DAC Beachcroft Seminar: Navigating the Legal and Commercial Lifecycle of a Construction Project

Today we had the pleasure of attending DAC Beachcroft’s seminar, “From Inception to Completion and Beyond: Navigating the Legal and Commercial Lifecycle of a Construction Project”.

During the session, we heard from Thomas Hurst, Jonathan Bond, Chris Baranowski, John Kanyemba, and Ruth Davidson, who explored key legal and commercial considerations throughout the full lifecycle of a construction project. Using a practical case study, the speakers highlighted common challenges and offered practical solutions.

Key thoughts:

• Procuring the project: Importance of clear contract terms and appropriate procurement routes to manage risk from the outset.
• Managing incidents: Effective procedures and communication are essential when dealing with health and safety issues on site.
• Finishing the works: Clear documentation and proactive management help ensure smooth project completion and final account settlement.
• Resolving disputes: Early engagement, good record-keeping and structured dispute resolution processes can minimise delays and costs.

Events like this provide valuable insights into best practice and help strengthen collaboration across the construction industry.
