Our Professional Team

This deep understanding comes from a combined professional experience of in excess of 70 years of the two legally qualified personnel (called to the Malaysian Bar) coupled with degrees in construction related subjects. We also have on our team a highly experienced senior planner as well as a quantity surveyor with experience of close to 15 years.

Our team are well placed to provide the broad spectrum of construction contracts consultancy services.

An advantage with our personnel is that the details of the construction process and constructional problems do not need to be explained. There are also situations in which we are able to discern facts which a non-technical person may not be able to see.

Services

Whether for our developer or contractor clients, our expertise in construction contracts consultancy is essential for a successful outcome. 

At tender stage

Especially in large or critical projects it is necessary to negotiate to agree on particular terms. Towards this end we assist clients by drafting amendments to standard conditions of contracts or drafting particular conditions.

During project implementation

There are always three headings of claims in construction contracts:

  • Additional payment for variations.
  • Claims for extension of time.
  • Claims for payments to compensate for additional costs incurred.
After completion

Our input is provided for arguments, rebuttals and claims, with our professional team’s support and preparation for formal dispute resolution.
