Pre Contract Services
It is fundamental to the success of any project, irrespective of size that the correct procurement route is adopted. At Foy Consulting we have practical experience of both construction and contract law and combine these with our knowledge of resolving disputes to understand how a particular dispute could have been avoided. In our experience many disputes emanate from an incorrect procurement method combined with unclear or ambiguous contractual arrangements. These in turn leads to a breakdown of trust between the parties following which disputes become a virtual certainty.
