Your Commercial Bodyguard on Call
Commercial construction contracts transfer uncapped risk onto smaller businesses every day. CCC gives $1M–$10M subcontractors and consultancies access to senior commercial expertise, at a cost that makes sense.
The problem in plain terms
Construction contracts are written by principals and their lawyers to protect the principal. By the time a $2M–$8M subcontractor has signed and started on site, the risk transfer is already locked in.
Miss a notice window by a day and you can be time-barred out of an extension of time claim worth tens of thousands. Accept an uncapped indemnity clause without knowing what it means and you carry personal liability that can follow you off the project.
The businesses that manage this well have a commercial manager on the team. Most subcontractors and consultancies at this scale don't. A senior commercial manager costs $250,000 a year in headcount.
What CCC does
We bring commercial contracts expertise to Australian subcontractors and consultancies who've been priced out of it.
That means reading the whole contract, not just filing it. Preparing notices that are valid and referenced correctly. Sitting in on delivery meetings when the commercial picture is getting complicated. Reviewing tenders before you commit to risk you haven't priced.
Who this is for
CCC works with $1M–$10M commercial construction subcontractors and engineering or design consultancies across Australia. If you're on AS 4000, AS 2124, NZS 3910, or a bespoke head-contract subcontract and the commercial side keeps you up at night, you're the right fit.
Four ways we work
Rights and obligations review. Notice and template pack. Tender and pre-contract risk review. Commercial support on call. Each service is described in detail on the Services page.
Construction contract expertise, on your terms
Four services. Each one delivers what a $250k in-house commercial manager provides, structured so a subcontractor can actually afford it.
Rights and Obligations Review
A plain-language summary of what your contract actually requires: the dates that bite and where the traps are.
Notice and Template Pack
Ready-to-send, contract-specific notices pre-referenced to your exact clauses: delay, EOT, variation, and more.
Tender and Pre-Contract Risk Review
A commercial departures position before you sign, so risk is negotiated knowingly rather than discovered after it triggers.
Commercial Support On Call
A commercial manager's expertise on demand, including delivery-meeting support and early-warning on emerging risk.
What makes CCC different
Not a document tool. Not a generic legal template service. A senior commercial operator who has sat on the other side of these contracts.
Senior commercial expertise
10+ years administering contracts across billion-dollar programs. Not a generic tool. A senior operator who reads the whole contract.
Available when the contract turns
Commercial support on call when you need it. No day-rate commitment. No waiting for a consultant's diary.
Built for your actual contract
Notices and risk reviews referenced to your specific clauses, not generic templates that can be ruled invalid on a technicality.
Affordable protection
The protection of a $250k in-house commercial manager structured as an affordable retainer, without the headcount.
