Good advice isn't always what you want hear

We’ve all had that moment. You’ve just finished a 20-minute presentation, felt like a rockstar, and then looked down to realise your fly was undone the entire time. 

The worst part isn’t the zipper. It’s the fact that nobody told you.

In the world of construction disputes, a lot of consultants are "Yes Men." They’ll nod along to your client’s version of events because they want to keep the invoices flowing.

That’s dangerous.

A Bench Warmer is the mate who taps you on the shoulder and whispers, "Mate, fix your fly."

We dig into that contract you’re about to sign, or your non-existent site records and tell you the ugly truth before you stand up in front of an adjudicator. If the claim is rubbish, we’ll tell you. If the evidence is weak, we’ll show you.

It might not be what clients want to hear, but it’s definitely what they need to hear to save burning cash on a losing battle, or worse still – losing face and damaging a reputation.

You handle the progress reporting. Let The Bench handle the reality check.
