A successful construction or engineering project calls for clear thinking, commitment and an ability to balance the different demands while keeping a keen focus on getting the job done.
To match this, our construction and engineering team combines years of experience across a wide range of projects and developments with a pragmatic, skilled approach which always keeps the end result centre stage.
Committed to achieving our clients’ objectives, we never lose sight of the final goal and work to take down walls rather than build barriers to progress.
We have worked hard to build ourselves a reputation for commercially-focused and resolutely practical advice.
As a result, our construction and engineering team’s services are in demand from clients across all commercial sectors, including process engineering, pharmaceuticals, housebuilding, chemical engineering, commercial developments, civil engineering and construction materials supplies, with our advice being sought on both commercial matters and dispute resolution.
The team advises national employers, developers, contractors, specialist sub-contractors and consultants regarding major projects as well as public sector clients in health, local government and education on projects, along with banks and funders involved in construction projects.
Members of the construction team are experienced in dealing with all major forms of construction contracts such as ACE, ICC, I CHEM E, JCT, NEC, FIDIC, MF/1, PPC 2000 and RIBA as well as bespoke agreements tailored to individual project needs.
Whatever the assignment – from a major multi-million pound development to a small-scale project agreement – we have the skills and the experience to deliver the job to our clients’ expectations.
And if matters get difficult, our team’s ability to deploy a wide range of dispute resolution techniques ensures we can choose the right tool to get the job done.
