Risk Advisory Services
Most disputes arise not from a lack of entitlement, but from failures in the commercial process — missed notices, incomplete records, or risks that weren't identified at the tender stage.
Our risk advisory service helps you stay on top of your contractual obligations throughout a project, so you're protected whether a dispute arises or not.
We can develop tailored risk management plans that outline mitigation strategies, assign responsibilities, and establish monitoring procedures.
Due diligence and document review
We review commercial risks across the standard forms used in Ireland and the UK — RIAI, Public Works Contract, JCT, NEC, and FIDIC — as well as bespoke agreements. If you're tendering a project on unfamiliar contract conditions, we can conduct a commercial review before you sign, identifying risks and advising on your position.
Independent Review of Project Costs
Where a construction manager is engaged on a time-cost basis, an independent review of expenditure provides assurance to the client that costs are reasonable and necessary. We review the relevant records and produce an independent assessment — whether for fund drawdown purposes, contract compliance, or dispute proceedings.
Programme Analysis
We can assist with a review of progress on site, whether prospectively or retrospectively see our Programme Analysis services.
Recovery of Construction Debt
If you have a disputed variation account, unpaid interim certificates, or a final account that has stalled, we can help substantiate your entitlement and pursue recovery — through direct negotiation, conciliation, or adjudication if needed.
We also work with liquidators and receivers dealing with construction-related insolvencies, helping to establish the correct termination value and challenge overstated employer claims where the contract has been determined.
