Why Angsana Advisory

What Sets Our Approach Apart

We work through construction disputes methodically, with the kind of attention that complex project histories require.

Deep Familiarity with SIA and PSSCOC

We work extensively with Singapore's standard form contracts and understand how their clauses interact under pressure — from variation disputes to defects liability periods.

SOPA Advisory from First Principles

Payment disputes move quickly under the Security of Payment Act. We structure payment claims and responses with statutory timelines in mind, so nothing is left to chance.

Technical and Legal Work Together

Construction disputes often turn on engineering or quantity surveying questions. We coordinate with technical experts to ensure the legal analysis is properly grounded in project facts.

Both Sides of the Dispute

We advise claimants and respondents, and we understand how each party views the same set of facts. That perspective informs how we present — and how we test — a position before it is submitted.

Clear Advice at Each Stage

Whether a project is in its early contract phase, mid-construction, or heading toward formal dispute resolution, we provide advice that is calibrated to where things actually stand.

Singapore-Specific Context

Our advisory is rooted in Singapore's construction law landscape, including BCA frameworks, Singapore courts, and the Singapore International Arbitration Centre where applicable.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of construction contracts do you review?
We review SIA (Singapore Institute of Architects) contracts, PSSCOC (Public Sector Standard Conditions of Contract) forms, and bespoke contract documents prepared by developers or main contractors. Our review focuses on payment terms, variation clauses, time extension provisions, liquidated damages, and dispute resolution mechanisms.

How does SOPA adjudication work in Singapore?
Under the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act, a claimant serves a payment claim on the respondent, who has a fixed period to issue a payment response. If the dispute is not resolved, the claimant may apply to have an adjudicator appointed to determine the amount payable. The process is time-bound and relatively fast compared to litigation. We assist at every stage — from preparing the initial payment claim through to enforcing the determination if required.

When should I seek advice on a delay or defect claim?
Ideally before the claim position is formalised. We can assist at any stage — whether you are assessing whether a delay event is contractually compensable, evaluating a defect list served by an employer, or responding to a claim that has already been submitted. Earlier engagement generally allows for a more considered approach to how the claim is framed or contested.

Do you work with subcontractors as well as main contractors?
Yes. Our services are available to all parties in the construction chain — developers, main contractors, nominated subcontractors, and domestic subcontractors. SOPA protections extend across the supply chain, and our contract review and claim advisory services are structured to work at any tier.

How long does an adjudication proceeding typically take?
Under SOPA, adjudicators are generally required to reach a determination within 14 to 21 days of the adjudication conference, depending on the complexity of the dispute. The process from serving a payment claim to receiving a determination can often be completed within 6 to 10 weeks, though this varies with the specific facts and the adjudicator's schedule.

What information should I prepare before our first discussion?
For a contract review, the executed or draft contract document is the starting point. For a payment or adjudication matter, having the payment claim or response, any relevant correspondence, and the original contract available will help us understand the position quickly. For delay or defect claims, the project programme, defect schedules, and any expert reports or cost estimates already produced are useful context. We will work through whatever documentation is available at the time.
