Construction Contract Review & Drafting

The best way to avoid a dispute is to get the contract right. We draft, review and negotiate construction contracts so risk is allocated fairly and your interests are protected.

Review before you sign

A construction contract allocates risk - for time, cost, quality, variations and termination. We review contracts before you sign them, explain the risks in plain English, and negotiate amendments that improve your position. A few hours of review can save you from a dispute that costs many times more.

Drafting and special conditions

We draft head contracts, subcontracts, consultancy agreements and supply agreements - from standard forms such as AS 4000 and AS 4902 with tailored special conditions, through to fully bespoke agreements for complex projects.

Practical, commercial advice

We focus on the clauses that cause real disputes: payment and progress claims, variations, extensions of time, liquidated damages, defects liability, security and retention, and termination. Our goal is a contract that is clear, balanced and enforceable.
