Construction
Construction is an industry that has always experienced high rates of business stress, with many businesses often waiting a long time for payment or profits to be realised from developments in which they have invested, which often have a significant impact on cash flow and the payments of creditors and suppliers.
On top of this there are the various contractual arrangements that construction companies must face, both before, during and after a build is completed.
This is particularly the case with the standard Joint Construction Tribunal contracts that most businesses rely upon, which can easily be affected by another party’s insolvency or a sudden termination of contract.
Many companies will also face variations to their build contract from a range of parties including sub-contractors and suppliers, which can suddenly increase the cost of a build or force it stop. We can help you re-negotiate these changes or deal with the financial pressures they bring.
