We provide talks, workshops and consultancy on all aspects of construction contracts and construction law. Terms and conditions are universally ignored - the ARCADIS survey cites failure to read, understand and use the contract as major causes of global construction disputes. It doesn't have to be like this. Your contracts should help you do business and create successful projects - a tool for managing your project and making money. We simplify contracts, contract processes and help you understand those we can't simplify. We work with construction companies who want to do contracts differently and create contracts which build trust. We can provide our 500-Word Contract to provoke debate. We can teach you how to use it. We can coach your staff in better negotiation. We can give you the confidence to read, use and understand your contracts. We provide workshops to analyse your contracts, explain what is wrong, help you understand what needs to change and use the new version too. And we do it simply!
