Traditional Construction Contracts and EPC Contracts
We review traditional construction contracts and EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) agreements widely used in energy projects, clarifying each party's liability scope and the final project delivery mechanism.
Delay Clauses and Delay Penalties
We precisely review delay clauses and delay penalties, confirming their proportionality to the project's nature and clarifying circumstances that might exempt the contractor from these penalties, such as delay resulting from circumstances beyond their control.
Performance Guarantees
We help parties understand the performance guarantee mechanism, and terms for activating or releasing them, an essential tool protecting the project owner from risks of work not being completed per agreed specifications.
Execution Defect and Quality Disputes
We help project owners claim correction of execution defects or compensation for them, documenting these defects with independent technical reports supporting their position before the contractor or arbitral body.
Representation Before Construction Dispute Resolution Boards
We represent the contractor or project owner before construction dispute resolution boards, a specialized mechanism for resolving execution disputes relatively quickly compared to traditional litigation.
Commercial Arbitration in Major Construction Disputes
When a construction contract stipulates an arbitration clause, we represent parties before tribunals specialized in construction disputes, ensuring precise technical understanding of the complex engineering dispute's nature.
Sub-Supply Contracts and Subcontractors
We review sub-supply contracts between the main contractor and subcontractors, clarifying liability distribution when any defect or delay occurs in a specific part of the project.
Modifying Work Scope During Execution
We help parties handle work scope modification requests arising during execution, including negotiating price and timeline adjustments fairly reflecting this change.
Extension-of-Time Claims and Critical Path Analysis
When a contractor claims an extension to the contractual term due to circumstances beyond their control, we help parties analyze the project's critical path to determine whether these circumstances actually affected the final delivery date or didn't impact the project's critical path at all.
Post-Delivery Maintenance Warranties
We review maintenance warranty clauses construction companies commit to for a defined period after a project's final delivery, and help project owners claim activation of this warranty when faults falling within its scope appear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you review EPC contracts for major industrial projects?
Yes, we have direct experience reviewing EPC contracts tied to energy and refinery projects in the Eastern Province.
What's the difference between arbitration and litigation for construction disputes?
It depends on the dispute-resolution clause in the contract itself — we'll advise the right path once we've reviewed it.
The contractor delayed project delivery. Are they liable for a delay penalty?
We review your contract's penalty clause and any circumstances that might exempt the contractor from this penalty, and help you claim your full right.
We discovered execution defects after delivery. What are our options?
We help you document these defects with independent technical reports and claim correction or compensation for them.
The subcontractor caused a delay in part of the project. Who bears liability?
We review the sub-supply contract to determine liability distribution between the main contractor and subcontractor.
We want to modify the work scope on a project under execution. How do we fairly document this modification?
We help you negotiate price and timeline adjustments fairly reflecting this change for both parties.
The contractor is claiming a time extension due to bad weather. Is that sufficient justification?
We analyze the project's critical path to determine whether these circumstances actually affected the final delivery date.
