading to delays, disruption and potential financial costs. Our skills and experience in avoiding, mitigating or resolving disputes have allowed our clients to prevail in the face of even the most complex of challenges.
