Financing & Guarantee Advisory

Overview

A bank or surety provider assessing a construction risk asks a different question than a contractor does: not "can this be built," but "what happens to my money if it isn't, on time, as planned." Because our starting discipline is construction management, we can answer that question from the inside — the programme, cost and risk position we would defend in a claim is the same position a lender needs to see before it commits.

We do not lend, and we do not issue guarantees ourselves. Our role is to structure the request properly, present it to the institutions that actually hold the capital, and negotiate terms on our client's behalf — drawing on London's position as a global centre for construction and trade finance.

Scope of service

Performance Bond Structuring

Preparing the technical and financial case for a performance bond, matched to the contract's actual requirements rather than a generic template.

Advance Payment Guarantee Advisory

Structuring advance payment guarantee requests so they reflect real project cash flow needs and are presented in the form banks expect.

Project Finance Arrangement

Introducing and negotiating with banking and alternative finance partners for construction and development finance, based on a realistic reading of the project's programme and cost plan.

Surety & Institution Matching

Identifying which banking, surety or alternative finance provider is actually suited to a given project's size, sector and risk profile — rather than a single default relationship.

Facility Negotiation Support

Representing the technical position through negotiation of terms, covenants and drawdown conditions, so commercial terms are agreed against an accurate project picture.

Lender Reporting

Ongoing progress and cost reporting formatted to what financing partners require through the life of a facility — reducing friction at each drawdown or review point.

Notice

We do not issue guarantees or provide financing from our own balance sheet, and we do not undertake development as a principal. This keeps our advice independent — for the developer, the contractor, and the institution providing capital.
