Straight answers
Construction contract questions answered
Good advice should help you decide what to do next. Here are clear answers to common questions from building and civil engineering businesses.
Do you handle JCT or NEC contracts?
Yes. We review standard form contracts and can explain key amendments, add supplementary terms or draft supporting documents for your project.
What about plant hire insurance clauses?
We review insurance, damage and liability wording from the owner and hirer perspective, including breakdowns, misuse and equipment downtime.
Can you prepare standard subcontract terms for repeated use?
Yes. We can create a practical template around your operating procedures, then identify the details that need changing on each job.
How quickly can I get a review?
We aim for a 48-hour turnaround for standard subcontract agreements, subject to the document length and the points that need attention.
