Service brief

Most project disputes trace back to a contract that was vague, one-sided or missing something important. Our contracts review service reads every agreement from an engineer's point of view: is the scope complete, do the payment terms match real progress, and are delays, variations and defects handled fairly?

We mark up the risks, propose clear wording, and support you in negotiating the changes. During construction we can also review variation orders and claims against the contract, so what you pay always matches what was agreed.
