The Problem

  • Confusing contracts: JCT, NEC, FIDIC – overwhelmed by clauses and legal jargon.
  • Unclear liability: When are you liable in tort? How do you avoid negligence claims?
  • Statutory minefield: Construction Act, Building Safety Act – risk non-compliance.
  • Dispute resolution uncertainty: Adjudication, arbitration, litigation – which route?
  • Quantum meruit confusion: When can you claim payment for work done without a contract?

The Solution

  • Step-by-step contract breakdown: Understand key clauses and standard forms.
  • Liability clarity: Learn the duties of care and how to avoid negligence claims.
  • Statutory compliance roadmap: Navigate the Construction Act, Building Safety Act, and more.
