In the world of construction contracting, it's essential to understand and navigate the commercial risks that come with every contract.
As a subcontractor, a thorough commercial risk review is crucial for each contract to protect your interests and ensure the success of your work. When it comes to commercial risk reviews, it is common to feel overwhelmed or unsure of where to begin. The easiest path is to take a legal approach or alternatively merely to accept the terms issued by the head contractor.

Why is a commercial risk review important for subcontractors?
Contracts in the construction industry can be complex and full of legal jargon and work scopes can be intentionally vague and all inclusive. A commercial risk review ensures that you understand your obligations and rights under the agreement and have the necessary people and controls in place to deliver on these obligations helping you avoid costly liabilities or disputes down the line.
It also allows you to identify any potential risks or red flags in the contract, giving you the opportunity to drive clarity of scope in the negotiation or walk away before signing on the dotted line.
