Construction Disputes
Finding yourself involved in a construction dispute can be particularly upsetting and frustrating, especially if it relates to sub-standard or unfinished work carried out to your own home. It can also cause significant problems for a builder who has carried out a good job, but then finds their customer is unreasonably refusing to pay.
We have experience in acting for both customers and builders and are often able to resolve such disputes without either party having to resort to court proceedings (litigation). It is usually possible for terms of settlement to be agreed after correspondence, negotiation and/or mediation. If proceedings are necessary, we advise you about the most cost-effective strategy and will do everything we can to bring the case to a speedy conclusion.
Building disputes typically involve arguments over:
- defective works
- non-payment
- other breaches of contract
- planning issues
- failure to supervise works properly
- whether the specifications were correct
We are used to dealing with problems relating to all kinds of building works or property developments (whether they are small extensions or large JCT contract works) and whether the parties involved are the main contractors, sub-contractors, surveyors, architects, structural engineers, quantity surveyors, builders or the client.
