In our experience most challenges and disputes start with heavily amended 1-sided contracts, signed-up to with huge risks and onerous terms passed onto the sub-contractor with little room for manoeuvre.

Which is why it's crucial you have someone with contract-specific expertise to review every contract 'before' signing.

As part of the pre-contract review, we will prepare an overview of the contract, a table of contract-specific terms required for administering the contract smoothly and a further table of onerous clauses and suggested amendments to be negotiated with the Main Contractor prior to signing the contract.

Our team regularly review, advise and negotiate complex terms, sub-contracts, appointment documents, collateral warranties and bonds providing confidence the proposed agreements are safe to sign with a better balance of terms, risks and capped liabilities.

We value and negotiate variations and time delays as they occur or when entitlement and payment is challenged.

Our team will review the issue and approach it as a 2-part process:

1: Setting out the event in writing so the principle can be understood and agreed in principle.

2: Then compile time and cost records and present them with sufficient supporting back up to enable agreement and payment.

We also offer a comprehensive review of your existing sub-contract, to help identify contract specific requirements and processes that need to be followed to ensure timely payments and agreement of variations.
