Who We Are
We Protect What You Build — Commercially and Contractually
PactWise is a specialist consultancy focused on construction contracts, commercial advisory, and claims management across the UK and Middle East, with particular experience in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
With extensive experience in FIDIC contracts, contract administration, delay analysis, commercial management, and dispute avoidance, we support contractors, consultants, developers, and project stakeholders across complex construction and infrastructure projects.
Our approach combines practical commercial understanding with clear contractual advice, helping clients manage risk, protect commercial interests, and navigate project challenges with confidence.
We assist clients throughout the project lifecycle — from tender and procurement stages through to contract administration, EOT claims, commercial negotiations, dispute support, and final account settlement.
Contract Review & Risk Advice
We provide strategic contract review and commercial risk advisory services across construction and infrastructure projects, with particular experience in FIDIC-based contracts throughout the UK and Middle East. Our approach focuses on contractual clarity, balanced risk allocation, commercial protection, and practical project delivery considerations.
Claims Prevention & Controls
Effective commercial management begins long before disputes arise. We assist clients in implementing practical contractual and commercial controls for notices, variations, programme management, correspondence, record keeping, and change management — helping strengthen project administration and reduce future claim exposure
Claim Strategy & Drafting
We prepare, assess, and advise on EOT, disruption, prolongation, variation, and cost claims using structured entitlement analysis, programme logic, contractual interpretation, and well-supported cause-and-effect assessment. Our submissions are developed with a clear commercial and contractual focus tailored to complex project environments.
Dispute Resolution & Negotiation
We support clients through challenging commercial and contractual matters by providing strategic advice, dispute management support, contractual correspondence, negotiation assistance, and preparation for mediation, DAB proceedings, adjudication, and arbitration where required.
Our Process
Contract & Risk Review
We review FIDIC and bespoke construction contracts to identify key commercial and contractual risks, including payment provisions, time bars, variations, liabilities, and dispute mechanisms — providing practical, commercially focused advice tailored to UK and Middle East projects.
Control & Recordkeeping Setup
We help establish effective contractual and commercial control systems, including notice procedures, variation tracking, delay registers, correspondence management, and project records — strengthening administration, improving project visibility, and reducing future dispute risk.
Claims Strategy & Drafting
We prepare and assess EOT, disruption, prolongation, variation, and cost claims supported by contractual entitlement analysis, programme review, project records, and clear cause-and-effect assessment — tailored to complex construction and infrastructure projects under FIDIC and bespoke contract frameworks.
NEGOTIATION & DISPUTE SUPPORT
We support clients through commercial negotiations, contractual disputes, and contentious project matters by providing strategic advice, contractual correspondence, meeting support, and preparation for mediation, DAB proceedings, adjudication, and arbitration where required.
