CONTRACT REVIEWS
Performing construction contract reviews is crucial for Brightway as a Quantity Surveying firm to safeguard our clients’ interests. Understanding your contractual obligations from the outset is the first step in identifying your obligations, safeguarding risk which is directly linked to successful project outcomes. The following are the reasons why contract reviews are essential:
Cost Control
Through meticulous contract examination, we can identify cost-related clauses, allowances, and payment terms. This enables us to optimise cost management strategies, prevent cost overruns, and ensure that our clients receive fair and transparent cost and value recovery throughout the project lifecycle.
Compliance Assurance
Contract reviews ensure that all parties involved, including contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers, adhere to the agreed-upon terms and conditions. This promotes compliance with industry standards, regulations, and best practices, shielding our clients from non-compliance penalties.
Risk Mitigation
By scrutinising construction contracts, we identify potential risks and discrepancies, allowing us to address issues proactively before they escalate. This helps protect our clients from legal disputes, financial losses, or project delays
Dispute Resolution
In the event of disputes or disagreements during the project, a well-documented contract acts as a reference point to resolve conflicts efficiently and effectively. Clear contractual terms help mitigate legal risks and provide a solid foundation
for dispute resolution mechanisms.
Scope Clarity
Clear understanding of project scope, deliverables, timelines, and responsibilities is vital for project success. Contract reviews help define and outline these essential project parameters, reducing ambiguity and minimising the probability of scope
creep or misunderstandings.
To summarise, conducting a thorough construction contract review prior to commencing works is a fundamental foundation for us to protect our clients by mitigating risks, ensuring compliance, controlling costs, clarifying scope, and facilitating smoother dispute resolution processes.
