We’re not precious about being the only ones who know the rules – we’d rather share our process and thinking with you and give you the tools to be succesful. It’s not just about staying out of trouble either. It’s about planning for growth and success. That’s why we put education and training at the start and heart of what we do.
Training for today. Education for tomorrow.
We’re all about teaching you to fish. That means giving you the tools, resources, guidance and education that will empower you to take control of your own situation.
Areas we train in:
- Innovation and its affect on the construction industry
- Regulation and changes to legislation
- Understanding contracts and their potential impacts
- Understanding adjudication in practice, and the ramifications
- Post adjudication training for ongoing improvement
- Creating effective payment schedules
A tailored and flexible approach to empowering you
Our approach to education and training is to find the best way that will support you and your team for the long run.
We provide structured training and workshops on specific topics that affect many businesses in the building and construction industry. We also offer “on the job” training where we embed our team with yours during a project. As we’re completing the work we also train your team so they up-skill for the future.
It’s all part of our commitment to helping you beyond the initial engagement.

At Fair and Square it was important to partner with a legal firm that understood the complex needs of the construction security of payments legislation but also the current changes to the legislation with the move to Project Bank Accounts. Our innovative business required a legal firm that was equally innovative, our values needed to match, we absolutely didn’t want a business as usual approach, so naturally Helix Legal was our choice for our legal requirements now and into the future.
