You will be well aware that the Construction industry is a complex business, liable to contention. So you must take suitable steps to protect your position, manage risk and avoid disputes, wherever possible.

Construction Contracts.
Where your focus is on building works, our Construction solicitors advise on the drafting and negotiation of construction contracts. We will advise you on whether a form of standard contract is appropriate. If so, we will say whether it needs to be tailored for your intended purpose. Alternatively, we may advise that you need a completely bespoke contract, to meet your specific needs. Of course, we were here to advise you throughout the cycle of your projects.

Terms of Appointment.
As a vital part of the construction and development process, these are needed for project managers, architects, surveyors, quantity surveyors, surveyors and others engaged in the construction industry. So you can obtain from our Construction team drafting assistance and practical advice regarding professional appointments across the spectrum of both residential developments and commercial developments.

Practical legal advice on non-contentious construction works.
Our Construction solicitors have the expertise to provide you with practical legal advice on all aspects of non-contentious construction works. This can be at each stage of the development and construction process - from project inception through to completion and beyond, including, at least:

• Preparation of amendments to standard-form construction contracts;
• Drafting of bespoke Construction agreements;
• Advising you on professional appointment documentation;
• Ancillary Construction matters; and
• Collateral warranties. (Please see also our section on contentious construction works)
