Construction

Building by design

• Understanding what’s needed at every stage of development
• Delivering on your objectives from procurement to completion
• Protecting your interests across each project lifespan

Across the construction, civil engineering and process engineering sectors, we have significant experience in advising on a wide variety of domestic and international projects: representing commercial and residential developers, lenders, contractors, architects, engineers and other professional consultants, investors and landlords.

We deal with every stage of development.  This covers funding and development financing, preparing construction documentation for new builds, refurbishments and fit-outs, appointing professionals, and advising on contracts, insurance and guarantees.

Our technical proficiency is matched by a strong commercial understanding: recognising the importance of driving projects forward, we proactively avoid unnecessary delays to ensure that deadlines are met.

In forging durable relationships, we take time to understand our clients’ strategic goals.  Invariably, they stay with us for many years.  We become part of their team, identifying opportunities and creating a competitive advantage.
