Consulting engineer agreements and liability frameworks.

Who we advise

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.

What we do for engineers

• Consulting agreements

  Client-facing and head-contractor-facing engineering agreements.

• Sub-consultant pack

  Back-to-back sub-consultant terms.

• Disputes

  Defect and design-error claims, including expert-conclave prep.

Examples we're pulled in on

• 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
