SJA provides retainer-based commercial and contract support services for Tier 2 and Tier 3 contractors, designed to scale with project workload and performance requirements.

Rather than working in isolation or stepping in only at critical points, we integrate with your project teams to support consistent commercial control during delivery.

Our support typically includes:

• Early identification and structured capture of variations
• Contract administration aligned with live project activity
• Notice, time bar and entitlement tracking support
• Subcontractor contract review and alignment
• Assistance with EOT preparation and claim structuring
• Commercial oversight across multiple active projects

The focus is simple:

To help ensure commercial position and project delivery remain aligned throughout ex*****on, not just at close-out.

This provides contractors with additional commercial capacity without increasing permanent overhead.

If you’d like to explore how SJA can support your current or upcoming projects, get in touch, we are happy to have a practical conversation about what would add value.

One conversation can open the door to another. In construction, those connections can travel surprisingly far.

After hearing about a recent NAWIC NSW event through industry peers, SJA’s Jeanne Zhang joined the evening hosted by WT (Australia) for a closer look at the engineering and design behind Atlassian Central.

The discussion brought together Elaine Human, Associate Director at WT, Pauline Nemeth, Integration Director for Atlassian, Emily LaVigne from Dexus, Matt Williams from LCI-Consultants and Philip Donovan from WT, with some fascinating insight into the technical ambition behind what is set to become the world’s tallest hybrid timber tower.

The hybrid timber approach itself is significant, but it was the detail that made the discussion particularly interesting: low-carbon construction, recycled timber pallets repurposed as internal finishes and an innovative façade designed to increase natural ventilation and reduce dependence on conventional mechanical air conditioning.

It was also a great example of why NAWIC is such an important part of our industry.

SJA works alongside WT on a variety of projects. Here, through NAWIC, Jeanne had the opportunity to hear from WT and other project leaders about an entirely different major project.

That crossover happens constantly across our industry. People, expertise and ideas move between projects, sectors and organisations, creating a much bigger network of knowledge and collaboration than any individual project might suggest.

NAWIC creates a valuable space for those worlds to meet.

And when our projects are becoming more technically ambitious, more sustainable and more interconnected, those conversations matter.

In our experience working with Tier 2 and Tier 3 contractors, commercial pressure rarely shows up in one place, it accumulates across delivery.

Common areas include:

• Variations progressing on site without formal commercial capture

• Time bars and notice requirements not consistently tracked

• Subcontractor scope assumptions not fully aligned at award stage

• Extensions of time supported operationally, but not fully structured contractually

• Cash flow lagging behind actual changes in scope

These are not unusual on active projects.

They typically occur when commercial management becomes reactive due to competing site priorities.

Over time, this can affect entitlement clarity and overall project financial performance.

SJA can help. We provide highly experienced and scalable, retainer-based commercial and contract support to contractors. Our team integrates directly into your project delivery team allowing you access to senior commercial capability when it is needed most - without the cost or rigidity of full-time resourcing.

NSW has no shortage of major projects. The bigger conversation is how they will be planned, procured and delivered amid rising costs, capacity constraints and increasing expectations.

That conversation will take centre stage at the 16th Annual NSW Major Projects Conference, being held on 8 and 9 September at the International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney).

The program will explore the transport, energy, water and urban development projects shaping the state, alongside broader discussions on procurement, digital transformation, sustainability and the realities of delivering major infrastructure at scale.

Ben Marshall will be attending on behalf of SJA and looks forward to connecting with clients, colleagues and industry peers across the two days.

If you are attending, be sure to say hello.

Last week, SJA’s Maximilian Benz , Xiaojung Yip and Managing Director Mark Lincoln attended events across Singapore Convention Week and the Asia Power Forum 2026.

The week provided an excellent opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and exchange perspectives on developments across dispute resolution, expert evidence, insurance and the power sector.

Particular highlights included Charles Russell Speechlys and Assurety’s session on the psychology of witness performance under cross-examination, together with the Asia Power Forum’s Global Claims Insights panel examining the principal challenges facing the insurance market in 2026.

Thank you to the organisers, speakers and everyone who shared their time and insights throughout the week.

Most Tier 2 and Tier 3 contractors are delivering good work but not always seeing the full commercial return from it.

In many cases, margin erosion doesn’t come from one major issue. It builds gradually through live project delivery:

• Variations identified but not always captured early

• Contract notices missed or submitted late due to site pressures

• Subcontractor claims managed reactively rather than proactively

• Limited time to maintain consistent commercial control across multiple packages

Individually, these are understandable on a busy project.

However, across a portfolio of work, they can quietly impact overall project performance.

The challenge is rarely capability. It is often commercial bandwidth during delivery.

This is where having scalable commercial support in the background can make a measurable difference to project outcomes.

SJA provide contractors with retainer-based, flexible commercial and contract support. Connect with our experienced team to know more.

As corporate members of Lighthouse Club Australia, SJA is proud to sponsor the Sydney Branch’s flagship Annual Wine Tasting, a firm favourite on the construction industry calendar.

Behind the social side of Lighthouse Club Australia is an important purpose. Part of an international charitable organisation dedicated to the construction industry, the Club supports educational opportunities for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and organisations making a positive difference across construction, from education and employment pathways to mental health and su***de prevention.

The Annual Wine Tasting brings that community together for an evening of connection, conversation and, of course, some very good wine.

Guests will also hear from award-winning sommelier Shun Eto, who will guide the evening’s tasting and lend a little expertise to proceedings.

We’re proud to support Lighthouse Club Australia and look forward to raising a glass with plenty of familiar faces in Sydney.

Two days in Kuala Lumpur offered valuable insight into how construction law and disputes practice are developing across Asia.

SJA’s Maximilian Benz and Xiaojung Yip attended Construction Law Week 2026 at the Asian International Arbitration Centre, joining discussions on project risk, delay and disruption, quantum, adjudication and dispute resolution.

This regional perspective is important to SJA as our work increasingly crosses jurisdictions, contractual frameworks and project environments.

Thank you to the Society of Construction Law Malaysia and L2 | Legal Plus for an excellent programme and to everyone who shared their time and perspectives over the two days.

PART 6 | When forensic experts become involved can be just as important as why.

The earliest decisions often have the greatest influence on cost, programme, evidence preservation and dispute outcomes.

The final part of our Understanding Failure series explores why early expert involvement consistently delivers better technical and commercial outcomes.
