Construction by its nature is risky. But with risk comes the potential for reward. Getting the balance right isn’t easy – we help you understand when a contract leaves you too exposed, and when it’s a good opportunity for your business.
When you have all the facts, you can make better decisions. That’s where we come in. Combining data analytics with construction industry insight, we’ll help you accept the right ratio of risk to opportunity, making sure the projects you take on return the most value.
We’ll go through your contract with a fine-tooth comb, so you understand the risks you’re taking on and the opportunities available to you. If the risk/reward balance isn’t favourable, we’ll recommend reasonable amendments to make the project more viable for your business.
We’ll support you with contract negotiations, making sure both you and your client are happy with the terms and conditions before work begins. As part of this process, we’ll cover variations, making sure that if the scope of your work changes, you’ll be protected from unreasonable costs being passed on to you.
As the project progresses, we’ll stay by your side, helping you deliver what you agreed to and protecting you from unforeseen costs.
Once work is underway, we’ll assist you with interim applications, making sure you receive payments at key stages of the project. That means fewer cash flow headaches and more room to focus on delivery. Throughout the project, we’ll stay actively involved, recording variations and valuing compensation events to keep you on track.
At the end of the project, we’ll support you through final account settlement – covering variations, claims and adjustments – to help you recover the full amount your business is entitled to. From start to finish, we help you to minimise risk and provide the commercial clarity needed for long-term financial stability.
