CONTRACTUAL SUPERPOWERS FOR CONSTRUCTION SUBCONTRACTORS
A managed service for Construction Contract Reviews, Contract Administration, and Dispute Management.
- Securing Contractual Confidence
- Project Margin Protection
- To Reduce Company Overheads
- Make and Keep More Profit
GONE ARE THE DAYS OF A FAIR CONTRACT...
The reality of the construction industry is that 99% of the contracts are either client written “hostile” contracts or highly amended standard contracts. The further down the chain you are, the more the risk is pushed onto you.
Unreasonable Terms
These contracts often times are asking you to sign up to unlimited liability, consequential damages, never ending rewarranty periods and extremely tight time bars (to name a few issues).
Even for smaller value contracts, signing up to the wrong terms can potentially be catastrophic for your business.
Expensive Recruitment
The problem for Subcontractors is they cannot afford to pay the recruitment and salary costs for Lawyers, Contracts Experts and Contract Admins with the bell curve nature of projects.
What do you do with these people between projects?
This means that senior management has to spend considerable time doing the reviews and contract management themselves.
With time constraints and lack of expertise this can lead to mistakes and omissions which can put your company at risk.

This service is everything in Quantum “Pre-Award” Service PLUS all the items below.
1. Contractual Kick Off Meetings
The goal here is to upskill site staff and close the gap between delivering the project and delivering contractually.
We download everything in your contract (Delay Events, Variations, Time Bars, Client Instructions etc) and give an easy to understand presentation to your site team so they know exactly what they need to do contractually.
2. Contractual Adherence Checklists
Contracts are written by lawyers for lawyers.
Let us dig through the all the pages of the Contract and create a checklist of what you actually need to do, what not to do and what you need to submit.
3. Change Management
No need to worry about another “system” that you need to implement.
We bring our own system, people and processes to make sure that we capture all delays and scope changes on your project.
4. Contractual Notice & Letter Prep
Getting your contractual notices in on time, with the right info and presented professionally is paramount to your success in making sure you are covered contractually.
5. Variation Preparation
Getting variations rejected (which impacts cashflow) is a major reason that subcontractors can go out of business or be forced to agree to smaller sums that they are entitled to.
Let us make sure that your variations are submitted to the highest quality so your next project is a success.
6. Contractual Advice
From time to time, you may specific contractual advice which is unique to your company and circumstances.
We’re there to help.
7. Preparation of EOT/ Disruption and Acceleration Claims
Projects don’t always run smoothly and often times, its not your fault.
Its important to present you case in a clear, organised and detailed way.
We have experts on hand to help.
8. Dispute Management via non-legal avenues
Not every situation needs lawyers. If we can resolve the issue without resulting to courts & ruining relationships, that’s how we’d like to proceed.
Getting it wrong can, and for many businesses does, mean catastrophic failure.
9. Adjudication Submissions & Defense
If we can’t help you resolve a dispute amicably and your case is strong, we’ll help you prepare and manage the adjudication process to (hopefully) a successful outcome.
On the flip side, if another company submits an adjudication against you, we’ll help you defend it.
Avoid Being Bullied So You Save Money
A lot of people give in to bullies just to avoid conflict. The problem is, that this means you’re usually caving on something important.
Don’t Trust the Claims, Trust the Facts
Unless you really know someone, it’s really hard to trust them without proof.
There Are Ways To Get Paid Without Calling in the “Heavies”
We’ve all watched mafia films where someone is tasked with “sending a message”. You shouldn’t have to resort to that just to get paid for work you’ve done.
Working Smarter for that Promotion
Getting promoted isn’t just about doing the work and hoping that you’re going to get noticed.
Why it Matters to Be Different
In the Australian cult classic Kath and Kim, there’s a famous line,
“It’s nice, it’s different, it’s unusual…”
What Construction and Restaurants Have in Common
In his famous Kitchen Confidential, the postmodern cult classic, Anthony Bourdain has a dig at restaurants that serve brunch on the weekends. He says it’s an easy way to get rid of scraps and attach a hefty price tag to it. Clever business maybe, but potentially not so great for the customer.
Never Assume You’ll Get What You Ask For…
The other day I ordered a toast basket with my breakfast. I expected it to be a basket of toast.
The Price of Marketing
Marketing is how you differentiate yourself so that you don’t need to rely on price. In competitive industries, there’s usually someone who is prepared to go out of business faster than you.
