+ WHAT CAN GO WRONG?
How do construction disputes occur?
A recent construction industry-wide survey looked into the most common causes of construction disputes.
These are:
● A failure to make interim awards on extensions of time (EOT) and/or compensation.● A contractor/subcontractor failing to understand and/or comply with their contractual obligations.● Poorly drafted or incomplete and unsubstantiated construction claims.
All these top causes of building disputes are linked. Instructing our leading construction dispute consultants can help you avoid them.
+ WHAT DO WE DO
Our construction dispute resolution services
We help contractors and subcontractors resolve construction disputes quickly and effectively. Our team specialises in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) – a more cost-effective and faster process than litigation.
Construction adjudication
Adjudication is the leading method of ADR in the UK construction industry. It aims to resolve issues quickly so that disruption to project cash flow and work is minimised. We have considerable experience successfully representing general and specialist contractors in adjudication proceedings.
Dispute avoidance
One of the most effective ways to avoid contractor disputes is to prepare a well-drafted, detailed construction claim supported by substantial evidence. A clear understanding of your contractual obligations can also protect you from conflict. Our experience in this area has prevented or rapid de-escalation of common disputes.
