Construction
Construction projects are won or lost in the daily administration of change, records, programme logic and commercial decisions. The visible work on site may look controlled while entitlement, delay exposure and final account risk are quietly accumulating in correspondence, design comments, meeting minutes and unclosed variations.
How do we keep complex builds on time and on budget?
Commercial, civil and infrastructure construction sits at the heart of our practice. We advise on high-rise developments, transport networks, water and wastewater systems and major public works under FIDIC, NEC, JCT and bespoke forms — in both common-law and civil-law jurisdictions.
Capital Contracts brings disciplined contract administration, defensible records and timely commercial decisions to design-development variations, programme acceleration, concurrent delay, sub-contractor disputes and multi-year final-account reconciliation.

Perspective: Construction Change Control Starts Before the Instruction
The most expensive variations are often the ones that begin informally. Construction teams need a disciplined route from design comment, site instruction or coordination decision to contractual classification.
Perspective: Site Records Are the Commercial Memory of Construction Projects
Daily reports, photographs, meeting minutes and correspondence become decisive when delay or disruption is disputed. Construction records must be factual, contemporaneous and connected to contract events.
Perspective: Why Construction Programmes Fail as Claim Evidence
A construction programme is only useful as claim evidence if it is logic-driven, updated honestly and supported by site records. A beautiful programme can still fail if it does not reflect actual delivery.
