We work with organisations responsible for procuring, delivering and managing commercial, residential and public sector building projects.

We regularly work with:

• Federal, state and local government agencies

• Insurance and claims management organisations

• Strata and facilities management firms

• Commercial developers and private asset owners

• Education, health and community asset operators

• Construction companies and project delivery teams

• Professional consultants and project managers

Our services are engaged where an independent, delivery-led perspective is required to support procurement decisions, manage delivery risk and strengthen project outcomes.

In addition to our advisory services, Lucas Construction Group also operates as a commercial building contractor delivering fit-out, remedial, heritage and new build works across public and private sector projects.

This allows our advisory team to draw on current, market-tested construction practices, procurement conditions and delivery methodologies when supporting projects.

Yes very much so.

Our advisory services are provided through a separate engagement stream and we manage potential conflicts of interest in accordance with client and procurement requirements.
Where required, this is formalised as part of our engagement documentation.

No.

Our role is to provide targeted, senior-level advisory support and independent review at key decision points.

We complement existing project management, superintendent and consultant functions rather than duplicate them.

Yes.

Our advisory services are scalable and are tailored to suit the size, complexity and risk profile of each project, ranging from targeted peer reviews through to multi-stage advisory support across the project lifecycle.

Our team brings experience supporting projects from small, targeted advisory engagements through to major commercial and public sector projects in excess of $40 million in value.

Advisory services can be engaged at any stage of the project lifecycle.

Most commonly, we are engaged:

• prior to going to tender,

• during construction where delivery or commercial risk is emerging, or

• prior to practical completion and handover.

Deliverables are tailored to the engagement and may include written review reports, marked-up documentation, risk registers, programme and methodology commentary, and procurement or evaluation support material.

We routinely work under confidentiality, probity and governance frameworks required by government, insurers and commercial organisations.

We can provide independent technical and delivery input to tender evaluation processes, including participation in evaluation panels where required.

We support clients, project teams and contractors with advisory services such as methodology review, programme logic review and buildability advice, subject to conflict management requirements.

Our advisory services are focused on early risk identification, delivery support and dispute avoidance.
Where specialist forensic or expert witness services are required, we can support clients in coordinating with appropriately appointed experts.

Engagements are generally scoped around a defined project stage or decision point, such as pre-tender review, construction phase risk review or completion readiness.

Services may be provided as a fixed-fee engagement or on a time-based basis, depending on the scope, timeframe and level of involvement required.

We can generally commence advisory engagements at short notice, subject to availability and the nature of the scope.

For time-sensitive matters such as live projects, procurement milestones or completion reviews, we prioritise early engagement to support critical decisions.

Yes.

Where required, our advisory services may include site inspections, site meetings and participation in project workshops to support programme, methodology, risk and completion readiness reviews.

We are based in Sydney and primarily support projects across New South Wales.

Our advisory services are also provided nationally, and we regularly support clients and project teams on projects across other Australian jurisdictions where remote and hybrid engagement is appropriate.
