Contractor support
across six sectors
Matthews & Roberts provides construction contractor support across six primary sectors — from tender and mobilisation through live delivery and handover.
Each sector has distinct delivery pressures. Our project, programme, commercial, safety and technical capability is shaped around the contractor's environment — not a generic consultancy framework.
Built around the contractor delivery environment
Matthews & Roberts is a specialist construction consultancy supporting contractors with the project, commercial, programme, safety and technical capability needed to deliver successfully.
We work alongside existing contractor teams — strengthening capability where projects, programmes or workload demand more than the permanent organisation can provide. Our consultants understand construction from the inside.
Programme pressure, subcontractor interfaces, commercial change, site risk, Temporary Works, quality and handover are connected parts of delivery. We treat them that way across all six sectors.
Tier 1 to Tier 3 contractor support
We support Principal Contractors, main contractors and specialist contractors across all tiers.
From tender to handover
Capability available at pre-construction, mobilisation, live delivery, recovery and project close-out.
Project-specific or retained
Project-specific, embedded or retained consultancy depending on the requirement.
Across six primary sectors
Commercial, Data Centres, Education, Housing, Industrial and Transport — each with sector-specific content.
Six sectors. One consistent standard of contractor support.
Professional capability across the delivery team
Matthews & Roberts support is organised across five capability groups. Each can be engaged individually or combined into a broader delivery package.
Project Delivery
Project leadership, programme development, controls and coordination around live construction delivery.
Commercial
Contract risk, notices, change, applications, subcontract accounts, forecasting and final account.
Safety & Compliance
Practical project arrangements, construction controls and H&S assurance around contractor obligations.
Technical & Assurance
Temporary Works governance, quality controls, inspections, NCRs and progressive completion.
Tender & Pre-Construction
Tender programmes, methodology, competency evidence, mobilisation and procurement readiness.
