From inception to completion of any construction project there will be many contractual difficulties. Having the correct advice and taking action at the right time will have an impact on the commercial success of the project.  Regardless of whether you are an Owner, Employer, Main Contractor or Sub-Contractor the type of contract that you enter into will influence the level of risk and outcome of the project. Foremost Consultants can provide advice on contracts that clients intend entering into, highlighting areas of potential risk and offering advice on how to manage those risks throughout the life of a construction project.

Many problems can arise once the project commences. Often these are minor, but if not addressed properly at the time, can expand into larger problems later on. Foremost Consultants can provide commercial management services to oversee construction projects. This includes identifying areas within an organisation where improvements could be made such as ensuring proper procedures for record keeping are implemented and maintained, contractual requirements are followed, e.g. making applications on time, issuing proper notices and advising on potential claims and then preparing or defending these as necessary.

Where claims situations do arise staff have the technical and contractual expertise to assist clients in protecting their interests. If a dispute develops there are various forms of dispute resolution available; such as mediation, conciliation, adjudication, expert determination, arbitration and litigation. Foremosts Consultant's staff's extensive experience in dispute resolution enables them to advise and assist clients in dealing with these situations.
