About Us

Project & Commercial Advisory Group (PCAG) is a specialist consultancy providing contractor-side commercial management and dispute advisory services to the construction industry. Led by senior commercial specialists with major infrastructure experience.

We work with contractors and subcontractors to manage contract risk, protect margin, and respond effectively to commercial issues before they escalate. Our support is practical, evidence-led, and aligned to the realities of live project delivery. PCAG supports clients across Australia and New Zealand with claims preparation, delay and EOT strategy, contract risk reviews, commercial management, and quantum advisory. Whether the priority is avoiding a dispute or establishing a clear and defensible position, we focus on commercially sound outcomes and usable deliverables.

Our Services

We help contractors protect margin, strengthen entitlement, and improve project outcomes through clear commercial advice, contract risk reviews, claims support, and delay analysis.

Claims Preparation

Construction claims often fail not because the issue lacks merit, but because the claim has not been properly structured, supported or presented.

Pre-Contract Reviews

Many commercial problems on construction projects begin with contracts that are signed too quickly, accepted without proper review or negotiated without a clear understanding of the risk profile.

Post-Contract Support

Construction projects move quickly. Entitlements can be lost just as quickly if notice provisions are missed, records are incomplete, scope changes are not properly documented, or delay events are not tracked in a structured way.

Delay Analysis

Delays can have significant commercial consequences on any construction project. They affect completion dates, prolong preliminaries, disrupt trade sequencing, and give rise to disputes over responsibility, entitlement, and cost.

Commercial Advisory

Commercial issues in construction rarely arise in isolation. They are often connected to programme pressure, access constraints, scope change, payment issues, contract administration gaps and changing project priorities.

Why Clients Engage PCAG

Clients engage PCAG when they need clear commercial advice, strong documentation, and practical support on live project issues.

Contractor-Focused Advice

We understand the commercial pressures contractors face during delivery and tailor our advice to practical project outcomes, not theory.

Evidence-Led Approach

Our work is built around records, notices, correspondence, programmes, and cost data, so positions are clearly supported and easier to defend.

Clear, Usable Deliverables

We prepare documents and advice that teams can act on: submissions, registers, notices, claim narratives, briefings, and commercial strategies.

Dispute-Ready Standards

Where matters escalate, we help clients move forward with well-organised information and a clear position suitable for further legal or expert review.

“PCAG provided clear, practical advice and helped us organize our claim position properly. Their support improved the quality of our submissions and gave our team much greater confidence in how we presented the entitlement and supporting records.”

“David and the PCAG team were thorough, commercially minded, and easy to work with. Their contract review identified key risk areas early and helped us negotiate a more workable position before execution. The advice was clear, balanced, and directly relevant to project delivery.”

“PCAG assisted us with delay and EOT matters on a live project and brought structure to a situation that was becoming difficult to manage. Their approach was evidence-led and practical, and they helped us prepare a far more robust and defensible position.”

“What stood out with PCAG was the quality of their documentation and their understanding of contractor-side commercial realities. They were responsive, professional, and focused on outcomes. Their work helped us move forward with a clear strategy and well-prepared supporting material.”
