Consulting
What types of construction contracts do you specialize in?
We work extensively with FIDIC and NEC contracts, as well as bespoke and hybrid forms used in both international and local markets. Our expertise spans the entire contract lifecycle — from drafting and negotiation to contract administration, claims, and dispute resolution, including construction arbitration.
Can you help if my project is already in trouble or delayed?
Absolutely. We specialize in mid-project interventions — including claims preparation, delay analysis, and risk recovery strategies — to help you regain control and mitigate further losses.
Do you only work with large companies or also with SMEs and developers?
We work with a wide range of clients — from large contractors to emerging developers and owner’s teams. Our solutions are always tailored to your scale, structure, and budget.
What’s the first step to start working with you?
It starts with a free discovery call. We’ll review your current situation, identify urgent risks or gaps, and recommend a practical next step — whether it’s a one-time consultation or full project support.
Is my project information kept confidential?
Absolutely. Confidentiality is fundamental to how we work. All project data, documentation, and communication are handled with the highest level of discretion. We’re happy to sign NDAs or follow your internal confidentiality protocols to ensure your trust and protection.

- MRICS – Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors
- ASSOCRICS – Associate of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors
