Often during a project, a client (who might be an employer, a contractor or a subcontractor) needs some guidance when contractual issues arise.

It is not unusual for parties to a construction contract to need quick advice on issues such as a right to suspend works, the serving of applications for payment, the serving of pay less notices and termination issues.

Bringing a contract to an end is a ‘nuclear option’, something that should not be done lightly and without careful consideration of all of the facts and circumstances. We can advise on whether there are grounds for terminating a contract (using either the contractual mechanism or a common law repudiatory breach option).

Our team is at hand to provide guidance and steer matters in the right direction. When specialist quantity surveying and consultancy advice is required, we can recommendation experts whom we have worked with on many occasions.
