Consultancy

We deliver results. Not theories, not legal essays — real commercial outcomes that protect margins, remove risk, and keep projects moving. Our clients don’t come back to us out of politeness; they come back because we’ve saved them millions through clear interpretation of contract obligations, early visibility of risk, and practical NEC guidance that actually works on site. We cut through the noise, explain things in plain English, and give direction that commercial and operational teams can act on immediately. In an industry full of over-complicated advice, we are straight-talking, grounded, and focused on what matters: helping you avoid disputes, strengthen your position, and deliver your project successfully.

Contract reviews

Clear, concise and exhaustive reviews that spot all the hidden risk.  We present to you in a no-nonsense, straight talking factual manner.  We tell you what the risk really means to you and your team and how to manage it effectively.

Procurement & subcontracts

With the NEC in particular, it is imperative that we consider subcontracts properly, this is often overlooked and when it is will aways come back to bite you. We can help with all elements including strategy, processes, templates, flow-down and supply-chain negotiation.

Procurement & Compensation Events & change control

The backbone of the NEC, must be done right or you lose entitlement. Our involvement in this area has made contractors millions.

Dispute resolution

Lets steer away from adjudication where possible; if not, the let’s prepare clear, evidence-led positions that are going to win for us.

We provide clear, practical commercial advice that protects your position, strengthens your contracts, and keeps projects moving without unnecessary disputes.
  • Commercial Expertise Backed by Real Project Experience For over three decades We've worked at the sharp end of major UK construction and infrastructure projects — from complex NEC4 Option C frameworks to multi-billion-pound refurbishment programmes. We don't just understand contracts; we understand how they actually operate on site, under pressure, with real people, real deadlines and real risks. Our clients rely on us because we bring clarity where others bring confusion. We identify commercial exposures early, tighten contract positions, and give teams the confidence to make decisions that protect margin and keep work moving.
  • Straight-Talking Support That Cuts Through the Noise Construction is already complicated enough without turning simple issues into legal dissertations. Our approach is direct, practical and grounded in experience. We translate the NEC into plain English, remove ambiguity, and explain exactly what needs to happen and why. Whether we're supporting a commercial team, guiding a Project Manager, or training operatives on the ground, we focus on actionable steps — not theory. That's why clients like working with us: We are approachable, down-to-earth, and we don't hide behind jargon.
  • NEC Training Built for the Real World Our NEC training isn't academic. It's designed around the day-to-day challenges that contractors, clients and supply chain partners actually face. We show people how to avoid disputes, how to communicate properly, how to use Early Warnings the way they were intended, and how to protect themselves commercially without slowing the job down. Our training is tailored to the organisation, the contract and the people in the room. The result? Teams become more confident, more compliant, and significantly more effective.
  • Proven Results That Clients Can Measure We've saved companies millions through rigorous interpretation of contract obligations, robust challenge of disallowed costs, enhanced procurement strategies, and early identification of compensation events. But the real measure of success is that clients continue to pick up the phone and ask us back. They trust us because we deliver — consistently. Whether we're auditing costs, supporting a dispute, advising on risk, or steering a project back on track, our aim is always the same: to protect the client's position and deliver the best outcome possible.
