What do our Building Dispute Solicitors do?

Our building dispute solicitors have experience in all types of construction and building disputes. Just a few of the matters on which we routinely advise our clients include the following:

  • Delays in project completion
  • Non-payment or underpayment
  • Poor workmanship or defects

How do our Building Dispute Solicitors resolve Construction and Building Disputes?

 

Our building dispute solicitors always seek to resolve building and construction disputes as swiftly and cost-effectively as possible. We are expert negotiators, and we frequently negotiate settlements of our clients’ disputes on excellent terms.

If the nature of your dispute is such that it cannot be settled through negotiations, our building dispute solicitors will consider which alternative dispute resolution methods might be appropriate. Most construction contracts stipulate that any disputes arising under them should be resolved through arbitration.

Arbitration is a type of alternative dispute resolution (often referred to as ADR). Arbitration is particularly suitable for building and construction disputes because it is designed to resolve issues quickly and practically, thereby enabling the parties to get on with the project. An arbitrator must deliver their decision within a 28-day timeframe, and that decision is binding on the parties unless and until they later decide to litigate the matter in court.

Our building dispute solicitors have extensive experience in adjudication and all other forms of dispute resolution. We will review the terms of your contract, assess the situation, identify your objectives, and advise you on which method would be most suitable in your case.

 

What are the possible outcomes of your Building or Construction Dispute?

The most common outcomes in building and construction claims include the following:

  • Damages are a financial remedy. The level of damages you are entitled to depends on the facts of your case. For example, you might be entitled to damages to compensate you for any losses you have sustained as a result of the other party’s delays.

 

  • If your claim relates to defective work undertaken by the other party, they might be ordered to remedy their work at their own expense.

 

  • Specific Performance.

 

If financial damages are not an adequate remedy in your case, the other party might be ordered to carry out specific acts in accordance with their obligations under your contract.

 

  • Recession or Termination.

 

If the other party has breached the contract and their breach is particularly serious, you may be allowed to terminate the agreement.

 

  • An Injunction.

 

Injunctions are powerful remedies. They compel the other party to do something or refrain from doing something. If they breach the terms of their injunction, they may be held in contempt of court and face imprisonment.

The remedies appropriate in your case will depend on the circumstances of your dispute. Our building dispute solicitors will consider the facts of your case and your commercial goals and advise you on which remedies you are entitled to.
