Welcome to our Construction Team page!
Operating in and around major cities demands fast, effective construction and engineering support. Whether you are delivering residential, commercial or industrial projects, installing plant and machinery or undertaking refurbishment and fit-out works, we provide the procurement and legal guidance you need.
Procurement and Project Support
From project inception to handover, we help you choose the right procurement route based on time, cost and quality. We advise developers, contractors, specialist subcontractors, funders, commercial occupiers and education providers. Our Project Briefing and Project Planning service identifies risks early and supports accurate budgeting. Fixed menu pricing is available for key construction, development and subcontract packages.

Contract and Appointment Review – Fixed Fee
We review building contracts, subcontracts and consultant appointments to flag onerous terms, building safety obligations and risk-heavy provisions before you commit.
Building Safety Act 2022
We give clear, practical advice on meeting your duties under the Building Safety Act. This includes client, principal designer and principal contractor responsibilities, Golden Thread requirements, Gateways, competence obligations and the role of the Building Safety Regulator. We also support with contract amendments, compliance reviews and strategies for managing building safety disputes and defect claims.
Dispute Strategy and Management
We help you understand your position from the start and work with you to avoid unnecessary cost or disruption. Where disagreements arise, we use mediation, negotiation and early neutral evaluation to secure efficient outcomes. We also support cost recovery where possible. We represent developers, consultants, contractors and subcontractors in Adjudication disputes. Our team advises on major real estate, infrastructure, and engineering projects. If a dispute cannot be avoided, we guide you through the Adjudication process and provide a clear strategy with commercial recommendations. Our cost estimation supports informed decision-making throughout. We regularly advise on disputes involving payment, defects, delay, disruption, variations and contract interpretation.
