Appointing professionals is one of the most important tasks in construction and engineering projects. At Hill Dickinson, we recognise the importance of getting this right and can advise on all issues surrounding consultant and contractor appointments.
Advice in this area calls for knowledge, not only of the construction industry, but also the professional insurance market. Our team is in close touch with the requirements of the market and can often save clients time, whether advising employers, developers or professionals.
In addition to the right building project there are several key issues at the heart of a project. They include the preparation of appropriate suites of consultants' appointments with those of sub-consultants and the novation of consultants’ services across to main contractors.
The property market today requires warranties from project professionals and often contractors and specialist sub-contractors as well. Without such warranties an interest in a property will be harder to deal with and funders will be reluctant to advance their capital. The need for appropriate insurance support is also very important.
The construction team’s wide-ranging development experience gives them a full understanding of the commercial needs for warranties. They are also well versed in the legal issues that arise for professionals and others in offering warranties and beneficiaries.
