Advisory Services
Independent advice for complex commercial and contractual challenges.
Virtus Consult provides specialist advice to clients facing construction-related commercial, contractual and project delivery challenges.
Our experience in Project Management, Quantity Surveying, programme controls and contract administration gives us a practical understanding of how construction projects are procured, managed and delivered — and the circumstances in which difficulties can arise.
We support clients in assessing contractual positions, understanding potential liabilities, resolving disagreements and identifying practical routes towards completing projects.
Our approach is evidence-led, commercially realistic and focused on helping clients make informed decisions.
Our Services
Construction Claims
We assist with the preparation, review and assessment of construction claims involving additional costs, variations, delay and other contractual matters.
Our services can include reviewing project records, evaluating contractual entitlement, assessing supporting evidence and preparing or reviewing claim submissions.
Dispute Support
We provide commercial and contractual support where disagreements arise between parties to a construction contract.
Our involvement can include independent assessments, analysis of disputed valuations and variations, reviewing relevant records and supporting negotiations or formal dispute resolution processes.
Where specialist legal or expert witness advice is required, we can work alongside the client’s appointed advisers.
Contractual & Commercial Advice
We advise clients on contractual mechanisms, commercial risks and the management of change during construction.
This can include reviewing contractual positions, evaluating potential financial implications and advising on the records and procedures needed to support informed decisions.
Contractor Insolvency & Project Recovery
Contractor failure or serious project underperformance can create immediate commercial, contractual and practical difficulties.
We assist clients in establishing the status of works, assessing financial and contractual exposure, reviewing outstanding obligations and developing strategies for protecting the project and progressing towards completion.
Our services can include independent assessments, valuation of completed and outstanding work, procurement advice and management of replacement delivery arrangements.
Independent Project Reviews
We undertake independent reviews where clients need a clearer understanding of project performance, outstanding risks or the available options for proceeding.
Our assessments can address programme, cost, procurement, commercial management, contractual arrangements and the status of outstanding work.
