Construction & Engineering Law

Advice on the four CIDB-endorsed standard-form construction contracts and the disputes that arise under them.

The firm advises employers, contractors and consultants on construction and engineering projects, with particular expertise in the standard-form contracts endorsed by the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB). Our founder holds a certificate in Construction Adjudication.

We help clients select, interpret and apply the right contract for a project — FIDIC, NEC, GCC or JBCC — and we draft and review the contract documents, bonds and guarantees that support it.

When disputes arise over payment, variations, delay or defects, we pursue them through negotiation, adjudication and, where necessary, arbitration or litigation.
