Navigating the Complexity of Modern Contracts
In today’s economic climate, where margins are tight and risks are high, a practical overview of your contract is essential. We bring a deep, technical understanding of the many conditions of contract in use today. Whether you are working under NEC3, the Standard Form of Building Contract, or international FIDIC forms, we provide the clarity you need.
We believe in getting the details right from the start. Our team focuses on:
- Eliminating discrepancies in contract documentation
- Ensuring clear and unambiguous communication channels
- Providing expert interpretation of bespoke conditions
- Drafting and negotiating terms that protect your bottom line
From Local Infrastructure to Global Landmarks
Our track record is as diverse as the industry itself. We have lent our commercial expertise to projects ranging from tenement rehabilitations and design-and-build housing to massive international infrastructure developments.
Notable projects we have delivered include:
- Taoyuan International Airport MRT (Taiwan): Provision of commercial management and dispute resolution services for this major rapid transit system.
- Stirling, Alloa, Kincardine Rail (SAK): Full-time commercial management for a 14-mile new railway line joint venture.

A Proactive Approach to Claims and Cost Control
"We believe that cost control, claims prevention, and claims defence are the most vital qualities we bring to our clients."
We don't wait for problems to arise. By ensuring contemporary records are meticulously kept and instructions are handled timeously, we reduce the risk of claims before they start. If a dispute does occur, we are experts in the preparation, negotiation, and settlement of contractual claims, covering everything from loss of productivity and disruption to overheads and finance charges. We work tirelessly to ensure you recover your maximum entitlement while defending you against liquidated damages or set-off charges.
