Construction

Druces’ construction team advises developers, consultants, contractors, funders, insurers and end users on all aspects of construction law on a wide range of commercial, infrastructure, retail and residential projects and mixed use developments across the UK and abroad.

We advise and represent clients on industry standard form building contracts, consultant appointments and warranty documents and produce a wide variety of bespoke project documentation to cover all stages of construction projects. These include advising on tendering and procurement strategies, framework and partnering agreements, pre-construction services agreements and strategic alliancing arrangements, bespoke appointments, collateral warranties, third party rights for funders, end users and associated contract documentation required for the successful implementation of a construction project on time and on budget.

We are also here to assist when difficulties arise on a project, giving practical advice on contractual issues and dispute avoidance strategies to contractual claims preparation and responses.
