Gracia Consult

When a construction project hits a contractual wall, you need more than just a lawyer—you need a partner who understands the site as well as the statute book. At Gracia Consult, we provide high-level strategic advice and dispute resolution services to the construction, engineering, and process plant industries.

Led by Peter Gracia: A Dual-Qualified Industry Authority

Our firm is led by Peter Gracia, a professional whose credentials speak to a lifetime of expertise in the field. Holding qualifications in both Surveying and Law (BSc Dip. Law Dip. Adj. FRICS FCIOB FCIArb FQSi), Peter is a member of the RICS President's Panel and a former Chairman of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrator's Wales Branch.

When you hire us, you aren't just getting a consultant; you are getting a representative who sits on the RICS Dispute Resolution Working Group, helping to set the very standards used domestically and internationally.

From Tunnelling to Refurbishment: Sectors We Serve

We don't just work on standard builds. Our experience spans some of the most complex engineering environments in the UK and beyond:

• Infrastructure: Road schemes, rail sectors, and civil engineering.
• Energy & Process: Process plants and FPSOs (Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessels).
• Commercial & Public: Large-scale refurbishments and public sector procurement.
• Groundworks: Specialist technical disputes in sub-surface works.

Our Role in Your Success

Whether we are acting as your advocate in a dispute or sitting as the Tribunal to decide one, our focus is on clarity and resolution. We provide:

1. Expert Appointments: Peter Gracia accepts direct appointments as an Adjudicator, Arbitrator, or Expert in Expert Determination.
2. Claims Management: We write, submit, and defend claims for time and money in litigation, arbitration, and adjudication.
3. Strategic Drafting: We draft agreements that prevent disputes before they start.
4. Litigation Support: We provide the technical and quantum input your legal team needs to win.

"We bridge the gap between technical construction reality and complex contractual law."

Beyond the Paperwork: Commercial Awareness

We are known for our deep dive into the 'real' world of construction finance. Our expertise in Open Book Accounting and target cost projects allows us to identify "price leakage" and financial discrepancies that others might miss. We ensure transparency in the supply chain, protecting your bottom line from hidden discounts and internal sister-company arrangements.
