Consulting engineer agreements and liability frameworks.
Overview
Consulting engineers face concurrent obligations to clients, head contractors and — increasingly under state DBP regimes — to owners for the life of the asset. We draft engagement terms and manage the disputes that come with structural, civil and services work.
Where we're pulled in
Common challenges.
- Design and Building Practitioners Act (NSW) statutory duty
- Liability apportionment on multi-consultant projects
- Novation and design-and-construct arrangements
- PI cover alignment and run-off obligations
