Kiltoom draws on extensive experience within the highly regulated UK and Irish construction and infrastructure sectors.  We deliver the specialised commercial and contractual support necessary to navigate these issues, ensuring smooth project delivery and fair commercial outcomes for all parties involved.

Kiltoom’s expert advisory services ensure Management Companies can efficiently handle utility company requirements and protect landowner interests through dedicated support in project management, comprehensive contract management, and meticulous Wayleave agreement oversight, with a specific focus on securing adequate compensation.

Robust Contract Management, Wayleave Agreements, and Compensation

We provide specialist commercial and contractual advisory services tailored for the complex UK & Ireland infrastructure landscape. This expertise is crucial for addressing the contractual demands of Wayleave agreements, ensuring that access is granted under commercially sound terms.

A vital aspect of this support is ensuring a robust commercial agreement for the landowners with adequate compensation:

Commercial Agreement Assurance: We apply deep industry knowledge of Irish and UK contracts (including PWC, NEC, RIAI, and JCT) and relevant UK and Irish regulations to scrutinise and develop Wayleave Agreements. Kiltoom focuses on achieving efficient, commercially sound resolutions through strategic guidance and support, ensuring that the resulting agreements appropriately protect the landowners' commercial interests and establish fair compensation.

Risk Mitigation and Review: Kiltoom implements proactive strategies through detailed contract reviews to identify and address critical contract risks associated with utility access, thus safeguarding all stakeholder interests.

Claims Expertise: If compensation disputes or claims arise from the utility access or subsequent works , Kiltoom offers comprehensive Construction Claims Management services, including the expert preparation, defence, and assessment of claims.

By partnering with Kiltoom Advisory, Management Companies can leverage an independent perspective to effectively manage complex utility interfaces, securing legally compliant Wayleave agreements while ensuring commercial terms—including landowner compensation—are fair and robust.

Expert Infrastructure Project Management

Wayleave processes often lead directly into complex infrastructure projects across sectors like Telecoms, Water Infrastructure, Power Lines and Electricity Distribution Networks, or Road Infrastructure. Kiltoom Advisory provides Expert Infrastructure Project Assurance services to ensure these necessary works are managed efficiently and successfully.

We offer strategic project management oversight services during the project associated with the wayleave (duct installation etc).
