Construction and Infrastructure

The construction industry operates within a complex framework of codes, regulations, legislative requirements and budgetary measures. Contractors, government, sponsors and stakeholders need expert advice in order to assist with the navigation of this framework with a view to achieving the best outcome for major projects. The right advice means that project requirements are more likely to be met and optimal outcomes achieved.
