Common causes of building disputes
Construction disputes are common; it is inevitable that contractors and subcontractors will be involved in one at some point. There are many reasons why a disagreement can occur, including:
● Acceleration● Changes – change orders, variation orders/instructions, variation accounts● Defects and non-compliant work ● Defending claims and contra charges● Delay, extensions of time (EOT) and compensation● Design errors and omissions● Differing site or changed conditions● Disruption – loss of productivity and increased costs● Interim and final accounts● Loss and expense● Prolongation● Termination
Building dispute resolution
Whatever the nature of your dispute, our building dispute consultants can help. We will develop an in-depth understanding of the main issues and advise on the best resolution approach, which in many cases will be construction adjudication, but may also involve negotiation, mediation or arbitration. We will explain the process in clear, plain English and represent you at each step.
