3. Service Description
Angsana Advisory provides specialist advisory services in the field of construction and building disputes in Singapore. Our three core services are:
- Construction Contract Review — review and commentary on construction contracts including SIA, PSSCOC, and bespoke forms.
- Adjudication & Dispute Board Support — support for proceedings under the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment Act (SOPA).
- Delay & Defect Claim Advisory — advisory on delay events, defect assessments, and settlement of construction claims.
Angsana Advisory provides legal advisory services and is not a law firm. We do not represent clients in court proceedings or act as solicitors of record. Where court representation is required, we will advise you accordingly and may refer you to qualified solicitors.

All content on this website, including text, formatting, design elements, and materials, is the property of Angsana Advisory or its licensors. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and view this content for personal or internal business purposes only.
Advisory outputs and marked-up documents prepared by Angsana Advisory in the course of an engagement remain our intellectual property until all fees in respect of that engagement have been paid in full, at which point ownership transfers to you for the purposes of your matter.
You may not adapt, republish, or use our advisory outputs in litigation or adjudication proceedings involving Angsana Advisory without our prior written consent.
6. Advisory Fees and Payment
Advisory fees are quoted in Singapore Dollars (SGD) and are subject to prevailing Goods and Services Tax (GST) where applicable. Our current fees are:
| Service | Fee (SGD) |
|---|---|
| Construction Contract Review | S$160 |
| Adjudication & Dispute Board Support | S$370 |
| Delay & Defect Claim Advisory | S$680 |
- Payment is due as specified in the engagement confirmation we send you.
- We accept payment by bank transfer to our designated account details.
- Fees are non-refundable once advisory work has commenced, except where we are unable to deliver the agreed scope due to circumstances within our control.
- For complex matters requiring engagement of technical experts (e.g., delay analysts, quantity surveyors), their fees will be communicated separately and are in addition to the above.
7. Service-Specific Terms
Contract Review
- The scope of review will be confirmed in writing before commencement.
- Our review commentary reflects the contractual position as at the date of the documents provided. We do not advise on matters arising after that date unless separately instructed.
- A contract review does not constitute legal advice for the purposes of litigation privilege.
Adjudication Support
- Adjudication under SOPA involves strict statutory timelines. We will advise you of relevant deadlines, but compliance with those timelines remains your responsibility.
- Our support does not extend to representation at any adjudication hearing unless specifically agreed in writing.
Delay & Defect Claims
- Claim outcomes depend on the contract terms, the available programme and site records, and the conduct of all parties. We do not represent that any particular outcome will be achieved.
- Where technical expert engagement is needed, we will recommend appropriate specialists and facilitate their appointment. Expert fees are separate from our advisory fee.
8. Disclaimers
- Information on this website is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.
- No advisory relationship is created by browsing this website or submitting a general enquiry.
- Advisory outputs are tailored to the specific matter and documents provided. They should not be applied to other situations without further advice.
- We do not warrant that this website will be continuously available or free from errors. We may update or withdraw content at any time without notice.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by Singapore law, Angsana Advisory's aggregate liability to you for any claim arising from or related to our services shall not exceed the total fees paid by you for the specific engagement giving rise to the claim.
We are not liable for any indirect, consequential, special, or incidental loss or damage, including loss of contract, loss of revenue, or loss of anticipated savings, whether or not we were advised of the possibility of such loss.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Angsana Advisory and its advisors from and against any claims, losses, or costs (including legal costs) arising from your use of our services in a manner inconsistent with these Terms, or from any inaccurate or incomplete information you have provided to us.
11. Termination
Either party may end an engagement by giving reasonable written notice. If you terminate an engagement after work has commenced, you remain liable for fees proportionate to the work completed to date.
We may decline to continue or commence an engagement if, in our professional judgment, a conflict of interest arises, if we are unable to verify the accuracy of information provided, or if the matter falls outside the scope of our advisory capacity.
12. Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of Singapore. Any dispute arising from or related to these Terms or our services shall first be addressed through good-faith written communication between the parties.
If resolution is not reached within 30 days, disputes shall be referred to the courts of Singapore, which shall have exclusive jurisdiction to resolve the matter.
