Atlas have varied and extensive experience in Commercial Management and Quantity Surveying from the Tender process (including PFI Projects) through to negotation of complex final accounts. Our experienced professionals have a proven record of excellence in tracking and reporting against the budgetary constraints often associated with the present day environment in Construction. Control and early notification of change throughout the duration of the Contract often prove to be vital to a prompt and equitable final account resolution.

One service that we are pleased to provide is a Commercial 'Health Check'. This has become increasingly popular with many of our clients - Atlas will review existing procedures and provide recommendations as to how to improve systems, performance and reporting, thus minimising risk.

In the modern industry, disputes are more prevalent. Atlas have been involved in resolving dispures on behalf of clients, contractors and sub-contractors. Adjudication, mediation and arbitration are the three most common approaches to resolution of disputes in the present climate. In situations where we have been unable to achieve an amicable settlement on behalf of a client, we have the knowledge, expertise and experience to manage a dispute from notification through to final settlement.

We are pleased to have formed a close affiliation with a leading firm of Lawyers, specialising in Construction Law, and as such we can offer a comprehensive service. Atlas have also acted as experts in Quantum and offered technical and commercial advice during litigation proceedings.

The key to preventing disputes and contention in Construction Contracts is ensuring the correct documentation and data is incorporated at the time of drafting. Atlas have successfully drafted forms of Contract and Sub-contract for many of our valued clients. Also, by careful control of correspondence, programme and effective notification during the contract period, Atlas are able to minimise your exposure to commercial risk.

An integral part of any valid claim for Extension of Time and Loss and/or Expense, is correct notification and precise presentation of the relevant and pertinent facts in a format that can be understood by all parties involved. Atlas have prepared and defended against contractual claims in many complex contractual situations. We have a pride in our clear presentations and negotiating skills in addition to our extensive knowledge of Contract Law. Our professional consultants have experience in almost every standard form of contract in the industry, as well as 'rogue' versions.
