Introduction

We are pleased to introduce our Construction and Engineering team to you establishing who we are, what we do, and most importantly, how we can add value to your business as it grows. 

No matter what other client drivers have been identified or the nature of the project, we help clients to consider carefully and reflect in clear, concise and enforceable contractual terms the following three fundamental issues to de-risk a project as much as possible: 

Time – how long do we have and what lead-in periods and key milestones (such as obtaining planning consents and other licences) do we need to programme in, to implement the technologies due to prevailing political and environmental factors? 

Cost – what is our budget, who else is paying for this, what security do they want for their investment and what are the financial consequences of any change in the design or construction parameters? 

Quality – what are the expectations in terms of yields now and in the future, are there ongoing maintenance or other performance criteria to achieve, do we have the right team around us and do they know what is expected of them? 

The 5-strong Construction & Engineering team understands that identifying client drivers and seeking to achieve any of two of the three fundamental elements above, and minimising the risks associated with the third, is the key to a successful project. We tailor our approach and advice accordingly from the very outset for all projects and litigation support.
