It is essential to choose the correct Option which is fixed according to the risk profile of the Project.
A. Lamb Associates has successfully prosecuted many claims under the NEC and is therefore uniquely placed to draft contracts and manage the tender process in a manner that reduces the contractors opportunity for claims.
We will work with your procurement team to ensure only high quality robust contracts are entered into, or we will vet your proposed contracts prior to invitation to tender.
We advise on the following essentials:
- Programme and milestone obligations

- Site Information, provision and sufficiency
- Standard clause amendments for weather and ground conditions
- Interim payment and dispute provisions
- Management and Resource obligations
There is no substitute for proper preparation.
It is of paramount importance to ensure the fundamentals of the contract are correct.
A robust but reasonable approach produces the best results.
It is essential to discuss and agree all potential risks to the Project with the Contractor.
We can support your Project Manager and Supervisor on an on-going basis ensuring that costly mistakes do not occur in the administration of the Project.
Strict timeframes require proper and prompt administration.
