Industries we work in.

Roads, Bridges, Overpasses, & Detours. Road, Highway and Rail construction projects are plagued by unanticipated conditions which cause disruption, lead to changes in scope, and cause cost overruns. Lump-sum projects with a fixed completion date affected by these are more susceptible to claims than projects based on the schedule of rates with a more flexible construction schedule.

Electrical, Windfarms, & Solar. IKEA furniture and wind farm projects share a lot of similarities. Flatpacks of turbines consist of tower, blades, blades, and a container with components. We dealt with issues ranging from unsuitable access roads, damaged blades, incorrect componentry, outdated manuals, and failure to obtain AEMO approvals (which we assisted with). We also served as expert witnesses in cost disputes.

Process Plants. Full life cycle. From long-lead procurement, assistance in sourcing design, performance guarantees, to preparation of submissions to obtain board approval and project financing. We also dealt with design liability insurance claims, plant performance below specification, incomplete works, and re-work.

Mining. We can assist with the formation of Joint Ventures, feasibility studies, and board approval. We also develop ECI and overall project delivery contracting strategies. We draft MOUs, advise on separation of scope and delineation of battery limits, overseas equipment sourcing and modularisation, intelligent modules, freight and transport to site and insurances.

Office Buildings. Over 20 years of building landmark buildings like the Star City Casino with carpark and offices, as well as hotel and apartment towers, and Lyric and Show Theatres.

Negotiation with authorities regarding permits, easements, or environmental issues.

Civil. Claims for unsuitable ground conditions, latent conditions, unforeseen utilities, cracks and tears on surface layer and slippage of asphalt due to incorrect sub-base or compaction.
