Contract Advisory & Preparation

One can never be too prepared when it comes to the drafting of contracts. The irreversible nature of construction projects makes cautiousness a virtue.

Our team of experienced staff is able to advise you on the drafting of contracts before the project commences. We aim to help you identify possible risks in the contract and advise you on how to pre-empt running these risks.

Upon drafting of these documents, we will analyse them closely with you, so as to ensure that you are satisfied and that the chances of the project’s success will be increased.

We can also help you add contract conditions or re-draft contracts where you feel that the existing terms and conditions of a contract do not meet your needs or protect your interests. These conditions would be tailored to your requirements.

During the project, we will be available to help our clients see to the administration of the contract. Our experience allows us to identify and solve expediently any problems that may arise regarding the contract.

These include areas of contention with regards to

• variation and certification (non-certification of variations/additional work done),

• payment (when payment is not made for monthly certification over a prolonged period),

• damages (if/when the imposition of liquidated damages is deemed unreasonable)

• and others (rejection of the extension of time claims, imposition of sham or illegal backcharges)
