Construction Contracts
Specialist advice on construction contracts and risk allocation
Clear contract drafting and risk allocation at the front end of a project can prevent expensive disputes later. We assist builders, contractors, developers and consultants with the preparation, review and negotiation of construction and consultancy contracts across a wide range of project types.
When you might need contract advice
✓ Before signing a head contract or subcontract
✓ New development
✓ When reviewing developer or financier side deeds
✓ Where risk allocation feels one-sided
✓ For major variations to existing contracts
✓ When project documentation is incomplete or inconsistent
Construction contracts set the framework for risk allocation, variations, extensions of time and dispute resolution. For related advice, see our Variations, EOTs & Claims, Adjudication & Security of Payment and Construction Disputes & Litigation services.
