Contract Guard
We review terms before you sign — exposing onerous risk transfer, unrealistic programme assumptions, and clauses that turn a busy order book into a margin problem later.
Most commercial risk is created at the point of signature, not on site. Contract Guard exists to find it there, while it can still be negotiated, priced or declined, rather than managed as a consequence months into delivery.
We work through the contract alongside your team, reviewing the areas that decide commercial outcome
- Risk transfer and liability
- Payment and valuation mechanisms
- Programme and access assumptions
- Change and variation provisions
We translate what we find into a clear, prioritised risk position with a recommended negotiating stance, ready to act on the same day.
The outcome is a stronger position at signature
- Risk identified and priced before it is accepted, not discovered during delivery
- Fewer disputes and lower delay costs once the project is live
- A documented commercial rationale your business, your insurers and your funders can stand behind
