Seeing an uptick in enquires for contract drafting for new developments. JCTs, JV agreements, landowner agreements, escrow agreements etc.. Part of the Boris Bounce or just that time of year?

Be careful of ‘jam tomorrow’ deals. The jam often never comes. Be very reluctant to take a loss on one job to secure another. Ask yourself ‘why will it be different next time?’

We’d also add that #modularconstruction will continue to gain ground and is likely to alter the legal dynamics on many projects

Always make #design responsibilities clear in your contracts. It’s a frequent source of disputes. Don’t assume that the other party will fill any gaps.

LUC #Bristol's Katie Luxmoore and Harry Quartermain enjoyed speaking at Quadrant Resolution's Construction Breakfast this morning on the topic of #BiodiversityNetGain. Great venue too, Engine Shed.

Top tip: before sending out appointments for professionals check to see if the funder requires a specific collateral warranty that you should include.

As experts in #modularconstruction it’s great to see it being used more, but traditional contracts often fall short. It’s vital to account for the off-site nature of the work and manage that risk.

For the first time today we’ve had several enquires as to whether #Construction contracts need amending to take into account of possible delays due to #coronavirus. Depends on the contract but the answer can be “yes”

Continuing to see amendments to contracts which fully place the risk of concurrent delay on the builder. Any builder accepting that risk should charge a corresponding premium.

Advice for the housing, construction & building maintenance industries: 🔹If you can work from home, do so. 🔹If you are working on site, you can continue to do so. But follow Public Health England guidance on social distancing. 🔹Outside of work, remember to #StayHomeSaveLives

If a construction site is closed now, prior to a change in law or government action, then Sub-Contractors are likely to be entitled to time and possibly loss and expense. Sub-Contractors should make such claims very promptly.
