Whether you are a builder/developer, architect, surveyor, engineer or client of a building project (and whether it is a small extension or a major development), it is important to have a written contract which clearly sets out as a bare minimum:

  • the exact works to be done by all of the parties involved
  • the payment terms and in particular whether payments have to be certified (certificated payments)
  • how any dispute should be handled for example whether through arbitration, adjudication, mediation or the courts

Whether you wish to use the formal JCT contracts, or wish to prepare your own, we can advise on what needs to be covered.  If there is a breach or a failure by one party to do what they have agreed to do, we can help find a solution and advise on the best tactical steps to take to resolve the problem.

Alternatively, if you believe you have complied with all your obligations but are being accused of a breach of contract, we can help you defend yourself and assist you in finding a sensible solution.

To speak to someone who can advise on breach of contract issues or any other commercial litigation claim call, email or request a call back from one of our specialist lawyers.
