Technical & Commercial Advisory

Independent technical advice where projects, property or commercial decisions become complex.

We advise clients where technical issues, contractual obligations or commercial risks require independent professional judgement. Whether reviewing defects, assessing contractual responsibilities, resolving disputes or providing an independent opinion on project performance, our advice is objective, evidence-based and proportionate to the instruction.

Our role is to establish the facts, identify the risks and provide practical recommendations that support informed decision-making, protect value and help clients move forward with confidence.

Claims Assessment & Support

Independent assessment of construction, insurance and contractual claims, providing technical evidence, causation analysis and advice to support informed commercial decisions.

Delay & Disruption Analysis

Assessment of project delays, disruption events and programme impacts, helping establish responsibility, entitlement and the practical implications for all parties.

Contractual Advice

Advice on contractual obligations, appointments, specifications and project documentation, helping clients understand responsibilities, risks and available options.

Technical Reviews & Audits

Independent technical reviews of buildings, projects and documentation to assess compliance, quality, performance and technical risk.

Compliance & Quality Reviews

Assessment of statutory compliance, industry standards, workmanship and quality management processes, identifying deficiencies and recommending corrective actions.

Procurement Reviews

Independent review of procurement strategies, tender processes, contract documentation and project governance to improve commercial outcomes and reduce risk.

Risk & Defect Investigations

Investigation of building defects, failures and technical issues, identifying probable causes, associated risks and appropriate remedial strategies.

Representation & Negotiation

Independent professional representation during technical discussions, commercial negotiations and project meetings, helping clients achieve informed and balanced outcomes.

Dispute Avoidance

Early technical advice aimed at resolving issues before they escalate into formal disputes, reducing programme delays, unnecessary costs and commercial risk.

Many instructions begin because something doesn’t look right, isn’t performing as expected or the contractual position is unclear. We are happy to discuss the circumstances of your instruction and recommend the most appropriate scope of investigation or professional advice before work commences.
