Executive summary
The critical issues, overall position and matters that should be resolved before signature.
The flagship service
Understand the subcontract.
Before you accept the risk.
We compare the main contractor’s order against your quotation and expectations, identify what has changed and give you a practical commercial position before you sign.
What you receive
A commercial decision document, not pages of legal commentary.
The report is structured so a subcontractor director can quickly see the issue, understand the consequence and decide what to do about it.
Detailed issue register
Clause references, plain-English commentary, priority rating and recommended action.
Quotation comparison
Where the subcontract changes your price, programme, scope, exclusions or supply responsibilities.
Technical and information gaps
Outstanding design confirmations, documents, programmes and responsibilities that need clarification.
Commercial response positions
Practical wording and negotiation positions you can take back to the main contractor.
45-minute consultation
A director-to-director conversation to prioritise the risks and agree the next move.

What we need
The complete review pack.
We can only compare the position properly when we have both sides of the agreement.
01 The subcontract order and conditions
02 Every document stated to form part of the order
03 Your quotation and final revision
04 Your qualifications and standard terms
05 Any relevant negotiation or acceptance correspondence
We explain how the contract changes your commercial position and how that risk is likely to operate on a live construction project. Where formal legal advice is needed, we identify the point clearly.
Start with clarity
