Contract Administration

The Right Approach

At SMD we hope that once a construction contract is executed it is put on the shelf and never needed again.

However, we also appreciate that sometimes in life, even with the best intentions, things do not always go to plan. That is why we will guide clients to the selection of the procurement route that is right for them and their project.

We will then advise on the different construction contracts available and guide you through the pros & cons of each. Once agreed, we will ensure the contract is strictly administered throughout the construction process.

The Law

We will help guide you through the legal points of a building contract and advise when solicitors are needed.

With close links to construction lawyers, we are always up to date with the latest legal issues – such as Covid-19 – and the impact they may have on a project and we relay this to our Clients.
